Ulysse Nardin Aquires Dial Enameler Donz�� Cadrans
After many years at the helm of Donz�� Cadrans, Francine and Michel Vermot have decided to retire, selling their 100 percent stake to Ulysse Nardin. UN says this move will secure the long-term future of the business and its know-how, placing it in the hands of the company which renewed interest in the art of enameling in the eighties and has played a major role in the growth of Donz�� Cadrans.Perhaps no other luxury watch brand creates as many varied enamel dials as Ulysse Nardin. Mention enamel dials, and many collectors will think first of San Marco Chronometers with deep blue dials, or with dials honoring great sailing ships.Ulysse Nardin Chief Executive Officer Patrik Hoffmann noted: “The acquisition of Donz�� Cadrans maintains our strategy of continuity and vertical production, while reflecting our heritage and tradition of our Manufacture.”The acquisition will provide Ulysse Nardin with additional cloisonn�� and grand-feu enamel expertise.

Tsovet SVT-CN38 Review
Tsovet was the first brand whose products we reviewed just over 3 years ago (yikes!). A fitting start for w&w, as it was a well styled and affordable piece. 3 years later, we've learned an awful lot about watches, brands, and what qualities to look for in an affordable piece. Similarly, Tsovet has continued to grow, gaining popularity and refining their look. It's fitting now that we get to revisit the brand and take a look at one of their most intriguing and possibly surprising watches to date, the SVT-CN38.Prior to this design, if you had asked me for a super quick description of Tsovet's watches, I would have said, big, bold, military styled watches with a nod to Russian and Submarine aesthetics. The SVT-CN38 veers strongly from that description with a distinctly 30's/40's, Bauhaus design in a modest 38mm case. There is still something stern and severe, perhaps constructivist, about it, which speaks to the brands origins, but the design is clearly rooted in something more German

Should I or should I not.....
