Watchlords

Earlier this year Andersen Genève introduced a new collection called ‘Art & Culture’ and with it, a limited edition (twelve pieces) launch model called ‘Vita Vinum’ (‘life wine’ in Latin). One of the six finalists in the GPHG 2019 ‘Artistic Crafts’ category, I had the opportunity to see it during the awards’ travelling exhibition.

The Vita Vinum is a tribute to the process of wine making, albeit in a more historical traditional form than modern viticulture/ oenology/ winemaking. This is done on a charming hand-painted disc (that completes one full rotation every 365 days) that depicts twelve numbered scenes (one for each month) of a Swiss winemaker’s work.

This wartche smacks of terroirism.

Apparently the designer downed about a gallon of Boone's Farm before coming up with the idea.

Did you ever drink any of that shit? I had some in high school and felt like somebody had driven a railroad spike into my skull the next morning.

That and Annie Green Springs. That shit was ,like, .89 cents and perfect for a perpetually broke college kid.

rot gut hooch, MD 20/20

I'd say the designer of this wartche likely had too much of this...


...or this...


...or this:


Still, knows life not, he who hasn't woken up with a monstrous headache on New Year's Day, surrounded by empty bottles of this Russian invention:

Though I'm pretty sure the guy who made this wartche won't exactly storm the nearest gas station to celebrate the release of said wartche with it.

Fat Bastard is actually not a bad wine.

I cringe when I see things like Choco Wine, White Zinfandel, or Moscato.

And there's also this that I've avoided:

Not to mention Boone's Farm, Thunderbird, Wild Irish Rose, Maneschewitz or Mad Dog 20/20.

Gives me a headache like two bottles of Strawberry Hill did as a teen. No way I could wear that watch without cracking a migraine.
