News just dropped as we were recording our next podcast episode that fashion and luxury icon Karl Lagerfeld has sadly passed away at the age of 85.
Know the world over for the unmistakable design influences that he contributed to fashion houses such as Chanel over the past 5 decades, he leaves behind a legacy that has inspired many.
Although not known in the luxury watch space, he did lend his name to a range of quartz pieces mainly aimed at a female audience but sporting designs that appealed to many tastes.
RIP.

Got into the horological hobby only a few short years ago; but got, as us Scots like to say, “baw deep” pretty quickly. Thanks to buying a lemon of a Rolex he spent hours researching why his watch wasn’t working and along the way gained an interest in what makes them tick. He now runs the Scottish Watches website and keeps cohort Rick in check on the twice weekly Scottish Watches podcast.
