Where works of art meet timekeeping.
Watch houses are joining forces with leading creative figures to craft wearable masterpieces
Ross’s fourth model for the brand and first chronograph — bears his trademark touches as a designer, with a smaller radius, openwork dial and a stealthy, all-black tone, teamed with Hublot’s sportiness, angular geometry and alchemic materials: lightweight ceramics and new grades of polymers for the rubber.
“We played with perforation and anchoring the design on three words: stealth, speed, strength,” Ross says. “The open work is just incredible visually. It personifies industrial beauty.”

‘The strategy behind building a luxury brand portfolio through innovation.
Design studio @sra.sra has launched lucrative projects with the likes of Apple, Inditex and Hublot.
British-Caribbean artist and designer Samuel Ross and Singaporean entrepreneur Yi Ng have been business partners for more than a decade.
Ross founded luxury sportswear brand A-Cold-Wall* in 2015, with Yi Ng joining as partner in 2016, before the pair sold it nine years later.
It was a prudent business move that allowed the duo to focus on their design studio, @sra.sra, which launched in 2019’.

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
