About Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge:
Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge has operated across the alley from the Ryman almost continuously since 1960. Its proprietor from 1960 to 1978, Hattie Louise “Tootsie” Bess, bought the lounge called “Mom’s” and named it for herself. According to tradition, a painter mistakenly painted the exterior orchid purple. The color was never changed and became Tootsie’s signature color. Over the years, she served such famous customers as Kris Kristofferson, Faron Young, and Willie Nelson when they were still up-and-coming artists, and Tootsie was well-known for her generosity toward struggling musicians. The photo and memorabilia-lined walls are called “Tootsie’s Wall of Fame.”
Today, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge is a must-see Music City destination for tourists and is frequented by locals, including some of the biggest names in country music, who often drop in and surprise patrons with impromptu performances. Kenny Chesney with classic rock icon Steve Miller, Keith Urban, Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Kid Rock, Steven Tyler, Jamey Johnson, Dierks Bentley, and Hank Williams, Jr. are among the artists who have recently performed there.

Which leads me link to a question: Why is the industry not including more women designers, with broad design reference points, in order to speak directly, link and in turn more effectively, to women consumers? This seems link like the logical way to move things forward in a carefully considered way. Less generic marketing and more intentional design please!
Throughout link these years, I've always tried to put the watch community first and cut through link as much of the noise as possible, and that will remain the goal of Hodinkee's editorial direction moving forward. Many of you know me, maybe from link a hangout, or a podcast, or maybe just for a certain green jacket and a Tudor GMT.
There was a palpable excitement around HODINKEE when Zenith announced this link new Chronomaster Original. Of the link three models unveiled – including both a steel model and rose gold models with intense patina vibes – it was the tri-color variant that had us all buzzing. When I saw it in the metal, I immediately understood link what all the fuss was about.
But of course, it doesn't link end with the latest Batman 127610BLNR. There are some other variations that need to be in this overview. What about the bi-colour watches that we have link brought up link here at Fratello more than once?
This model seems really prone to having the dial patina to a link warm, golden color, he said. While this dial started silver, it almost looks champagne now. It's the perfect, patinated, and slightly under-the-radar reference for a link long-time link vintage dealer.
