paisteCollaborations in the watch world are commonplace.  Whether a watch brand creates a limited edition for a new sponsorship, brand ambassador, or just to try a new design, these editions are introduced often.  You can typically expect different coloring and some branding on the dial, but nothing too dramatic.

As Corum continues to reintroduce its classic Bubble to the market, their latest collaboration goes above and beyond to embody this partnership.  Paiste symbols have been one of the most well known symbol manufacturers over the last 40 years.  In this latest Corum Bubble, Paiste limited edition of 350 pieces, there is no mistaking which limited edition this is.  Corum has taken its black DLC 47mm Bubble case and inserted one of the coolest dials I have seen in some time; a symbol.  The dial made of bronze is actually a miniature symobol; Paiste branding and all.  Constrasting with the hammered brass are blackened brass hands for the easy telling of time.  Beneath the symbol dial lies a Corum self-winding movementt with 42 hours of power reserve.  Completing the look is a black calf strap and black dlc buckle.

Musicians are known for having a passion for watches.  Purchasing watches on the road to commemorate shows or tours is a common story told by the watch collecting musician.  Here, Corum has created its own musical timepiece for collectors.  This unique collaboration has spawned an equally unique timepiece.  If you are a die hard classic rock and watch enthusiast, be sure to locate your local Corum dealer to secure one of the 350 pieces to be produced.

Celebrate exploration and discovery with a limited edition Pilot from Shackleton
Shackleton's most popular jacket gets a one-of-a-kind run
Shackleton Limit Edition Pilot Jacket

Today's definition of success is usually defined by what you can acquire. You get the lovely house, you get the luxurious car, and you pay for it all with a cushy corner office job. At the end of the day, it seems that success is primarily defined by how much comfort you can build around yourself. But Ernest Shackleton defined success as shedding all remnants of comfort and embracing the unknown on a quest for knowledge and discovery. His dedication to exploration resulted in much of what we know about Antarctica today. Eventually, it led to the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, solidifying the continent as a scientific preserve and a place of peace. December 1st is a day to celebrate the treaty, and one brand looks to celebrate it in a colossal way. The Shackleton Limited Edition Pilot from a brand inspired by the explorer's life releases just in time for the holiday.
Very limited edition for a one-of-a-kind explorer

Shackleton's Pilot Jacket is one of their best sellers, but this limited edition version comes in a polar white instead of their usual black and sand. Designed in the London headquarters and tested by pilots in Antarctica, there is a reason it is a bestseller. The brand's ability to create technical garments that are fit for exploration and combine them with versatile pieces you can still wear daily in rough weather makes this jacket worth the investment. There will only be ten of these jackets in the limited-edition run, making them almost as rare as Ernest Shackleton himself. Whether you are able to get your hands on this jacket or not, you should absolutely take the inspiration and live courageously anyway.
