So, what is that “it” factor that makes Anthony North watches so desirable? Is it maybe the clever combination of Bauhaus-meets-urban-meets-elegant design, packed in ultra-light and thin case suitable for virtually every occasion? Or is it that irresistible Scandinavian minimalist spirit, this time delivered within very quality package? Whatever their secret might be, Anthony North is definitely a watch of the moment and thus presents a viable opportunity for anybody in search for well designed, extremely stylish and urban-oriented timepieces that will certainly not break the budget, but will anyway provide a fresh breath of casual luxury to its wearer.

Just as the stalks of the giant fennel (ferula communis) served as vessels to carry fire in ancient times, Agonium Nethuns II is an authentic machine for preserving life. Clad in its imposing bronze or silver ‘shell’ that is water-resistant to 200 metres, the new Strom model is inspired by the world twenty thousand leagues under the sea. Like something straight out of the wildest childhood dreams and named after the Etruscan ocean god, it evokes both the retro-futurist world of Jules Vernes and the underwater kingdom.

Of the four known elements, water is undoubtedly that which most inspires life. In a state of perpetual motion, it flows from springs to streams and from rivers to oceans before returning to the sky and being reborn as rain. A perpetual cycle that has greatly inspired Daniel Strom for the creation of his fifth allegorical universe.

Hand-finished, individually numbered Nethuns II is an authentic diving instrument meeting international water-resistance and safety norms. Its unique construction is based on a sculpted additional outer case fitted over a perfectly watertight case. A sturdy screw-locked crown at 9 o’clock serves to adjust an inner diving bezel, offering a particularly sophisticated solution that prevents any inadvertent handling.

NETHUNS II like every watch in the collection AGONIUM, comprises two cases. The robust and hermetic inner case houses the movement. The outer case brings the artistic dimension and gives free rein to the sculptor’s talent. Each one is fashioned by hand, never two the same, with limited editions in each alloy. A sculpture first. A timepiece second.

A watchmaker, designer and philosopher, Daniel Strom has constantly questioned the past to enlighten the future. Considering time not as a simple measurement, but as a vital energy, he infuses his creations with a symbolic dimension, consistently highlighting the human condition faced with the eternal nature of life.

The post STROM AGONIUM – NETHUNS II DIVING WATCH God of Water – The 5th element of Daniel Strom appeared first on Style by Vukota.

Vintage lines of this masculine watch are reminiscent of the classic Speedmasters from the fifties, but with subtle yet effective changes. The name 57 represents a homage to a very similar model that was introduced in 1957, with so-called „broad arrow“ hands, also present on the contemporary model.

The movements inside Speedmaster ’57 are the Omega’s Co-Axial calibers 9300/9301, equipped with a silicon balance spring – the first of Omega’s exclusive in-house Co-Axial calibers to incorporate a chronograph function. This revolutionary and highly decorated movement is visible through the watch’s sapphire crystal caseback.

Finally, let’s be honest and think for a while: who could be a better poster-face for a watch that is at the same time vintage and modern, nonchalant but with dominant presence…than the iconic actor-turned director George Clooney? The slogan of the campaign says „George Clooney’s choice“.

I kinda believe that it really is!

It all started with simple Omega Seamaster quartz in „Goldeneye“ and since those days, Omega and Bond have stood side by side in a lucrative marketing deal that has proven extremely effective for both brands. For the new entry in Bond series, Omega prepared a limited edition of its already successful retro-looking diver, the Seamaster 300. Following the success of the similar-themed watches like Longines Legend Diver and Tudor Black Bay, Omega released its own vintage-inspired timepiece back in the 2014. They also did a tremendous job by implementing all cutting-edge technology in it, thus creating a timepiece that is retro only by its design, which is a re-imagination of a Seamaster watches from the 50’s.

For the newest Bond watch that will have its debut with new „Spectre“ movie, changes are subtle but evident. Gone are 18ct gold and two-tone options, because the watch worn by indestructible secret agent is (and must be) in durable stainless steel. The bezel on this limited edition, while still in scratch-resistant ceramic coating, is quite different than the one on the regular model. Instead of classical diving bezel, „Spectre“ Seamaster has dual-time bezel with 12 hour markers, for possible tracking of second time-zone. Water resistance is up to 300 meters, which makes it a perfectly capable for professional use. The movement in it is unchanged from non-limited edition, and it is a work of art. A prestigious in-house Omega Caliber 8400 co-axial movement is anti-magnetic up to 15,000 Gauss, thanks to the exclusive use of anti-magnetic materials in the escapement. What is also gone is a metal bracelet. Since the Sean Connery’s iconic turn as an agent in her Majesty secret service, a real Bond-watches were worn on NATO straps. Omega finally realized that and offered this limited edition Seamaster with fantastic fabric strap, strongly reminiscent of the one worn by Sean Connery in „Dr. No“.

Every Omega Seamaster 300 “Spectre” timepiece will have engraved its unique serial number, along with the „Spectre“ logo on the caseback and „007“ on the strap holder. This sleek and elegant timepiece is a perfect choice not only for franchise lovers or seasoned watch aficionados, but also for anyone who appreciates understated luxury and seeks for an indestructible timepiece of highest quality that is built to last for a lifetime.

The iconic Ventura, launched in 1957, with its striking, shield-shaped case, co-starred with the king of rock and roll in the 1961 movie “Blue Hawaii”. The Hamilton Ventura Elvis 80 family has refreshingly broad, unisex appeal due to a range of material and color combinations, as well as a choice between an automatic and quartz movement.
