CDLP launched a design collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist Jwan Yosef (Syrian-born, Swedish-patriated), presenting a limited-edition capsule of elevated painter’s essentials, on April 19, 2023.
An archetype concept emerged during a conversation between the artist and CDLP artistic director Christian Larson. Considering CDLP’s position as a design house of luxury essentials, Christian asked Jwan “what is your essential?” to which Jwan replied “My uniform when I work—I wear it daily”. Expanding essentialism beyond products alone and into elevating everyday rituals—as CDLP has achieved in its revitalization of men’s underwear—was the foundation for this project.
The Coverall is crafted in a woven twill blend of TENCEL™ Lyocell and linen, a new fiber blend. This project presented an opportunity to not only push creative concepts, but also fiber development and production.
Made at Malmö Industries, this is the first CDLP product made locally in Sweden. Founded by Warsame Jama in 2020, Malmö Industries is an atelier/micro-manufacturer specializing in small-scale collections. The nimble, adaptable, and creatively resourceful practice of local production minimizes overall footprint and transportation, boosts local economy and textile industry, while equitable working conditions benefit a primarily immigrant population in Sweden.
Inspired by the hues of the artist’s work, product labeling is thick, opaque silk screen printed in a muted pastel. Custom hang tags are made in stock craft paper. Each coverall is presented in a custom debossed box made of recycled craft paper, also made in Sweden.
The campaign is lensed by artistic director and co-founder Christian Larson at Jwan’s Los Angeles studio.
Bonjour et hello to the link new Tank Française. Tony Traina walks through all of the tweaks link and changes Cartier made to this much-loved Tank with is link typical rigor and humor. And if you finish reading this Intro and think, 'wow I wish I knew more about Tony Traina's thoughts on Cartier' head over to this lovely Buying, Selling, & Collecting.
The elongated tonneau-shaped link cases respectively host the CRMA2 and CRMA1 calibers. These selfwinding, skeletonized in-house movements accurately animate the gracious ballet link of the hour and link minute hands. Both deliver a power reserve of around 50 hours.
If you want to stick closely to the Farer's price point, there are two options – one from Tissot, and one from another British brand called Christopher Ward. At $1,650, the Tissot Heritage Navigator link 160th Anniversary COSC is an entirely cool and vintage-inspired world timer that offers strong value in a legacy design. That said, it is 43mm wide, lacks any sort of link a date display, and offers only 30 meters of water resistance (this versus the Farer’s link 100 meters).
Right from the start, this 40mm Ulysse Nardin link rattrapante chronograph has an unmistakable character via its stepped lug design and multi-textured surfaces. And what a beauty that dial is! It has a lovely guilloché-inspired central portion with four (!) sub-dials and is surrounded by a tachymeter scale. Instead of keeping the primary hour link and minute display in the center of the watch's dial, Ulysse Nardin moved them to a three o'clock sub-dial, link allowing the rattrapante to take center stage.
Some years later, link I pretended to be a Breguet link fan-boy in imitation of link my older brother. After that phase, I fell in love with beefy lugs and the patinated dual-tone vintage Omega Seamasters you can find in Parisian flea markets. So I guess I'm a bit complicated, too.
