馬克祖克柏才剛入坑腕錶收藏一年,千萬元限量 Ulysse Nardin 紅寶石腕錶就已成日常配件! | GQ Taiwan

自從 2024 年 7 月起,馬克祖克柏(Mark Zuckerberg)正式以「鐘錶收藏家」的新身份亮相。他從「完全沒在玩錶」到直接躍升「高端手工製錶」行列,入坑速度之快,堪稱近代鐘錶圈的傳奇級別。 近期他上 a16z Podcast 時,手上又多了一支「Ulysse Nardin Royal Sapphire Ruby」。雖然在過去一年間,他佩戴過的錶從功能複雜的 Patek Philippe 到高價位的 F.P. Journe 都有,但這次選擇如此典雅的錶款算是踏出了他的舒適圈,正式邁入深度錶迷的領域。畢竟這家位於勒洛克勒的品牌,雖然長期在材質與設計上一直勇於創新,但始終沒有像其他品牌一樣打進主流文化。不過也許祖克柏這一戴,會讓大眾開始有不同的看法也說不定。 Ulysse Nardin 長期以來是被嚴重低估的品牌。創立於 1846 年,以為世界各國海軍打造航海天文鐘聞名。近幾十年來,又以前衛的設計開創新局面。其中著名錶款「Freak」就以矽材質零件、甚至取消傳統的面盤與指針,替後續更多突破框架、極具創意性質的高端作品打開大門。 不過,Freak 絕不是 Ulysse Nardin 唯一值得被注意的作品。祖克柏這次佩戴的「Royal Sapphire Ruby」是 2010 年限量推出的藍寶石腕錶,特色是幾乎完全透明的結構,搭配紅色尖晶石的強烈視覺點綴。整支錶從一塊實驗室培育的藍寶石削切而成,再透過鑽石切割與 CNC 加工製作成 44 mm 的錶殼,即使內部結構複雜,厚度仍控制在相對纖薄的 12 mm。 Source link

Russia’s economic woes won’t stop Putin

Predictions that the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse are nothing new. Those forecasts have circulated widely since 2022, when the United States and Europe first imposed unprecedented sanctions on Moscow as punishment for invading Ukraine. But this wishful thinking has received a boost in recent weeks, in the wake of new reporting suggesting that the country’s oil exports are…
