Artisans de Geneve "Brooklyn Skeleton" Daytona Spike Lee Hands-On
The concept of customized watches is far from new and has been around for years – remember Karl Lagerfeld and his blackened RO in the 1970s… But beyond the easy task of applying a PVD coating on a case or adding diamonds on a bezel, some workshops have created more advanced programs to offer an exclusive service of watch modification for private customers. And among them is Artisans de Geneve. Known for pushing the concept as far as modifying the movement and decorating it in traditional haute horlogerie-style, it works only upon request of its customers – some with famous names – on their own watches. And the latest watch to see the light, a joint creation done per request of screenwriter, director and Oscar winner Spike Lee, is something that can’t remain unseen. Here’s the Artisans de Geneve “The Cool Hand Brooklyn Skeleton” for Spike Lee.Disclaimer: Artisans de Geneve is an independent company specialized in the personalization of tim
The Orient Bambino 38 Collection offers some of the best value-for-money

Swiss counterparts like Hamilton and Tissot can't quite match the prices of these Japanese legends, and pieces like the Seiko 5 SNK809 show just how much watch you can get for under USD 100. Orient is a third Japanese watchmaker (and is part of the Seiko Epson Corporation, so under the Seiko Group umbrella) that offers affordable watches with in-house mechanical movements. It's sometimes overshadowed by Seiko and Citizen, but the latest unisex Orient Bambino 38 Collection is just as impressive as comparable offerings from those two juggernauts.?The new watches are part of the brand's Classic collection and have a vintage-inspired, timeless and elegant aesthetic. The stainless steel case is 38.4mm in diameter and 12.5mm in height (44mm lug-to-lug), so the size is certainly slightly retro. A gold (colour) plated case is an option with a whit
