Jo Lewis
Confident, smart, and with a serious “can do” attitude, Jo Lewis leads the McLaren team responsible for Colour & Materials design across all their products, including Special Operations. She signs-off on everything from the shimmer of the paintwork to the texture of the steering wheel, the softness of the leather… even the colour of the […]
Chimed to Perfection
The announcement of a new Patek Philippe grand complication chiming watch is a special occasion. They are rare and highly sought after. In fact, one – the Grandmaster Chime ref. 6300-01/A, a movement that is a magnum opus of chiming complications in a small case, holds the world record as the most expensive watch ever […]
Dreams of White Time
White has always been associated with purity, elegance, and simplicity. In many religions, white conveys rich symbolisms, for example, innocence and sacrifice in Christianity and purity, self-mastery, and emancipation in Buddhism.

It might seem a simple enough proposition. Buying a watch should be a matter of walking into a retailer, selecting the one that captures your eye and meets your budget, and handing over your credit card.

Clock-Tale hour
Time looked likely to have passed clocks by almost entirely.
