On the occasion of welcoming 2023, why not break away from the rigid time-reading framework, turn passive into active, and let yourself become the pioneer of "mastering time" and "steering at the helm"!

LV mascot career change

Vivienne, the mascot of Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton), jumped on the Tambour Slim Vivienne jumping hour watch. It is cute and confusing. The unique way of reading time makes complex watches more interesting.

Please read on...

Before getting down to the topic and studying how the Tambour Slim Vivienne jumping hour watch tells time, you must first understand the role of Vivienne’s transformation. She has transformed into three identities, namely the fortune teller on the dark blue aventurine surface, and the mother-of-pearl dial. The circus juggler on the watch, and the casino dealer on the green surface made of skarn, no matter what kind of occupation they look cute, and these different identities also affect the "props" when reading on the dial.

There is a display window on each side of Vivienne's left and right hands, which shows the hour, and the current time will be displayed by jumping from the two display windows.

The minute display is a slender, almost invisible transparent wand designed from the heart of Vivienne, and the end of the wand is decorated with tarot cards (for fortune-tellers), playing cards (for casino dealers) and Louis Vuitton Monogram presbyopia The juggling ball (circus juggler model) perfectly echoes the theme of the watch when reading.

Every expression of the big-eyed clown has a play

Konstantin Chaykin, an independent watchmaking brand from Russia, launched the first Joker series wristwatch in 2017. With its interesting and humorous time-reading design, it immediately sparked discussions in the watch circle, and then named it Wristmons, which means "monster on the wrist".

On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the series, the brand launched women's watches for the first time. The theme is Harley Quinn. The main visual red color is very pleasing, and the diameter of the watch has also been reduced from 42mm to 40mm, which is more suitable for women's wrists. The "Harley Quinn" embossed letters are engraved on the top to echo the theme, and the "Harley Quinn" logo engraved on the movement can also be seen on the transparent sapphire crystal glass back cover, which is the biggest breakthrough different from the first Joker series.

How to read time?

Pay attention to the hour and minute indicators on the "eyes". The time is displayed by the rotation of the eyeballs. The small bezel that reveals the hours and minutes is like the eye sockets of a clown girl. The upper and lower eyelashes are carefully designed, and the eyes are turquoise in different colors. Black and pink eyeliner is Harley Quinn's signature eye makeup.

As she walks, the eyes of the clown girl will show different expressions. When the eyeballs look upwards, they look like rolling eyes, and when the eyes are close to the middle, they look like cross-eyed eyes. The eyes show a helpless expression from left to right or up and down, which is super cute.

Not only the eyes are interesting, but the clown girl watch continues the Wristmons series and incorporates the moon phase display on the mouth and tongue, making the expression more rich and tense, and the tongue swings along with the moon's waxing and waning.

The strap design also continues the red check pattern on the Harley Quinn's signature mallet weapon, with a red and black diamond diamond pattern in the design, made of high-quality leather, humorous but without losing its texture.

Konstantin Chaykin Harley Quinn watch, stainless steel case, self-winding movement, hour and minute display, moon phase function, diameter 40mm, limited to 28 pieces worldwide, all have been collected as soon as it was released.

Adorable pet bulldog wrist interaction is super loving

If you are a dog slave and just love bulldogs, you must not miss MB&F's Horological Machine N°10 Bulldog "Bulldog" watch (abbreviation: HM10 Bulldog). Let's temporarily put aside the "reading time" to appreciate HM10 Bulldog , more like a conversation with a pet, people who own dogs can definitely understand.

What kind of interactions with beloved fur kids?

For example, when the dog's big eyes are staring at the owner, the two rolling eyes happen to be the hour and minute display panel; carefully tie the collar for it, and the two buckles fixed around the neck are used to wind the chain and adjust the time respectively. crown.

The grinning mouth is wide open, which means that it is now full of energy and wants to play with the owner; the corners of the mouth are slowly relaxed, and the lips are slowly closed, which means that the dog is tired; the dog’s mouth on the dial is also a watch For the display of power reserve, opening the mouth means that the battery is fully charged for 45 hours, and closing the mouth means that the power consumption is weak. It is a very cute power reserve display design.

The dog’s upper and lower jaws represent the power storage display, (left in the picture) the mouth is open to represent the full power point, (right) the upper and lower jaws are closed to represent the power loss.

The strap design of the HM10 Bulldog is like a bulldog’s exclusive leash; the lugs delicately connect the bezel and the strap like the “limbs” of a dog, so that the HM10 Bulldog with a large diameter design can also fit the wrist very well. The belt can be used with a folding clasp or Velcro according to personal preference.

What is even more lovely is the slogan engraved on the watch by the brand, which reads "Forget the dog, beware of the owner." It means that although dogs are sometimes scary, they are ultimately obey the master.
