SOUND SUCCESS
FOLLOWING A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR, the watch industry has returned to the full swing of things with more exciting offerings, more colourful innovations.
As colourful accents and rainbow palettes continue to strike a chord with younger audiences worldwide, we also see the rise of of titanium across the board and the further experimentation of the precious metal platinum. But above all is the increased adoption of sustainable materials such as ocean plastics in watch cases and straps, developed in collaboration with various eco-organisations, giving waste a value, a new lease of life.
In the wake of important social movements for causes such as gender equality and diversity, many watchmakers have also found ways of chiming in by turning around their products and campaigns with a more diverse cast, gender-neutral designs and social initiatives.
To drive home the importance of excellence, we reached out to Montblanc for our latest cover exclusive, starring their Mark Maker and one of the finest artists of the classical order, Chen Kun.
Enjoy!
