Marcel George illustrates eight pages of watches for Russian Port magazine

Maybe it’s because I am a notoriously un-stylish man, but the product spreads in magazines usually do absolutely nothing for me. Flicking through multiple pages of artfully arranged man-bags strikes me as purgatorial, but I understand these kinds of features often have a commercial rationale in the complicated financial climate of modern magazine-making. Credit though when a publication strives to do something more interesting with these spreads, like the Russian version of Port magazine (or Port Россия) which commissioned Marcel George to illustrate a recent feature on watches.

The London-based creative combines his accomplished draughtsmanship with some nicely varied set-ups, giving the final images a real sense of personality not often seen in this context.
