James Franco by Terry Richardson for GQ EUA.

James Franco stops by the studio of fashion photographer Terry Richardson for June 2013 cover story of American GQ.

“When I first read the script [for This Is The End], the James Franco character was—I guess the only way to describe it is he was a lot douchier than the version that we came up with. I was the materialistic guy. They were really playing up the Gucci-modeling aspect of my life.” – JF

Luxury Watch: The Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue

This will be a winner – the new 2013 Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue.

Tudor were BaselWorld darlings back in 2010 when they unveiled their retro-tastic Tudor Heritage Chrono, a timely response to the demand for vintage-inspired chronographs, and one which quite rightly put Tudor back into the industry.

The Heritage Chono Blue 2013 model evolves the collection from slightly monochrome aesthetics, adding the vivacity of blue and orange to that handsome and dapper face.

The case measures up at 42mm across – a sminch larger that the 1970′s model on which it is based, but perfectly sized for today’s marketplace.

That delicious blue bezel is in fact bi-directional and features hour markers representing a second timezone.

Hands and markers are suitably chubby, there is empty dial space to be enjoyed, grippy pushers which beg to be fiddled with, and in the box is a choice of steel bracelet or NATO-style strap…. ’tis the whole package, is it not?  Thanks to Sylvia McElherron and thewatchpress.com for the news.
