SIHH 2011: JeanRichard Highlands Sand

JeanRichard (sister-brand to Girard-Perregaux) has been a positive surprise to me this year, having released a small number of exceptional-looking new models for 2011. While JeanRichards dressier watches are perhaps the star of the show for the brand, this rugged looking Highlands Sand watch definitely has some appeal to it. Sand/desert themed/colored watches are not common, and for this reason I actually find this particular model to be a refreshing take on the sport watch. What do you think?

JeanRichard Highlands Sand

44.5mm steel case, bidirectional rotating bezel, ecru mat dial with black luminous hands, automatic mechanical manufacture movement (JR 1000),

Delivered with two straps: khaki fabric and brown calfskin with steel folding buckles

    Taste and Soul: Macallan's 20 yr old scotch and Albert Watson's art

    Meghu22: Famed Scottish photographer Albert Watson features in the latest Macallans Masters of Photography series, wherein the Scottish whiskey makers are launching a limited run of 200 bottles ($1,000) that come with Watsons specially commissioned prints. Recently unveiled at Milk Studios in New York, the photos are a compendium of Watsons 12-day journey following Macallans oak casks from the forests of Spain to the Highlands of Scotland. An interesting collaboration to say the least, Watsons prints perfectly compliment the smooth and consistent taste of Macallan scotch. Via: Acquire / Coolmarriedguy
