Anders & Co

Andersmann has unveiled a timepiece brimming with the personality, character and technical prowess that exceeds expectations with the release of the CO AC2 VOLCAN. This inspired creation takes inspiration from the raw, untamed power of volcanic landscapes, translating geothermal energy into a wearable work of art. The watch’s defining feature is its captivating textured dial, a brilliant execution that mimics cooled lava rock with a tactile and visually captivating surface. This intricate canvas is housed within a robust 42mm case, available in two options: a brushed stainless steel or a contemporary black DLC coating. The end result is a commanding yet refined presence on the wrist that speaks to both the spirit of adventure and sophistication.

The VOLCAN’s dial celebrates modern micro-engineering artistry

The VOLCAN is a visual marvel, and the rough-hewn texture of its dial provides a compelling contrast to the polished, multifaceted hour markers and the sleek, skeletonized hands. Each element is treated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring optimal legibility across all conditions, from a dimly lit evening to the depths of an exploratory cave. At the heart of this robust instrument beats the revered Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, a caliber respected for its reliability and precision. This workhorse engine is expertly decorated with perlage and blued screws, providing a glimpse of the refined mechanics that power this rugged exterior.

Andersmann’s VOLCAN brings independent watchmaking value to the forefront

With the CO AC2 VOLCAN, Andersmann offers a statement piece for the discerning collector who places a high value on the importance of narrative and nuance. For the individual in search of a timepiece that makes its presence known apart from ubiquitous luxury brands, the VOLCAN proves that true horological brilliance often erupts from the most independent of sources.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
