    Hannah Rasekh is no stranger to sustainability. The British-Palestinian, London-based creative communications consultant has long been a lover of all things circular, way before being conscious became cool. “Sustainabitly isn’t just a responsibility; it is an opportunity to honour craftsmanship and a lasting relationship with the resources around us.

    坦白說,我平常不戴手錶。 所以走進全球最具聲望的鐘錶盛會——2025年日內瓦「鐘錶與奇蹟」展(Watches and Wonders Geneva),感覺有點像是不請自來參加一場既優雅又守時的派對。今年共有60家品牌參展,比去年多出6家,規模創下歷史新高。4月1日到5日的展期間,時間彷彿不再只是流動,而是在每個展位間脈動跳躍——藏家、品牌與愛好者穿梭其中,一手拿著手機自拍,另一手把玩著藍寶石水晶陀飛輪。這裡既華麗又高端,堪稱瑞士製錶的巔峰,還多了一絲驚喜。 展會中有品牌大張旗鼓慶祝週年紀念,有經典復刻、有大膽色彩、有奢華材質與技術炫技——這些都是高級製錶圈的語言。但對於像我這樣初來乍到的人而言,最讓我心動的,卻是那一絲柔軟而難以言喻的詩意與靈魂:那藏在鐘錶表面之下,關於美、時間與喜悅的短暫閃光。從品牌敘事到它們喚起的情感,每一枚腕錶都留下了難以磨滅的印象。 以下是我心頭最難忘的幾款腕錶,也許也會吸引你的目光。說不定我真的會為此入坑,買下人生第一只手錶。 出場品牌列表,點擊快轉該品牌: 卡地亞 Cartier 愛馬仕 Hermes 寶格麗 Bvlgari 香奈兒 Chanel 伯爵...

It’s less about getting dressed, more about armouring up. Because no matter how many things are falling apart (emails, plans, me), a good blazer always holds it together.

    Confession: I don’t wear a watch. So stepping into the world’s most prestigious horology fair–Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025–felt a bit like crashing a very elegant, very punctual party. With 60 maisons showing, six more than last year, this edition marks the fair’s most ambitious yet.
