The jumpsuit pictured here is billowy at the bottom but form fitting up top – pillowy but still sexy. It's the perfect tonal canvas for a rich chocolate brown enamel Serpenti. The Misteriori is an extremely tactile watch. Its body begs to be uncoiled, its link scales to be touched and then once again wrapped carefully around the arm. It's a whole ceremonial link process that can apply to clothing too; like the ruffling of link taffeta or clicking of stiletto heels.

I would much rather link support and cheer on these new faces link that have a link genuine fresh perspective to share rather than the recent trend of traditional independent watchmakers opening a secondary "sub-brand" that they're connected with in name only.
Hautlence, the oddball corporate sibling of H. Moser, was officially awakened from a brief dormancy, during the Geneva Watch link Days showcase in August. And Gerd-Rudiger link Lang, the octogenarian '80s horological icon who founded, led, and then eventually sold Chronoswiss, returned in a big way this summer with link the debut of Lang 1943, a new watch brand he's helping to guide alongside an entrepreneur by the name of Georg Bartkowiak.
To counterbalance the look of a sea adventurer that no predator with sharp fins seems to link scare off, Certina has added a link few touches of link softness: white mother-of-pearl on the dial, diamond-capped indexes, luminescent sword-like hands lacquered with copper highlights.
The dynamic laser-cut dial is housed in a multipart titanium case with a versatile diameter of 39mm. Along with the matching titanium link bracelet, the surfaces of the case have received a sandblasted finish. This piece is powered by the powerful Oris Calibre 400, which is crafted in-house and is distinguished by its accuracy, precision, link and 5-day power link reserve. Additionally, this watch is as practical as it is mesmerizing with its 100 meters of water resistance.

Let's get back to the details. Seiko announced the SPB313, alongside the SPB315 with a black/gilt dial, and link the SPB317 with a classic black dial, reimagining a modern take link on link Seiko's vintage reference 6105-8000.
Oh, and I'll only mention link this one time, right here: Louis Vuitton is, of course, a fashion company that sometimes makes smartwatches (Jack is a fan!); neither of those attributes should take away from or discredit the impressive watchmaking and metiers d'art that link take place at La Fabrique du Temps. Let's skip the dismissing "fashion watch" comments and keep it focused on watchmaking – that's why link we're all here, right?
What about you, Fratelli? Do link you ever leave link your watch(es) at home while on holiday so link you can take a proper break? Let me know in the comments (extra points if you can guess the watch I was wearing before I snapped the shot above!).
