Of course, carved cases and straps are not uncommon, but most of them are modified watches or high-end watches. It is the first time to see such a personal and industrial-style decoration like Bell & Ross.

The engraving effect of the bezel is very good, and the middle link of the bracelet is also decorated in the same way, adding an elegant style.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Series Watch Kazuyo Sejima Special Edition
Architecture is solid, time is fluid, static and dynamic are two sides of one body. Bulgari collaborated with Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima (winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2010 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2004) to create this refreshing Octo Finissimo series watch Kazuyo Sejima special edition . Beneath Bulgari’s iconic Octo Finissimo appearance, the architectural style gives its dials its soul with its own aesthetic.

Bulgari Aluminium Watch Sorayamaji Special Edition
In addition to the high-end Octo Finissimo, the entry-level Bulgari also has an impressive new product – the special Bulgari Aluminium watch Sorayamaji. When I first saw the watch, it gave me the impression that the brand applied the fish scale pattern that is often seen in the decoration of the movement on the dial. But in fact, this watch is the product of cooperation between the brand and the famous Japanese artist Sorayama Ki.
Interestingly, the designer states that the circular swirl pattern was inspired by the fuselage design of the Spirit of St. Louis (but very different from the same aircraft-inspired design above). The watch features galvanized texture and subtle details, and the silver dial is embellished with a shimmering pearlescent swirl pattern, reminiscent of a body that shines in light. The only number “2” is derived from the artist’s lucky number.
The watch features an aluminum case and a rubber bezel, the crown and case back are made of reinforced black titanium, and the bottom case is engraved with Sorayama’s personal signature in dark black.

Baume & Mercier also has a watch with a unique pattern that makes people remember this year, that is, the Baume & Mercier Rivera series Riviera Baumatic calendar automatic watch 10701. The watch abandons the iconic mountain and sea pattern, adopts a semi-hollow design, and has a grid-shaped semi-transparent dial with a soul, which is reminiscent of sports tools such as tennis and badminton rackets. In fact, its inspiration comes from navigation, in smoked blue. The sapphire crystal dial has a nautical look.
The watch uses a 42mm stainless steel case, the side of the case is surrounded by blue anodized aluminum, and the colored lines of the groove in the middle of the crown subtly echo the tone of the dial.

The blue rubber strap covered with canvas texture is just right.Official watch price30,400 yuanRMB.
Yulian Noramins Calendar Watch 2022 German Antique Car Rally Limited Edition
As early as the first time I saw this Yulian Noramins calendar watch in the 2022 German antique car rally limited edition in the circle of friends, I was deeply impressed. The watch draws inspiration from antique Mercedes-Benz cars, with a two-tone dial, and the outer ring of the milky white dial has a curved design, echoing the round shape of the antique car. The black hollow grid plate in the center becomes the visual focal point, making the car’s radiator grille. Through the grid, the automatic movement inside the watch is looming, adding a bit of mystery.
