CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can’t lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren’t quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.

Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT’s workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.

Vacheron Constantin introduces first minute repeater to overseas collection
Three complications, one sports watch: vacheron's new overseas breaks new ground
Vacheron Constantin Minute repeater

Vacheron Constantin presented the Overseas Grand Complication Openface. This is the first time a minute repeater has been used in the Overseas collection, which is known as a sporty line. The watch combines three major complications in a water-resistant titanium case.
Inside the new model is the manufacture's Calibre 2755 QP, a thin movement measuring 7.9mm. It features a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, and a power reserve indicator. This level of complexity is not often seen in luxury sports watches, as grand complications have usually been reserved for more formal watch lines.
The name "Openface" comes from the watch’s sapphire crystal dial, which makes the complex mechanism underneath visible. This clear design shows off the beauty of the movement. Rhodium-plated wheels and NAC-treated parts add a modern contrast that fits with the Overseas collection’s style.
Instead of sticking to traditional grand complication designs, Vacheron Constantin has put this watch in titanium. This material is chosen for its light weight and its ability to transmit sound well for the minute repeater. The case has new shapes that keep the Overseas profile while housing the complex movement.
As is usual for the Overseas collection, the watch comes with a titanium bracelet, keeping both comfort and practicality. Despite the complex mechanisms inside, the watch remains water-resistant difficult achievement for a minute repeater.
The Overseas Grand Complication Openface represents a change for Vacheron Constantin’s sports luxury line. The Geneva-based manufacture brings its top watchmaking expertise to the Overseas collection, continuing to blur the lines between high complications and everyday wearability.
Full specifications and pricing have not yet been released. This new reference will sit at the top of the Overseas collection and will be among the most technically advanced sports watches offered by any manufacturer.

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.
