Made from Recycled Ocean Plastics: SEA Watches Differently!

A new watch collection from Anne Klein is cleaning up the ocean, one watch at a time. Anne Klein has teamed up with Oceanworks®, a trailblazing leader in the removal of ocean plastic waste worldwide, to design a sustainable collection created from plastic waste that has been transformed into new recycled materials.

“Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the oceans each year,” says Barbara Weichselbaum, CEO of E. Gluck Corporation, Anne Klein’s long-term watch partner since 1974. “That’s the equivalent of setting five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the world.”

Here are some of the facts:

 • Plastic has been found in over 700 species including 84% of sea turtles and 44% of all seabirds.

 • 90% of plastic sinks once it reaches the oceans.

• Global plastic production exceeds 3 million tons per year and only 10% is recycled.

 • Scientists estimate that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish!

“Our partnership with Oceanworks® represents our commitment to a larger mission, which to us at Anne Klein is of utmost importance,” states Effy Zinkin, Chief Operating Officer at WHP Global, owners of the Anne Klein brand. “Our contribution to keeping plastic out of the ocean resonates with us and our customers. We are committed to expanding the use of recycled ocean plastics to additional Anne Klein products.”

“Waste plastics are intercepted and recycled all around the world, from Alaska and Haiti to Southeast Asia. Our global effort protects sea life, reduces pollution, and minimizes reliance on virgin plastics,” explains Philip Finnance, Oceanworks, “and every product featuring the Oceanworks Guaranteed logo includes reclaimed materials sourced in alignment with the principles of quality, authenticity and transparency.”

The Anne Klein Considered Ocean Plastics Collection is comprised of two key styles: bracelet watches ($125 MSRP) and strap watches ($95 MSRP) in an assortment of colors.

Customers can shop the new Anne Klein Ocean Plastics Collection, as well as Anne Klein apparel, home, fragrance, jewelry, and accessories at AnneKlein.com. Nordstrom.com and Macys.com will also carry the watch collection.

Gotham City by Jacob & Co

Jacob & Co.’s brand-new partnership with DC Comics brings forth a Bat-watch filled with hints that speak to every Bat-fan out there.

Would Bruce Wayne trade his 18K Rose Gold watch for a Black DLC Matte Titanium?

Would you? Well, it’s a tough choice to make but technically since he is Batman, he would have both, one for the day and one for the night.

But given a choice which one would you choose?

Jacob & Co.’s Founder and Creative Director, Jacob Arabo has managed to embody the essence of Batman through a masterpiece Bruce Wayne himself would not be able to resist.

Think of Bruce Wayne and the persona that comes to mind is of a deeply intellectual, introverted, philanthropist. His desire to bring justice to the criminals of Gotham springs from his dark past.

It is thus befitting his billionaire status to flaunt a watch that speaks eloquently about his impenetrability, his sombre yet charming prowess.

Both the models of the Gotham City watch have been fitted with a hyper complicated movement with twin, flying, sequential, triple-axis tourbillons, the watch is true to the hyperbolic nature of the Dark Knight.

He only ever uses the best gear available and said gear always resembles his costume, his colours, his style. Gotham City also has two faces. It’s both matte and luminous, dark and funny, earnest and playful, highly engineered and in the final analysis, toy-like.

Because the last thing Jacob & Co. wants is someone asking, “Why so serious?” with a disturbing, enlarged smile.

The symbolic aspects of Gotham City are everywhere. The shape of the lugs resembles the Bat-suit’s multi-faceted design. The crown is covered with a rubber band shaped like the Batmobile’s tires. The indices are black, pointy, and sharp as a Batarang. The dial is shaped like the Bat emblem. It’s cut into a slab of solid onyx, outlined by a contour made of Neoralithe, coloured in yellow and it glows blue in the dark, a nod to the Bat-signal. Lastly, the pair of triple-axis tourbillons are shaped like the grappling hooks the Batman uses.

Jacob & Co. fitted Gotham City with an extremely advanced, spectacular, and efficient movement.

It’s comprised of 382 components, the, most striking of which may be a bat-bridge visible through the case back, but the most complex being the two tourbillons. Each one of them rotates along three different axes. Both have no upper bridge and are therefore of the flying kind. Isn’t it only fitting for a superhero who leaps in the air, travels in a winged hovering machine and responds to a signal etched on clouds to have a flying attribute?

But that’s not all, the box in which Gotham City comes is enough to turn anyone into Poison Ivy. So if you can and you do not get yourself one of these spectacular dark new age bat-toys the joke’s on you.
