Clock from Santa Claus
Have you been a good boy this past year? Transferring grandmothers across the street, practicing safe sex, and how did a self-respecting person operate with hot snacks? Of course, now you think that at midnight on New Year's Eve an unshaven man in a red zipun will put a worthy gift for you under the Christmas tree? In vain! So big, but you believe in fairy tales. No, of course, Santa Claus exists (saechka to those who dare to prove the opposite). But you didn't write a letter to the Bearded One?! Semyon Semyonovich ...
OK, do not thank, we have collected for you ideas for the most original gift for your loved one, such that it is both prestigious and, at the same time, very clear.
Let's start with an aperitif from Seiko. The Japanese have just released the right collection of Presage watches. On January 1 (and this will be Monday), you meet with colleagues, they complain that the head is bo-bo, and the vinaigrette is still a bowl, and you have a product of bartender Hisashi Kishi gurgling on your hand, which he is doing in Tokyo at the Star Bar. Seiko was inspired by the blue drink Starlight and pink SakuraFubuki, and after sobering up, they created an amazingly beautiful watch, the dial of which is made in the guilloche technique and covered with 7 layers of varnish of the corresponding shades.
The next gift option is for those who quickly and without prompting answer the question: "2018 - the year of what?". Year of Putin's election again for the presidency? The year of the 22nd Olympic Games? World Chess Olympiad in Astana? Close, but not the same! It's the year of the yellow earth dog, gentlemen! In Switzerland, this is remembered and that is why Chopard released the LUC XP Urushi Year of the dog watch with a power reserve of 65 hours. On the body of the model, an Akita Inu dog by master Kiishiro Masumara is painted in the ancient Japanese technique of urushi lacquer. There are 88 copies of the Urushi Year of the dog in total. You thoughtfully evaluate the beauty of the game - 8.8. The luckiest number in the east!
Rostislav Romanov, a descendant of the royal dynasty, also had a hand in the creation of this model. The prince went to the wet business with a great goal - he dropped a little of his blood on the watch dials from the Raketa brand, dedicated to the October Revolution. This should symbolize sorrow for all those who died in the revolutions. Gothic, symbolic, monarchical.
Glamorous, brutal, fashionable. This is about Hublot's work in collaboration with Kanye West's tattoo studio Sang Bleu. The Big Bang Sang Bleu is reminiscent of the great da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" in design and is studded with obscene diamonds. And after the indecency, too.
It took the Swiss brand Zenith 342 years to create the Defy Lab. The Defy Lab concept is based on the ideas of the 17th-century astronomer Christian Huygens van Zeilichem, the same one who found rings on Saturn, found Titan on Saturn and, moreover, developed the first model of a clock with a pendulum. In fact, Defy Lab is a skeleton, but very peculiar. Holes on the openwork dial fold into the image of the Zenith brand logo - the morning star.
But do you know what will happen to those who behaved badly in 2017? Who often washed his car, and then because of this the whole city was wet in the rain? Who mixed expensive whiskey with Coca-Cola? Finally, who did not let his beloved girl watch Comedy Woman and walked her chihuahua in the morning without enthusiasm? Severe punishment, contempt for workers and a watch from Patek Philippe - reference 5790! Here you go, bad boys! In fact, on the CD of 21 Savage and Offset Without Warning this model is mentioned 10 times in different compositions. But such walkers do not exist in nature! They are pure fiction or, alternatively, a nod to the discontinued reference 5970 chronographs. You can still buy these, but only at auction and only for $100,000.
Draw your own conclusions and behave yourself, boys. And then, perhaps, under the Christmas tree you will also find the Snow Maiden. With coming! Your N.K.
