Sanrio X Casio - Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Baby G

Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday turns into a global fanfare with an impressively large collection of collaborative projects, items and events held around the world. Of course, as retailers hop on the celebration wagon, it was only a matter of time before Paris’ colette also joins in.
Other than a shop-in-shop dedicated to Hello Kitty products from names such as Asics, Dr. Romanelli and Mimoco, Casio’s Baby G line has also geared up with Sanrio to create a commemorative kitty Baby G.

The girl version of one of the world’s favorite tougher-than-all watch gets a kawaii makeover with Hello Kitty ribbons strewn along the watch strap and a type logo running down strap as well.


Check out both the black and pink versions that are now available for order online at colette.

On a related note, colette’s dedicated Hello Kitty space has started running today and will be stationed to party all the way through Dec 5.

Bell & Ross BR Minuteur Tourbillon Watch


The Tourbillon, the most noble of complications dressed in gold, compensates the differences in precision due to the earth’s pull. Priority was given to reading the hour functions in this luxurious model. An independent small second counter and a three-day power reserve complete the time information.
The timer on the left of the dial is a second, dual scale timepiece (sixty and ten divisions) that measures time in hours and minuted from a chosen moment. This stand-alone timer is fitted with a Flyback, a system for resetting to zero and quickly relaunching the measurement.
The Flyback optimizes the precision and rapidity in measuring several successive times.

Only 30 pieces were created in this new design with further information available through the official Bell & Ross website.

Knot 0hundred Timepiece



The name and the design focus of the Knot 0hundred Timepiece is quite fitting, given its designers’ history in the auto industry– it looks like it was born in a high end motor studio. The Knot design duo of Nicholas DiLoreto and Kort Neumann fashioned this watch as a representation of “the strong relation of shape in tandem with function”, which sounds like a pretty version of the “form follows function” cliche. However, their work here is truly stunning, and the shape of this watch is obviously a response to its functional needs.



The display is a rotary series of numbers with hours in single integers and minutes in five minute intervals. These rotary pieces spin in a jump hour fashion, showing the time below a static line. On the right side is a large knob which controls day and date settings, with another top side knob for added control.
