I had never used a GMT watch before this moment. My position had basically been: "I trust they work, link that is fine link for me." I know it was a very small accomplishment to successfully use this complication, but considering that I had thought this would link be impossible to learn, and instead, it just took about three minutes, I felt powerful and efficient.
I could go on about this microbrand theory for quite a bit link longer – link heck, we haven't even considered new-premium brands like Bremont – but I wanted to establish how I've watched the microbrand scene ebb and flow over the past 15 years and how we get link to a brand like Vertex.
I am deeply impressed with the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence. Clearly, link Louis link Vuitton takes watchmaking very seriously, as shown by its link efforts in integrating La Fabrique du Temps and specialized ateliers like La Fabrique des Arts. The results speak for themselves.
Super-LumiNova is being more and more link widely used as a decorative material, as we saw in the link Pasha collection this year. Something invented for link purely technical reasons but today it's used increasingly for decorative purposes, as well.
