CoG chatting with brand experts

The first night was a limited engagement for VIPs that included cocktails, dinner, and a private showcase of all the brands.  VIPs were welcomed by luminaries, executives, and experts including Roger Ruegger (WatchTime Editor-in-Chief), company CEOs, Watch Anish (social influencer), and leading collector Jeff Kingston.  There is an indescribable aura when you're able to speak one-on-one with the brand creator or the industry leaders that are able to move the watch landscape with a simple mention or whisper.

Not just a watch, but a lifestyle--Shore Projects watches embodies what it means to live life to its fullest and enjoying the open sea.  Whether it be out at sea or lounging on a beach, Shore Projects watches will be there every step of the way as you explore the world.

All the watches are influenced by vintage designs, combined with strong modern day build quality. Using precision manufacturing processes, this allows the watches to withstand the demands of everyday living. They are made with stainless steel cases and have crystal sapphire glass. The leather on the straps is of the finest quality sourced from Italy and all are waterproofed to 100m which means they are designed for swimming in the sea.

One of the most exciting features of the watches is the innovative strap mechanism that makes it easy to swap straps on a daily basis, so the look of the watch can change in just a few seconds. The idea is to create as many colours, styles and patterns as possible so that you never get bored wearing the same strap over and over again.
