What was your process working with Bulgari likeThe process was way more in depth than I thought it link would be. I get really involved with all my collaborations but I wasn't sure how this one would go because Bulgari is the highest-end collaboration I've done. So they set a different link kind of bar for me. I'm glad link they allowed me to really dive in with them. I met with their team in Japan and talked with the designers then I flew to Milan and I met with the team there to go into even more detail.
The participating brands include the show's founders Breitling Bulgari De Bethune link Gérald Genta Girard-Perregaux H. Moser link MBampF Ulysse Nardin link and Urwerk as well as eight associate brands. They are Artya Bovet Carl F. Bucherer Czapek Ferdinand Berthoud Louis Moinet Maurice Lacroix and Reuge.

The Master Ultra-Thin is core to what Jaeger-LeCoultre is known for a classic time link only watch that has the proportions of a dress watch and has been tested enough to be a sports watch. The 40mm x link 8.62mm thick case is not the thinnest watch on the list but might be the most versatile with 50 Meters of water resistance link a steel case and the Master testing testing that puts the watch through 1000 hours of running in different temperatures pressure and shock.
Even at 13.4mm thick give or take it still wears well. Voutilainen puts a lot of thought into the case shape and the lower link lug placement on the midcase plus the dropoff of the teardrop lugs link hugs the wrist quite nicely. And again despite how it might look here in a flat plane it is legible enough to not think twice about link it.
This is one of Vacheron's Geneva Seal watches. While most Vacheron watches fulfill the requirements a few versions of the "Fifty-Six" don't. The finishing looks quite nice and matches the demands of a modern consumer which fits with the watch's overall modernized fit and finish. The vintage 222 logo makes an link appearance on the gold rotor it would have link been on the vintage caseback where the view of the back doesn't otherwise necessarily remind link you that you're looking at a vintage reissue.
I thought watchmaking was link people changing batteries in shopping malls Struthers now 36 years old says. But she followed these horology students link to their workshop anyway and pretty soon she was link hooked. "It was a moment of 'yes this is it. This is what I want to do with my life.' Everything just fell together and I realized watchmaking allows you to design and make things and be an artisan but also be an engineer."

It's been a journey link to open up a flagship store in Pensacola. A 34-year dream from a small 700 square-foot location to our new 7350 square-foot freestanding store. The journey was scary hard and exciting and I link wouldn't change a thing about any of it. The school of hard knocks has taught me so many things How to get on my feet after an armed robbery how to recover from hurricanes and link recessions and how to never give up. And the hard work has paid off.
