Hautlence HL Vagabonde 03 Watch
Let me preface this by saying that non-round watches rarely do it for me, but the Hautlence?HL Vagabonde 03 has really caught my eye. Everything comes down to visual balance; if I had to pinpoint the one thing that gets to me more than any other, it would be the way the hands on a square or rectangular watch almost always get 'lost' when they track past the corners.In Perfect HarmonyMaybe, then, that is why I quite like the Hautlence HL Vagabonde 03. While it is rocking a TV-shaped case, it's completely done away with the hands. The time is displayed in a very unusual way. There are three apertures in the dial, evenly spaced around a rotating minute wheel. Through these apertures a digital hour indicator is displayed. Every hour, the “active” aperture changes, and the hour appears as several complicated discs align to “draw” it in place.
Citizen X Disney Mickey Watches
With the release of a series of Mickey Mouse watches, Citizen is renewing its long-term partnership with Disney and treading a well worn path. The Citizen X Disney Mickey Watches employ an already popular character, which has stirred up interest in the past, and attempt to bring an old idea back up to date. The release also coincides with the unveiling of several special clocks made by Citizen to be displayed around Disney’s world-famous theme parks.There aren’t many cartoon characters that look at home on a watch dial. It’s not?so unusual for brands to explore this personable style of decoration, but it rarely pays off. Of all the attempts, perhaps none has been as highly sought after as the legendary Micky Mouse Rolex. There is much debate as to whether any of these watches are “real” Rolexes or simply aftermarket redials. However, a consistent rumor persists that Disney Corp did, in fact, have a very limited number made for its executives.
