In the realm of horology, where opulence is everywhere you look, sometimes restraint is the true measure of sophistication. Mondaine is one notable Swiss brand revered for its unwavering mantra of clean, utilitarian design, and the release of its Essence White Collection serves as the perfect example of this principle. This most recent iteration of the critically praised Essence line presents elegance in its highest form, exuding the perfect balance of understated luxury and architectural mastery. Its sleek design proves that bold statements can be made just as fortuitously with a whisper.

A canvas of purity: Where design and serenity meet

The Essence White collection is visually breathtaking, a daring and elegant model that is the ultimate in refined minimalism. The white dial mimics a fresh snowfall, and the canvas features the brand’s iconic bold black hands and sleek indices. This dynamic design ensures increased legibility while simultaneously elevating the overall aesthetic. Housed within a slender 40mm stainless steel case, the watch’s satin-brushed and polished finishes play off the light to create a subtle, captivating dance. Another noted hallmark of the Essence collection is the integrated bracelet, and here it flows seamlessly from the lugs, guaranteeing a firm and elegant fit on the wrist that feels thoroughly modern and classic.

Swiss horology with soul 

Premium Swiss quartz movement powers this Essence White timepiece, and it is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring its pristine face remains unscathed. The stunning caseback features the brand’s logo, a subtle nod to its history as the keeper of the Swiss Railways clock.

Mondaine delivers a timepiece with flawless proportions 

With the Essence White collection, Mondaine has created a horological icon in the making. For the discerning individual who understands that true luxury centers perfect proportions, exceptional craftsmanship, and the confidence of simplicity, Mondaine’s quiet brilliance shines through.

The color dates back to Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868), when Tokyo was still known as Edo, and it’s been treated as a signature regional shade ever since.

Seiko’s new watch is a tiny tribute to a tinier Honda scooter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The folks at Seiko have a fun one on their hands: the 5 Sports Field x Honda MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition, a 36.4mm field watch built entirely around Honda’s cult “trunk bike.”

It’s a tribute to a weird Japanese cult scooter (more on that later), and the color scheme goes hard to match. A bright yellow dial cribs from the scooter’s original color, with a black band running across the center carrying the Honda logo — a nod to the MOTOCOMPO’s protective side bars.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
