Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils Limited-Edition Reverso Tribute Enamel Hokusai 'Kirifuri Waterfall' Watch
In the history of Japanese art, no other name looms larger than Katsushika Hokusai. Over a career spanning the late 18th and the first half of the 19th century, Hokusai created thousands of ukiyo-e paintings, sketches, and woodblock prints celebrating the serene natural beauty of Japan, including the single most globally recognizable piece of Japanese art, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa."With its extensive expertise in enamel work, Jaeger-LeCoultre is well-positioned to translate these intricate works of art to horology and has paid tribute to "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"with a limited-edition Reverso in 2018. For 2021, the brand aims to capture the artistry of Hokusai a second time, miniaturizing the delicate line work, intricate use of gradient color, and the quiet sense of majesty present in the artist's 1831 print "Kirifuri Waterfall."The new limited-edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Hokusai "Kirifuri Waterfall"pairs one of the brand's most ornate enamel works to date
Habring2 And Sustainable Watch Making: Richard Habring's Unique Manufacture
My time with Richard Habring has shown me that he is a man on a mission. An independent watchmaker and namesake behind the company?Habring2, he stands alone among his peers as the only one making and selling watches for what in this industry is a low price. In-house movements in fine watches from as little as 4,000 Euros.How can this be? The words "independent watchmaker"usually bring to mind high prices brought on by exclusivity, low numbers and an emotionally vibrant back-story. All of these qualities, except high prices, are there in Habring's watches, and for that he is turning the whole idea of independent watch making on its head defying conventional expectations. Actually, in a sense he is returning to conventional expectations. Those that existed before the quartz crisis when mechanical watches went from being more ordinary to luxury items.
