Magnus Carlsen

To mark the launch of Omega’s Master Co-Axial movement, we dedicated an entire issue of Omega Lifetime to the theme of mastery, calling it The Master Edition. The edition featured interviews with notable figures, including Chicago’s master chef Grant Achatz, Masters champion Sergio Garcia, and chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen.

“Although time is crucial in speed chess, I aimed to capture the mental aspect of the game through these images. This was achieved in the close-cropped portraits, where Magnus’s intense focus captivates, reflecting the chess master’s mind at work. Chess enthusiasts particularly appreciated the attention to detail, especially the depiction of a famous Carlsen game featured in the article.”
