High Life Issue #5

HIGH LIFE #5 February 2017 125 Skull jungle 骷髅丛林 A xl Rose, a founding member of Guns N’ Roses and one of the most iconic rock artists of the last 30 years, has nothing left to prove. The much-loved singer has made his mark in rock history thanks to his unmistakable voice. Non-conformist and provocative, the legendary singer, recently touring as temporary front man for AC/DC, has revealed his love of HYT. For several months, Axl has been seen wearing the Skull model, most notably during his recent explosive AC/DC shows and the blockbuster Guns N’ Roses Not in this Lifetime world tour. The Skull Maori was his preferred version. But was he really going to stop there? Now, Axl and HYT have launched a limited edition watch exclusively designed by the artist himself. The Skull Axl Rose is a custom model created by Axl himself. The artist chose a skull basewhich, under his direction, was given a Damascus steel style treatment. In addition, he requested that this be washed in blue. For a complementary touch, Axl opted for the same color for all of the indexes applied around the Skull. Finally, he chose to affix two side plates to the piece – at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock – decorated with the Clous de Paris pattern and also finished in blue PVD. The piece has a resolutely rock’n’roll feel, with a bold strap featuring blue topstitching. On the back, HYT pays tribute to the rock icon in the form of the legendary Guns N’ Roses logo. Underneath this sits the singer’s signature on the metallized sapphire case-back. The watch, which features a 51mm DLC titanium case with micro-blasted finishes, will be available in an extremely limited edition of just 25 pieces.
