Like any other accessory, watches are a blank canvas for creativity. They should never be confined to a simple circle on a strap, as they’re capable of being so much more.
Case in point: Anoma and G-SHOCK’s recent drops, which are sensational creations that add flair to your looks, and ensure that everybody’s watching your watch.
Anoma A1 Slate
The A1 is a fascinating piece with a rounded triangular case that marked the launch of the independent watch brand Anoma.
After the first series was successfully launched and delivered, Anoma now introduces the A1 Slate, which has a black lacquered dial and is the next model in that series.
“Our goal was to create a design that is pure and understated, with a timeless elegance.
“In a world of endless colour variations, we found power in returning to black – a colour that embodies both bold presence and ultimate discretion.” — Matteo Violet Vianello, Anoma’s founder and GPHG academy member.
The watch face can change from a smooth glossy black to a subtle two-tone appearance thanks to the dial’s intriguing vertically-brushed finish and black lacquered triangular patterns.
The timepiece has the same sculptural form as the original Anoma A1 model, which was influenced by a 1950s coffee table designed by Charlotte Perriand.
It also has a 39mm stainless steel case that wears surprisingly slim on the wrist because of its curved, lug-less design.
And above all, it is aesthetically stunning!
With only 300 units available at a time, with each available for £1,800 (~RM10,471), the A1 Slate is a must-have piece that exudes elegance and confidence with every tick. You can get your own at Anoma’s official website.
G-SHOCK GA-V01
After a long wait, G-SHOCK has finally released its latest model for us to revel in – the GA-V01, which sports a unique Y3K aesthetic.
The brand claims that the new design reflects the “Open V World” theme, a futuristic idea that encourages unrestricted individuality.
The new model boasts a bold case shape with raised hour markers clamped onto a curved spherical glass display that is impact-absorbent and makes a bold and impactful first impression.
An equally bold and individualistic dial design, which comes in a butterfly-like shape, further elaborates the futuristic mood.
Large hands, including a magnetic minute hand that lessens impact, adorn the watch face.
The watch has a matching rubber strap and an integrated bezel.
Ranging in price from RMB990 – RMB1,090 (~RM596 – ~RM657), the GA-V01 is available via G-SHOCK China in four distinct colourways: Silver, Neon Green, Purple and Black.
