In August of 1969, one of the most epic, influential and talked about concerts of all time took place over three days on a small dairy farm in upstate New York. We are, of course, talking about Woodstock. With expected attendance of fifty thousand and actual attendance closer to half a million, coupled with more social rights and activism talking points than can even be mentioned, Woodstock was a cultural revolution mired in multiple crises. Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation is an upcoming PBS film that tells the story of the iconic event from a completely new perspective. As they describe it, “With never-before-seen footage, Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation tells the story of the political and social upheaval leading up to those three historic days, as well as the extraordinary events of the concert itself, when near disaster put the ideals of the counterculture to the test.” Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation screenings will be happening all over the US later this month with Q&A’s from filmmakers and special guests at many of them.

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
