Taking inspiration from the enduring genius of one of the most influential architects of all time Rado infuses its True Square Thinline series with the quintessential link color palettes link of Le Corbusier link in this this limited edition trio.
And the movement. Not link to beat a dead horse but I don't know how people can't get excited over an link independent link watchmaker introducing a brand new proprietary movement architecture then executing it on an industrial scale and keeping the price in the relatively affordable ballpark. And then to back it up with a 10-year warranty.
So once you've created all the link complications you wanted to what do you do next Combine them all of course. At the end of 1990 Blancpain introduced its Grand Complication 1735.

Rolex just dropped a new collection of link Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36s at link the Watches amp Wonders 2021 show.

The LVRR-01 is the opposite giving us everything we would want in an over-the-top complicated and branded watch in an actually good watch that stands on its own as a product even without the names attached to it. link My only problem is that I like link the rear-facing dial more than the front.

Of all the compromises made to get from the Pelagos link to the Pelagos 39 no HeV less link water resistance no trick clasp the clasp is the only one that would make a marked difference on my wrist. I'm not a saturation diver and the deepest I'll ever take any watch is about 40 meters but that dang clasp is so cool.
