00/24 WatchWorld

A watch brand has lately experienced an enormous attention. And I believe we can thank one guy for this, namely Anish Bhatt aka WatchAnish. This talented gentleman has a way of telling a story with luxurious pictures and makes the watches from SevenFriday look like something that should be on the wrist of any Lamborghini/Rolls Royce/Ferrari owner who travel in private jets and tan on their private yachts next to Jay Z and Beyonce.

As usual Gumball 3000 offers crazy and pimped cars but when Swedish pro skier Jon Olsson’s Ultima GTR Rebellion drove into the townhall square in central Copenhagen the other cars and respective owners must have felt a nasty sting of jalousy. This car is out of this world and the Swedish owner admitted that the 80 kilometers driven from Sweden to Denmark was the longest he had ever driven in this car that looks like a mix between the Batmobile and a car that Tom Kristensen would have loved to win his eight Le Mans victories in.

Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers will offer several extraordinary wristwatches on June 10th. Among the 78 lots a new old stock Tudor Submariner from 1979, complete with double boxset and certificates from a Danish retailer as well as an extremely rare Patek Philippe Calatrava of steel will go under the hammer.

Harry Winston keep their position as horological innovator par excellence with their 2012 launch of  the stunning and fascinating Opus 12. This innovative timepiece does not use hands to show time as we know them. Instead the 12 hourmarkers rotate every five minutes. This does not mean that you can only tell the precise time every five minutes as the central disc indicates these minutes via a retrograde hand.
