Nashville, Tenn. — December 4, 2024 – Multi-platinum, global entertainer Chris Young is joining the artist roster at Black River Records.

“I’m so excited to announce my new partnership with Black River Entertainment!

Black River is an amazing company, and they have truly impressed upon me how much they believe in me and my future. I can’t wait to continue to add to my legacy with them as a Black River Entertainment artist.”

Lastly, we should note the little link touches of orange and blue because this watch is one of those RMs that I am less taken by, given my link taste link for rainbow aesthetics and tiny figurines. But this is the serious man's black and grey RM. I do like the typography on these things because it's very 90s video game console.

This is link a riveting design, literally speaking. Pun aside, this is a link cool take on a Louis Erard regulator, and probably my favorite one to date link amongst strong candidates from collaborators like Alain Silberstein, Kudoke, and Massena LAB.
