SMART TRIP WITH SKAGEN FALSTER SMARTWATCH

Anson Low No Comments

skagenSmartwatch has been in around for quite awhile and I have always wanted to experience one myself but I haven’t came across a design that I am interested in until recently when SKAGEN introduced me to their new collection of SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch. I must admit that I am not a gadget enthusiast but I do love watches. Thus, the fact that SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch combines technology with stylish design fascinates me and I made a trip to see how this new stylish smartwatch becomes my new helpful assistant.

skagenThe very first perk that I realized is that I can receive notifications/messages from my WhatsApp and emails. I can prioritise my important messages while enjoying my brunch before my meetings. So don’t blame me if I don’t reply all of the messages when I have a busy day ahead! The bonus is that I can see the messages and the senders wouldn’t know that I’ve read them! 😛 Yes, it is also a touchscreen smartwatch!

skagenI love the minimal design of this smartwatch, its simplicity goes well with any of my outfit. This collection comes with interchangeable leather straps or mesh straps. I never wanted a smartwatch that would make me look geeky and this is definitely not one of those!

skagenI do use a fitness tracker when I hit the gym (especially when I’m doing the cardio exercises) but I never wore it casually because they don’t really look the part with my outfits or for my meetings. But now I can finally track my steps/calories burnt for the day while keeping my outfit on point. I’m not sorry to be a perfectionist! It helps my performance when I dress well, therefore every small detail is vital for me. This intelligent device would definitely make me fitter over time as I can set my own goal for the daily steps – no more excuse for not walking my doggie!

skagenI love a power nap on a busy day, or whenever I get the chance. I always use my phone to set the alarm but the phone has always been a distraction (even during my sleep time in the night) as I have the tendency to wake up and check my phone apps. Now this is a handy little tool to wake me up from my nap with its vibrating function.

skagenThere are other features of the SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch such as the world clock with different time-zones and music control. I love the weather forecast display where I can check the weather/temperature before I head out. I’m quite a lazy person when it comes to checking weather before I go out and I always regret for not doing so as I wouldn’t take my umbrella out on a rainy day! It’s much more convenient to have it on a default display with the smartwatch. In addition, I can also personalize the watch face with my choice of dial colour or font colour according to my mood/outfit! It is actually very fun and refreshing to see it happening with a single watch.

BICESTER VILLAGE L’ATELIER – LESS IS MORE

Anson Low No Comments

L’Atelier Bicester Village is a new watch and jewellery boutique in Bicester Village that offers amazing selections of luxury and finest brands such as Theo Fennell, Baume & Mercier, Georg Jensen, Corum, Rotary, Tolkowsky, Dreyfuss, LeVian, Leo Diamond, Eterna and many more.

There are so many luxury brands that I love from L’Atelier, but I always shop smart and prioritize my need (or want) first. Therefore I have picked my favourite brand, Georg Jensen from the wide range of choices – it was a tough choice when there are so many beautifully crafted timepieces and jewellery. Most importantly, all of these timepieces are being sold at the VILLAGE PRICE! This is how I managed to PAY LESS and GET MORE in value! Carry on reading to find out the huge price difference cause you don’t want to miss that!

The minimalism of Georg Jensen timepieces is great for casual and smart attire. I have chosen the Georg Jensen Koppel 41mm with Automatic movement. It has a date indicator and it is Swiss Made, with international warranty that is perfect for anyone who visits from other countries! This would make a nice gift too without a doubt. The recommended retail price for this exact timepiece is £1440 in comparison with the village price at L’Atelier of £720! That is a generous discount of 50%. Yes, now you can hold your jaw together. 

The interior of L’Atelier is simple and opulent. There’s a luxurious and exclusive lounging area for the customers to get some inspiration and also trying out their chosen jewellery/watches.

The luxury watch brands includes Rotary, Baume Mercier, Corum, Georg Jensen, Dreyfuss & Co, Eterna, Raymond Weil, and Maurice Lacroix. I had my eyes on several watches from Baume Mercier and Maurice Lacroix too, hence I probably will be visiting again to grab another timepiece from them! It’s simply too difficult to resist when all of these brands offer such a great discount up to 60%! The saving itself is enough for me to buy another luxury watch to add into my collection.

I am obsessed with the thin black and blue hands of this Georg Jensen Koppel 41mm watch, which I think it’s also suitable for women due to its unisex aesthetic. The transparent case back displays the beauty of the Swiss automatic movement with 25 Jewels. The convex, double curve Sapphire crystal dial face gives perfect clarity of the appearance in any dimension.

The entire luxury shopping experience was such a joy especially they have an amazing team that is very friendly, helpful, and most importantly – knowledgeable. I can’t wait to gift the presents to my family on their birthdays.

Please visit L’Atelier Bicester Village for more discounted luxury watches.

GENTLEMAN AT A FARM

Anson Low No Comments

What do you wear at a farm? Boots? Wellies? A hat? Why not a pair of white sneakers and suit?! We can always go dapper at farm! 🙂

jacobholston2

Jacob Holston’s suit played the perfect role for this when I went to check my crops (not really my crops and it’s winter now in UK!). The suit is made of 100% Italian fine wool and very light material. Love the effortless design and it’s ideal for casual/business meeting, low profile and yet presentable.

Pasotti’s luxury umbrella keeps you dry and also makes your minimal outfit look opulent!

THE MONOCHROME

Anson Low No Comments

I’m not a monochrome blogger, but I am fell in love with the monochrome look during this winter, maybe it’s the dull weather in UK?

cos2blog

The whole look is basically from COS, which is a fashion brand for women and men who want modern, functional, considered design. I would say they do have the ‘monochrome’ aesthetic, not entirely, but generally they do have black and white clothing and accessories.

paulhewittwinter cosshoesblog

Having said that,  their clothing details are the elements that you need paying attention to. The fabrics that they used have nice texture and interesting visual effects too. The Wool Melange Coat is just timeless to me for the modern men. And your style can’t go wrong with a pair of white leather sneakers nowadays! Oh yes, you have caught me! My look may not be so monochrome with a touch of Paul Hewitt’s Signature Line watch.

Hope you like the new theme for my website too! More categories will be coming soon including interior design! 🙂

THE VISIONIST X ABOUT VINTAGE

Anson Low No Comments

About Vintage is a timeless and elegant brand for all the true gentlemen. As a gentleman myself, I love to dress up confidently and effortlessly.

aboutvintage1a

Even though their ‘Scandinavian Fit‘ shirt is tailored to fit Scandinavian, but I find their slim fit shirt collection is very well designed for any type of gentlemen.

aboutvintage4a

The most amazing product that caught my attention was their very first collection of watch. This LIMITED EDITION timepiece is one of the 100 individually numbered pieces. I am lucky enough to be one of the owners for this carefully designed chronograph watch from Copenhagen.

aboutvintage3a aboutvintage2

The Concinnus, Watch by About Vintage is neat, timeless and very elegant. For me, a watch that a man wears reflects their identify. And this watch definitely reflects the class and taste of a true gentleman.

aboutvintageinsta2a

The rose gold plated case is a perfect match with the brown leather strap, with a touch of the royal blue chronograph hand. The watch also comes with a custom made box in beautiful walnut wood.
