Hublot Sponsors The Exosuit Diving Suit Wearable Submarine
Swiss Hublot has its hands in a lot of things, ranging from sponsorships to limited edition watches that seem to celebrate other limited editions. We can't cover them all, but once in a while there is an image or story that we just have to share. It looks like Hublot is sponsoring an Exosuit for the European team that is continuing to dive and explore the region around where the Antikythera device was found. UPDATE: Hublot has (of course) released a limited edition watch called Hublot Oceanographic ref. EXO4000 731.QX.EXO14.If you recall, back in 2011 Hublot's genius designer Mathias Buttet recreated the ancient Greek calendar device into a wrist watch.

Apparently, exploration work continues on the ship wreck wher

Seiko Power Design Project 2008 Results: Tokyo Looking Watches

Utilizing a different theme each year, 2008 had 12 watches each named after a district or neighborhood in Tokyo. This is one of the very cool things that Seiko does, and I think that more watch companies should get involved in working with local artists to design watches that come from different points of view. The first Seiko Power Design Project was in 2002, and it has been occurring annually since. I am not sure exactly how the project is done, but the "winners" actually get their watches made. This means that as an artist, you can design a watch and actually have it be produced (if you are lucky), something that most people will never experience as watch production is no easy feat.The goal of the project is not all altruistic of course. Seiko is always on the lookout for new watch designs that will have market appeal. In the past, watches produced from the Power Design project have bee

While the great Gerald Genta is best known for his work in the wristwatch space �C designing not only Audemars Piguet's landmark model �C the Royal Oak �C but also Patek Philippe's Nautilus, and IWC's Ingenieur SL and more, Genta himself longed for a much larger career in product design. At times, he battled his own own success in watches �C a success that many would dream of �C when he struck out to build a name in other verticals. And today, we've found two examples of such an an item �C Japanese-made, Genta-designed eyeglasses, both brand new with boxes and papers, for sale. 1 OF 3 These Japanese-made, Genta-designed frames feature much of the same design language as the Royal Oak and Nautilus. One of Genta's least well known forays into product design was that of a highly limited run of eyeglasses made in Japan during the late '70s and early 1980s. They were produced under the Gerald Genta name, and feature much of the same design language as found in his early and mos
