Tudor Black Bay 31/36/39/41
As its name suggests, this collection features watches in 31, 36, 39 and 41 mm case options. With its signature fixed bezel and curved case, the watch is anchored on a five-link bracelet that can be easily adjusted up to 8 mm.
Running on a self-winding movement, the watch is fitted with a non-magnetic silicon balance spring that ensures accuracy and reliability. Once set, the movement keeps the watches ticking with high precision.
Even after you take it off, the movement has enough spare power to keep it going for another 70 hours. Remove it on Friday before unwinding for the weekend, and it'll still be going strong when it's time to go back to work on Monday.

For the newlywed couple, Tudor's latest matching gold and stainless steel timepieces make a striking statement.
At 41mm for him and 36 mm with diamonds for her, they boast a yellow, gold bezel on a steel case, attached with a polished yellow gold crown. Precious metals in polished form are a new feature of the Black Bay line, which were previously finished in satin-brush for a matt effect. Both watches are completed with a yellow gold and steel bracelet.
Price: S$8,530 (41 mm), S$12,760 (36 mm)

Tudor Royal
The sporty chic Tudor Royal is distinguished by its integrated metal bracelet attached to a case with a notched or diamond-set bezel. The watches are available in four sizes (28, 34, 38 and 41 mm) with 13 dial variants, all sporting a sunray motif.
Before the debut of these latest models, the dials were mainly black, silver, champagne or blue. Salmon and brown have since been added to its library of hues.
Smart and understated, the brown dial on the 41 mm steel and yellow gold Tudor Royal is an elegant choice for the groom, with a day and date display on the dial.
Meanwhile, the demure salmon dial on the 28 mm full steel version sits pretty on the bride's wrist. The watch's highlight is its mother-of-pearl dial and diamond-set bezel.
Launched in 1926, the Royal collection was given its name to align with the superior quality of its timepieces. A Royal watch was envisioned to be technically perfect, yet affordable. The watch's case is carved from among the most robust stainless steel in existence, the 316L. It is waterproof to 100 metres, thanks to a screw-down crown and case-back.
The self-winding movement of a Royal timepiece is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute to have met the highest chronometry standards in the watchmaking industry.
The smooth and seamless five-link metal bracelet that comes with the model is satin brushed and highly polished, which speaks of quality design, production and finish.
Price: S$6,000 (41 mm), S$4,450 (28 mm)

The new Tudor Black Bay 54 "Lagoon Blue" is right for the summer
There comes a point in the year, from around June to September, when the heat gets to you. The high summer months, unsurprisingly, inspire a desire for escape. To run away on vacation, to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. There's lots of summer fashion and style accoutrements that come with the season, but one often overlooked area is the wrist. As far as a luxury timepiece goes, what says summer? The Swiss watchmaker Tudor has a very compelling answer in the form of its newly introduced Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue'. Tudor Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' 37mm in stainless steel, $5,990 Courtesy of Tudor This new model is part of the brand's Daring Watches line, a collection in which Tudor indulges in a bit of creative daring. Where most of the brand's lineup is infused with sportiness and a rugged sensibility, its Daring Watches are where the brand takes a more lighthearted spirit. To wit, the new Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' is designed to conjure up images and sensations of lapping waves on a white sand beach. The model itself is based on an original Tudor dive watch from 1954, with its vintage details lovingly updated and maintained, but its sensibility is far from sport. Instead, it's all about a beachside getaway—time off, the hours counted with laissez-faire, days spent leisurely. The lagoon blue dial is sand-textured and plays subtly with the light. Courtesy of Tudor Its most alluring detail, which it takes its name from, is the lagoon blue dial. It's crafted with a sand texture, which plays with the light in a way that reminds one of sunlight shining off water. To complement this texture and shade of azure, its indexes and hands—the hour hand is shaped in Tudor's signature snowflake style—are kept to an understated white palette. There's a similar simplicity on the rest of the watch. The Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' is crafted from stainless steel, with a five-link bracelet and mirror-polished bezel to match. The bezel is key: dive watches like Black Bays tend to feature some forms of chromatic contrast. Keeping the bezel polished and monochrome gives a more cabana-apropos look of relaxed elegance. Courtesy of Tudor So the watch looks great for summer, but the upshot with a brand like Tudor is that it's also crafted for fuss-free living. It's comfortable on the wrist, and comes outfitted with the brand's proprietary 'T-fit' clasp which can be adjusted on the fly for a looser or tighter fit. And if you were tempted to go for a swim, or indeed a snorkel or a dive, the watch—it is inspired by dive models, after all—is assuringly waterproofed to 200m. And even when the vacation's over, it's elegant enough to slide right into your city rotation. It's powered by the brand's Manufacture Calibre MT5400 with a 70-hour power reserve that's dubbed weekend-proof. Meaning there's enough power in it so you can take it off on a Friday evening and pick it back up on Monday with the watch still running, no startup winding needed. Think of it as an endless summer on the wrist, a little slice of sun and sand optimism. Discover the Tudor Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' here.

London museum opens vast ‘on-demand' storehouse to public
A visitor looking at the artefacts exhibited in the newly opened museum V&A East Storehouse in East London on June 12. PHOTO: AFP LONDON – Imagine being able to visit a museum and examine up close thousand-year-old pottery, revel alone in jewellery from centuries past or peer inside a Versace bag. Now, London's V&A has launched a revolutionary new exhibition space, where visitors can choose from some 250,000 objects, order something they want to spend time looking at and have it delivered to a room for a private viewing. Most museums have thousands of precious and historic items hidden away in their stores, which the public never gets to see or enjoy. But the V&A East Storehouse, which opened on May 31 in a specially converted warehouse, has come up with a radical new concept. And it is totally free. Senior curator Georgia Haseldine said: 'Museums should be and are for everybody... the V&A's collection is for everybody. It belongs to everybody, and everyone should be able to have free, equitable and meaningful access to it. 'So, this is a world first. Never has anyone been able to be invited freely, without having to book into the same space as a national collection, on this scale.' One-fifth of the museum's total collection is now available to be viewed and enjoyed in the four-storey building on the former site of the 2012 London Olympic Games. No protective glass British drummer Keith Moon's drum kit is among some 250,000 objects available to the public for viewing. PHOTO: AFP 'It's fantastic, it's so much better than an ordinary museum,' said retired physics teacher Jane Bailey as she toured the floors. 'I'm just really, really impressed by it. We've only just heard about it, but it's phenomenal.' She was transfixed by the sight of the drum kit which belonged to Keith Moon from English rock band The Who, saying it would be great to be able to resuscitate the legendary drummer – who died in 1978 – to play a set for them. Jostling for space side by side on shelves in a massive hangar – which resembles a do-it-yourself commercial warehouse and stretches for more than 30 basketball courts – are everything from ceramics and tapestries to paintings and toys from the Tudor period. There is even the whole 15th-century gilded wooden ceiling from the now-lost Torrijos Palace in Spain; and the Kaufmann Office, a panelled room which is the only complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior outside the United States.

Its huge size means it has rarely been seen since its stage debut. There is no protective glass.

PHOTO: AFP One of the first visitors to the Storehouse was Princess Catherine, a patron of the V&A and keen art lover, who took a tour on June 10. She described the collection as 'eclectic' as she used the 'order an object' system to look at a samples book from renowned 19th-century English textiles designer William Morris, as well as rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument.

Members of staff are on hand paying close attention as visitors don purple gloves and satisfy their curiosity, spending time with the object of their choice. A love letter to objects It is a huge departure from the usual admonishment of 'Don't touch!' found in most museums seeking to protect their objects from damage. Dr Haseldine acknowledged 'we have certainly met with some levels of scepticism and worry'. But she said once the idea was explained properly, including how meaningful it is to start to open up and give collections back to a community, 'people just start to think creatively about how we can do this'. American national Manuel Garza, who lives in London, thought the V&A Storehouse was 'one of the most interesting spaces that just opened up here in London'. One-fifth of the V&A museum's total collection is now available to be viewed at the V&A East Storehouse, which is in the four-storey building on the former site of the 2012 London Olympic Games. PHOTO: AFP Dr Haseldine said 'this building is a love letter to objects'. 'To be able to see around the back of an object, to be able to look inside a dress, to be able to see the bottom of a pot – all these things are how we really learn about our material culture,' she added.

PHOTO: AFP Expert Kate Hill, who teaches cultural history at Lincoln University, said it is unusual for museums to open up their storehouses. 'Most of the time, they offer some 'behind-the-scene' tour, but their objets are not accessible. It's visible, but not accessible.' Ms Bailey said: 'I would hope that this is the museum of the future because some are very, very stuffy. We went to one recently and it was excruciating.'
