August Man SG Magazine - Issue 180

In this issue

In this MVMT special edition, Augustman was honoured to have seen how premier watchmaking brands in the world made their emblematic timepieces; We were invited to Jaeger LeCoultre’s Le Sentier facility and Montblanc’s Villeret manufacture. We also got to speak to some of the leaders guiding some of the hottest brands today - Antoine Pin who heads Bulgari Watches, CEO Guido Terreni at Parmigiani who just launched a world premiere in the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante and Christian Selmoni at Vacheron Constantin, the first brand in the industry to have two of the hottest integrated bracket watches in the segment.

Now more than ever, timepieces have become essential accessories for the budding fashionista as Idris Elba donning the Gucci 25H with the brightest colours of the season. Speaking of fashion, you will discover that cover star Louis Vuitton has elevated simple time indication into a high art - Spinning cubes instead of hands, in an exclusive interview, Head Watchmaker Michel Navas speaks to Augustman about the creation of a new icon, new complication and the future of the one of the world’s most distinctive shapes.
