Certina DS
This week, our editorial director Sophie Furley shared her latest watch discovery – the Certina DS+ concept – that comes in a kit format so that watch lovers can have several watches in one. Each kit (and there are three different ones to choose from) contains a watch head, bezels, straps, and bracelets for a variety of combinations and styles that you can assemble yourself without the use of any tools. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy watchmaking in a playful way. Each owner can also buy other components for even more possibilities.
