First Look: The Piaget Andy Warhol Clou de Paris Watch, Now Officially Uniting Two Icons
Thanks to a licensed collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Piaget has been permitted to rename its cult 1970s Black Tie dress watch, which is now officially “the Andy Warhol watch”. Celebrating this meaningful association with the undisputed King of Pop Art and long-time watch collector and friend of the brand, Piaget introduces the Andy Warhol Clou de Paris watch.

Introducing: Quiet Club QC01 Fading Hours

That’s what Quiet Club aims to do with their first-ever watch, the QC01 Fading Hours.The whole idea behind the Quiet Club QC01 Fading Hours comes from the very notion of trying to be laser-focused in work or something your deeply p

With a solid corps of models, including the newly released?GMT Black Bay Pepsi model and the 39mm Black Bay Fifty Eight, there is no stopping the expansion envisioned by Tudor. With the Black Bay 32, Tudor advances into female territory with a model that packs the technical specifications of a mechanical tool watch with a small, more feminine diameter. With Lady Gaga posing as brand ambassador, Tudor is targeting young, dynamic women who don't necessarily equate femininity with diamonds, flowers and a quartz movement. Sporty with just a touch of stylish vintage-Sub, the watch is designed as a resilient everyday companion for women who want a watch that can keep up with their active lifestyle.Mission dominationIn the last year alone, Tudor has deployed a growing arsenal of Black Bay models – including a chronograph,?a hyper-cool bronze?model and a flashier two-tone?steel and gold variant – in its
