Looking to add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe? Or a piece that will make you feel nothing short of royalty? Then get a load of these amazing timepieces.
From a traditional Japanese design, to a watch spangled with stars – here are two awesome timepieces that’ll make you feel like you totally rule!
Hamilton’s Jazzmaster Open Heart Collection
For over 130 years, the Swiss-based Hamilton Watch Company has been delivering premium and absolutely stellar timepieces . Ranging from pocket watches to wristwatches, the brand has always remained consistent in terms of quality – but the master artisans aren’t satisfied with just performance, because they also pour their blood and sweat into creating beautifully-designed pieces.
Introducing the Jazzmaster Open Heart, a duo of stunning timepieces that make our hearts throb. These fine accessories come in a 42mm case diameter as well as a smaller 36mm, perfect for those looking to get the perfect size for themselves or for couples who’d like a matching pair.
Despite its name, the dial arrives in a striking midnight blue that is chock-full of shimmering dust, imitating a night full of distant and twinkling celestial bodies. However, the real star lies past the dial. Openings in the surface unveil the beating heart of the device, the in-house H-19 automatic movement, which boasts an 80-hour power reserve. This mechanism is also geared with advanced Nachron balance springs for additional anti-magnetic protection that would set the piece off track. Speaking of protection, regardless of the variant you choose, all these intricate parts are housed safely in a stainless steel case. You can also opt for a leather strap for a more simplistic yet elegant design or go for the 5-link steel bracelet.
The Jazzmaster Open Heart timepieces are available for purchase now at Hamilton’s official webstore, with prices ranging from US$1,025 (~RM4,560) to US$1,125 (~RM5,005).
Casio MRG-B2100 “Blue Ink” Dial
In the world of watchmaking, there is no brand that is able to blend ruggedness and stylishness better than Casio’s G-SHOCK subsidiary. For decades, the brand has been able to conjure up durable masterpieces with incredible efficiency and speed without sacrificing precision. This time around, they’ve decided to add an air of luxury to their more recent watch.
Since its creation, the MRG-B2100 has always been touted as one of the brand’s more premium creations, largely due to its elaborate dial design. However, its body is nothing to scoff at. Coming in at a full-metal design with a bezel composed of 27 COBARION components, this sturdy and scratch-resistant material is capable of shrugging off even the most perilous falls and impactful bumps. If that’s not enough, the case, back, buttons, and crown are crafted from lightweight, robust Ti64 titanium for additional strength and comfort.
It has also been refined to a mirror finish thanks to its Zaratsu polishing that would make even its deep black body and royal blue accenting dazzle under a light source. However, the standout piece of this entire watch is the “Blue Ink” dial, which was inspired by the traditional Japanese kumiko lattice patterns. This intricate design adds an additional dimension of elegance and regality, while simultaneously allowing light to pass through and power the solar module beneath.
The MRG-B2100 isn’t just a timepiece; it is a full-on calendar capable of keeping track of the day and date. It also has Bluetooth connectivity, an LED light, and an automatic hand position correction, all while having a power-saving mode that extends battery life up to 18 hours.
G-SHOCK’s MRG-B2100R-2AJR will debut in Japan before February at G-SHOCK’s official webstore, retailing for JP¥550,000 (~RM15,713), with a global release to follow.
