Introducing Objest Automatic, an affordable, contemporary, entirely customizable Swiss Watch

What is the ultimate luxury? To me, this is not a matter of price but rather of exclusivity, knowing that I don’t own the same shoes, bag, car or accessories as my neighbor. Having something unique is, to me, what best defines luxury, as I’m sure that what I own is my proper creation and that I’m not sharing it. However, to all nice story there’s a negative side: price. Exclusivity is expensive. What about watches? Not that easy to entirely customize a watch. Well, for those who want unique AND affordable, we just found this solution: Objest Automatic, an affordable, contemporary, entirely customizable Swiss Watch – launched on Kickstarter now.

LIST: 5 times Rolex helped to make the world a better place (for more than just your wrist)

Watch brands don’t change the world, right? Sure, it’s easy enough to create a limited edition watch that raises funds and awareness, but as for true and lasting change for the better…? Very rare.
That might be a fair generalisation for many luxury watch brands, but this style of one-off, often half hearted corporate social responsibility has never been the Rolex way.…

Introducing: First Pre-SIHH News From Vacheron Constantin – The Traditionelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon And The Patrimony Moon Phase And Retrograde Date

As hard as it is to believe, the next Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) is actually not that far off, and we’re already starting to get in the first batch of what’s started to become a tradition for the Richemont Group brands and other participating manufacturers: pre-SIHH teaser announcements. Vacheron Constantin is the first out of the gate with two new timepieces – relatively restrained, very classical interpretations of traditional complications for Vacheron, one a little more accessible than the other.

The Two Watch Collection: A Modern Rolex Submariner 14060 And A Vintage Piaget 12103

When thinking about assembling this two watch collection, I chose to interpret the idea in the most straightforward and practical way possible: Which pair of watches would have me covered anywhere, anytime? While the previous two columns from Jack and Ben each looked at a pair of watches with some similarities that revealed the respective brands’ idiosyncrasies, I’m going for two totally different timepieces here. The dichotomy is obvious, yet it is highly revealing of the distinctive benefits different types of wristwatches can bring. To the right you probably recognized a modern Rolex Submariner, and to the left we have a vintage ultra-thin Piaget. It’d be hard to think of two less-similar watches.
