Suave Looking Jaquet Droz Ceramic Power Reserve Watch
After the recent design success that Jaquet Droz had with its (silly named) Grande Second Sport Utility Watch, the company began to realize an emerging market for the brand that included a younger constituency. The next step it seems is a more toned down, but equally energetic watch which is the Ceramic Power Reserve.The case is entirely ceramic, which is of course one of the haute materials being used lately. Ceramic cases always have a sheen to them, but can vary in terms of gloss. I’d guess that this Jaquet Droz is somewhere in the middle. You’ll probably agree judging from the pictures. The watch comes in either black, with a matching rubber strap. You can get a similar Jaquet Droz watch in white ceramic, but that model does not have a power reserve. I’d have to say that I am reminded of Bell & Ross with their latest BRS watches. Perhaps not the design, but more the overall feeling and tone of the watches. They seem to be aimed squarely at the same market.
Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror Mk3 Fighter Project Watch
The Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror Mk3 Fighter Project watch finally takes the eponymous project and turns it into a limited edition of eight finished timepieces we can actually see and, a select few of us, purchase. We debuted the Mars Conqueror concept in 2018 and covered it in greater detail here, but since that last occasion in 2019, numerous major changes have been implemented to the watch Chaykin now intends Mars Conquerors to wear.If you haven't already, I highly recommend you first read our report on my visit to Konstantin Chaykin's watch manufacture in Moscow. In it, you'll read about one of the most agile watch manufactures in the world and, more importantly, you'll read what is probably the most detailed and honest profile on Mr. Chaykin himself. It is helpful when looking at any of his works to first acquaint yourself with their creator.
