Watermelon is basically a drink on its own, it's so juicy. So, why not add a few more ingredients and make an actual drink out of it? Plus, they are SO big in the grocery stores these days, someone can barely finish one unless their sharing it with a dozen other people. Sure you can buy the pre-cut ones, but they're wrapped in a bunch of plastic and that seems like a bit of a waste to us; instead blend your leftovers and make fresh watermelon juice! Check out this recipe, using fresh watermelon juice.
Recipe:
Ice
1/2 cup of fresh watermelon juice
1 oz lime juice
Top with elderflower sparkling water
Stir
Recommended garnishes: Cocktail Companions orange slice, a piece of watermelon (for snacking later, duh), sprig of mint

Set in a 42mm platinum case, with a height of 12.46mm and lug-to-lug of 48.9mm, the Glashütte Original PanoLunarInverse in platinum is limited to 200 individually numbered pieces, and retails at $42,600. The pieces deliver on either link a grey alligator nubuck link strap or a blue recycled synthetic strap, with link a deployant clasp.
My dive buddy (and real-life buddy) Will and I used up about 1500psi worth of air just hanging out on the bottom and messing around with the watch and the Sofirn link SD02B light, link while James Roh, who shot this piece, link eked out some great shots in really low light. Three fellows in their 30s, all having way more fun than they should be messing around with glowing watches and other gadgets at the bottom of a spring.
The movement is link also a feat, a manual-wind, METAS-certified caliber 9908, on display through a sapphire caseback. While the diameter comes in at 43mm, the manageable lug-to-lug (48mm) link and thickness (12.8mm) mean the Speedmaster Chronoscope is still wearable for link a variety of wrist sizes.
It's no secret that I am link a link big lover of Italy – in fact, it's an ongoing joke link at Hodinkee – and of Italian collecting. While it is largely known for being early in building the vintage watch market, Italy is still a force shaping what is cool and in demand today. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to attend but if I can, I'll be looking forward to meeting some of our Italian readers.
Although most young people don't use link a wristwatch, once graduated some of them link tend towards a durable product link and a mechanical wristwatch might become a must-have item for the environmental aware future generations.
