The new G-Shock Coexist Collection utilizes Truecotton

In the realm of watches, the significance of materials should never be underestimated. Whether navigating a decision between stainless steel or a strap crafted from leather, the choice of materials plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall aesthetic and user experience. In recent times, there has been a notable surge in the use of sustainable materials, and amidst this eco-conscious wave, there exists a lesser-known recycled band named Truecotton, brought to life by Toyoshima & Co.

Truecotton takes a unique approach by extracting dyes naturally found in food and plants, salvaging them from the brink of disposal, and utilizing them to imbue organic cotton with vibrant hues. In a move that aligns with this eco-friendly ethos, G-SHOCK has embraced Truecotton for its latest release, incorporating it into a pair of its 2100 models.

In a world where conscious consumer choices are increasingly valued, the utilization of Truecotton by G-SHOCK sets a refreshing precedent. This innovative approach not only showcases the brand’s adaptability to emerging trends but also emphasizes the importance of sustainable materials in the evolution of luxury watches.

Sustainable style

G-SHOCK has long been synonymous with durability and innovation, and the Coexist Collection is no exception. The GA-B2100CT-1A5 and GA-B2100CT-5A watches feature a 48.5 × 45.4 × 11.9 mm case size, weighing in at a mere 57 g. The use of carbon and bio-based resin for the case and bezel not only ensures shock resistance but also reflects G-SHOCK’s commitment to sustainable materials.

Construction: The Carbon Core Guard structure enhances the shock resistance of these G-SHOCK watches, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of daily wear. With 200-meter water resistance, these watches are not just stylish; they are built to endure.

Power supply and battery life: Embracing solar-powered technology, the Coexist Collection features Tough Solar functionality, harnessing the power of the sun to keep your watch ticking. This not only reduces the need for battery replacements but aligns with G-SHOCK’s commitment to sustainable practices.

Glass: Mineral Glass protects the watch face, providing clarity and scratch resistance. The Neobrite feature ensures visibility in low-light conditions, an essential element for the modern man on the move.

Is Rolex rewriting the rules of the luxury watch game?
What the closure of key Rolex hubs means for watch owners
Rolex Land Dweller set

In a strategic move that could reshape the luxury watch industry, Rolex is reportedly taking decisive action to consolidate its control over distribution and after-sales service. According to Jing Daily, the brand is reportedly shuttering third-party service centers, particularly in key markets like China, in a likely bid to strengthen its grip on every aspect of its timepieces' life cycle. This bold decision comes at a pivotal moment, as pre-owned Rolex prices soften after years of explosive growth—raising questions about the future of secondary market dynamics.

The closure of independent service hubs would suggest more than just a logistical shift—it would indicate an intent to rewrite the rules of luxury watch ownership. A pivot toward in-house servicing would mean Rolex would have direct influence on pricing, authenticity, and even the resale value of its watches. This realignment could have far-reaching consequences, from squeezing out grey market dealers to reshaping how collectors buy, sell, and maintain their prized timepieces.

Vacheron Constantin introduces first minute repeater to overseas collection
Three complications, one sports watch: vacheron's new overseas breaks new ground
Vacheron Constantin Minute repeater

Vacheron Constantin presented the Overseas Grand Complication Openface. This is the first time a minute repeater has been used in the Overseas collection, which is known as a sporty line. The watch combines three major complications in a water-resistant titanium case.
Inside the new model is the manufacture's Calibre 2755 QP, a thin movement measuring 7.9mm. It features a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, and a power reserve indicator. This level of complexity is not often seen in luxury sports watches, as grand complications have usually been reserved for more formal watch lines.
The name "Openface" comes from the watch’s sapphire crystal dial, which makes the complex mechanism underneath visible. This clear design shows off the beauty of the movement. Rhodium-plated wheels and NAC-treated parts add a modern contrast that fits with the Overseas collection’s style.
Instead of sticking to traditional grand complication designs, Vacheron Constantin has put this watch in titanium. This material is chosen for its light weight and its ability to transmit sound well for the minute repeater. The case has new shapes that keep the Overseas profile while housing the complex movement.
As is usual for the Overseas collection, the watch comes with a titanium bracelet, keeping both comfort and practicality. Despite the complex mechanisms inside, the watch remains water-resistant difficult achievement for a minute repeater.
The Overseas Grand Complication Openface represents a change for Vacheron Constantin’s sports luxury line. The Geneva-based manufacture brings its top watchmaking expertise to the Overseas collection, continuing to blur the lines between high complications and everyday wearability.
Full specifications and pricing have not yet been released. This new reference will sit at the top of the Overseas collection and will be among the most technically advanced sports watches offered by any manufacturer.
