NEWS WATCHES

Laco Cuxhaven And Bremerhaven Watches
I’ve always believed that good design should be invisible. We should only see the end product, not the sketches that led to it. With the release of the Laco Cuxhaven and Bremerhaven watches, the popular German brand is leaning heavily on the “form follows function” mantra of the Deutscher Werkbund. The result is neat, but is the design a success? On first glance, both watches leave me indifferent. It’s the same feeling I get when I pick up a spoon. It barely registers in my mind that the object I am holding was created. It’s just there. It is only when one starts to appreciate the many virtues of a spoon that one starts to appreciate this kind of design. If I were to give the process that results in such minimalistic watches a name, I would call it “functional restraint.” These watches are not minimalistic in an?artistic sense, rather in a utilitarian fashion that makes them eternally relevant.
Can You Be A ¡®Serious' Watch Collector On A Budget?
Sponsored PostTo read the reports from SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horologerie) or the latest auction headlines, you would think that watch collecting is the preserve of the super-rich. Prices with four, five or even six zeros seem to be the norm and those non-millionaires amongst us can feel reduced to observer status only.So what can you buy if your pockets are not so deep? The good news is that there is a lot of fun to be had in the shallow end. There are “serious” watches of significance that can be bought for less than the price of a quartz fashion piece.
