The anOrdain A1: Decorating La Joux-Perret’s G101 Movement

In early 2020, anOrdain approached Glasgow-based artist Rachel Duckhouse to take up a residency.

Why Sellita's Watch Movements Are So Popular

When it comes to movement manufacturers, Sellita is undoubtedly one of the most well-known. The company was founded in 1950, but it is in the last decade or so that it has risen to prominence. This is chiefly because of ETA’s decision to stop supplying movements to third parties outside of the Swatch Group, which created a void in the market that Sellita was only too happy to step up and fill.
