Nice HJ.

Kinda mini peek

Seems like they're featuring home boys' watch. I'll bet that's not a mere department store timepiece.

Yea, those dang rich guys at Ford. Not impoverished, guy-next-door homies like Jeff Bezos.

Looks like a Weiss Field Watch:

For sure not a cheap watch, but not a 5-6 figure Swiss either. They're assembled in TN, though they probably start with a Swiss ETA movement. I think it's pretty sweet. Doug has good taste!

You'd think they'd go with Shinola or DWC for a watch...

That would assume someone at Ford knows shit from Shinola.

Just under $2900 US if I order from my location. Shipping is free, though.

We know it’s a slow news day in the Slate world when the hot topic is the brand/model/price of a watch being worn by a Ford exec.

It's been a slow news day in the Slate world since 24 April, 2025....

The Ford midsize EV seems to have a very Japanese vibe. The Slate on the other hand has more of an 80's American vibe. I know which vibe I prefer....

Maybe they want everyone to believe that the new Ford will be built to the same standard and be as reliable as the watch.

I don't know what kind of vibe it has. We've seen this fraction of the bed rails, and a bit of the area that would be the grill on an ICE vehicle. And those have probably been bits of prototypes that may be changed significantly.
Anything else that has been posted has been just artistic renderings, mostly done with AI.

I was hoping someone would know they watches enough for an ID.
