Counterfeiting, that ‘privilege’ that brands dream of

There are two kinds of counterfeiting. The one that is done with the complicity of the consumer, the accepted counterfeit, and the one that is done in spite of him, that tries to abuse him. The first one stimulates the consumer’s desire for inaccessible objects, leading him to take the step of illegal acquisition. The second, more refined, perfects its production tool and its finishes to such a degree of…

Hamilton and Hollywood, both H’s linked since 1951

{October 13, 2008} The shared story of these two “H “s starts underwater. The divers in the Oscar-winning film “The Frogmen” are all wearing Hamilton.

ArtyA Son of Sound ‘Union Jack’ chronograph appears in Paris Match French Magazine

It needed to be daring! This shape embodies the upper end of an instrument’s neck, where everything is harmonized and tuned. Yvan Arpa, a rock’n’roll figure of an inventive and no-limit watchmaking, touched by street culture, is here cultivating his penchant for music. He who used to collect, on the floor of their studio, the plectrums of the band Kiss to make dials, tries here to iconize this rupturist aesthetic.…

The truth according to ChatGPT, it’s quite scary!
