Raymond Weil Unveils Special Edition Nabucco Inspired by Gibson Guitars
Earlier this year, Swiss watch manufacturer Raymond Weil and Gibson Brands, an American manufacturer of guitars and other instruments, announced their plans to work together to create a special Nabucco timepiece, specifically inspired by the famous self-tuning Gibson SG Standard guitar.

Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman Watch
The memorable Romain Jerome Spacecraft has a new family member and it's inspired by the caped crusader from Gotham City. The Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman is an edgy update on the original model that split opinion with its bizarre shape and novel time indication system.
