Grand Seiko Captures The Beauty Of A Japanese Winter In New Spring Drive

Grand Seiko finds a lot of inspiration in nature around its Shinshu Watch Studio in Japan, the place where all Spring Drive models come to life. For their latest model, the brand captured the spirit of Shizuri-yuki. This is the natural phenomenon when freshly fallen snow cascades down from the branches, creating a spectacular play of light. As we have grown accustomed of Grand Seiko, they translated this beauty in the most sophisticated way in a timepiece, in which design and craftsmanship go hand in hand. READ MORE

Watch of the Week: Zenith Chronomaster Original

When done well, diamonds on a watch add more than just to the price tag. This is a delicate exercise that is not that easy to accomplish. It is all about finding the right balance and incorporate the precious stones in such a way that they elevate the watch as a whole and create synergy with its design. With the new Chronomaster Orginal, Zenith is giving a master class on how to achieve this. What is most interesting is that they only need sixty-five brilliant-cut stones to make a dazzling display. Fifty-six are used for the lugs, with an additional nine as hour markers on the dial. They seem like details, but the impact is profound. READ MORE

TAG Heuer Welcomes Ryan Gosling As Brand Ambassador

Ryan Gosling needs no introduction. The multi-talent actor started acting at a very early age on Disney Channel’s “The Mickey Mouse Club,” which also launched the career of Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears among others. While already making his mark in several (independent) movies, it was the romantic movie “The Notebook” that made him a household name in 2004. Since then, his star has only been rising, as he continues to show his versatility in a large number of roles. Over the years, he has won numerous awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Actor, for his performance in the romantic musical “La La Land.” Now he teams up with TAG Heuer, serving as their brand ambassador.

Haute Complication: Louis Vuitton Escale Spin Time Meteorite

When launched for the first time in 2009, the Spin Time introduced a new concept of telling time. While a regular hand indicates the minutes, only the current hour is revealed. Its innovative movement places the hour markers, displayed on cubes attached to spokes, in their usual place on the dial. With the relevant hour shown against a background of gold, the remaining ones are hidden, with their cubes showing a different side decorated with motifs inspired by Louis Vuitton’s famous luggage collections. The beauty of this concept is that it is not only highly legible, but also taps deep into the DNA of Louis Vuitton. READ MORE

A. Lange & Söhne Awards Unique 1815 Chronograph At Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is an event that has no equel. What started in 1929 on the banks of Lake Como, with the famed Villa d’Este as its backdrop, has grown into one of the leading shows of vintage cars in the world. The level is extraordinarily high, as only 50 cars, built between the 1920s and 1980s, are welcomed at the event. They represent the finest in automobile history, yet as it is a Concorso, they will also be judged by some of the leading names in the industry. Last night, at an exclusive gala dinner, the winner of the “Best of Show” category, has been awarded a unique version of the 1815 Chronograph by A. Lange & Söhne. READ MORE
