Join the waitlist for Mark Wahlberg's favorite ‘watch of the summer'
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Mark Wahlberg called it the 'watch of the summer' to his 31+ million followers — and we're inclined to agree. The NORQAIN Freedom 60 Chrono Enjoy Life Special Edition is flying off shelves and shows no signs of slowing down. And in true Wahlberg fashion, the endorsement came from a genuine love for a watch he discovered on Stan Wawrinka's wrist during the U.S. Open over a year ago. Wahlberg hasn't been paid to advertise his love for the watch; he just organically posted it one day to share it with the rest of the world. Founded in 2018, NORQAIN is a proudly independent, family-owned Swiss watch brand established by Ben Küffer, Stanley Cup champion Mark Streit, and Ted Schneider, whose family helmed Breitling for four decades. Advertisement With its retro-cool silhouette, a wink of whimsy in the date window, and a burst of sunny optimism across the dial, the NORQAIN Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm Enjoy Life Special Edition has quickly become the season's most-wanted wrist candy, and not just because of its playful summery color or ice cream cone detail, but it's Swiss well-made design. NORQAIN Designed in Switzerland by NORQAIN, the brand has become one of the fastest-growing luxury watch brands in the world, with over 300 retailers globally. Although it's a high price point up to $5,190, it'll last you forever and remain a generational collection piece.

Boston isn't known for art deco. But to find it, ‘you just have to look up.'
Write to us at . To subscribe, . TODAY'S STARTING POINT When you think of art deco, the iconic architectural style that favors intricate geometry, bold colors, and stylized depictions of humans mastering modernity, you probably don't think of Boston. The Chrysler and Empire State buildings in New York, seaside hotels in Miami Beach, and even the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles seem to have cornered the market in the popular imagination. The centennial of art deco — it burst onto the scene at a 1925 Paris exhibition — got me wondering why that is. So I did what any recently arrived Bostonian should: I took a tour. And as I learned, there's plenty of art deco in the city to enjoy, provided you know where to look. Around town Advertisement As Coppeto and Evans explained, the McCormack building (pictured above) has several hallmarks of the style. Its vertically arranged stone, metal, and glass draw the eye upward, making it look taller. Symbolic carvings of stylized eagles and the twin-snaked staff of the Greek god Hermes communicate its original purpose as a federal post office. Like castle battlements, its three towers hit the skyline at different heights. Advertisement The McCormack building also suggests one reason Boston art deco may be underrated. Construction began in 1931, less than a decade after growing demand for downtown office space forced the city to change zoning rules that had capped building heights at 125 feet. 'New York had skyscrapers galore,' said Evans, and was bigger and richer. 'Boston didn't.' 'Architecture's always speaking' But in a timely coincidence, Boston's zoning changes launched a building scramble just as deco became ascendant. Its style celebrated humanity's technical prowess and mastery of the natural world. As Coppeto and Evans led me around, we saw buildings that featured organic-looking doorway arches, balustrades designed to mimic swoopy vines, and wave-like chevron patterns. Art deco also tells a story. Years ago, when Amy Finstein worked at a downtown architecture firm, she'd walk over on her lunch break to admire the State Street Trust Building, constructed in 1929. A series of second-story bronze relief panels on the facade depict a comic strip of technological progress: humans harnessing horses, tilling fields, building airplanes, even designing the building itself. 'Iconography plays a much bigger role in art deco,' said Finstein, who now It sometimes speaks with a regional accent. The earthy brick exterior of Look up Art deco may be the most widely recognized architectural style. 'It's nothing that is so precious that only architects use this terminology,' Evans said. Advertisement Finstein thinks that's because art deco came out of an optimistic age that reveled in the opulence and possibilities of technology, from giant skyscrapers to intricately machined doorknobs. 'There are all these objects that reinforce the design vocabulary of the art deco moment in a way that is really visible and palpable for people,' she said. The Great Depression and World War II changed that, helping to send art deco out of vogue. The ziggurat-shaped Once you start looking, you'll see art deco throughout Boston. There's the Coppeto and Evans have been giving tours for decades. Their clientele includes the expected tourists and architecture enthusiasts, but also residents like me who just haven't paid enough attention. As we walked, I realized we were traversing some of the same streets I use to get to the Globe's offices. I'd noticed the facades — bronze is hard to miss — but, whether out of laziness or haste, not the stories they were telling. 'On this specific tour I get people who've been through, they work in the area. They never looked up,' Coppeto said. 'You just have to look up, see what's up there once in a while.'
