Why does Breitling need to continually tease me? I have really liked the Superocean Heritage line of watch every since they came out a few years ago, and they just keep upping the ante with w [...]

Exclusively for the serious watch collector, one of the most compelling watches (in my opinion) debuted at SIHH 2018 is the?1815 Homage To Walter Lange (originally debuted on here) produced by Glashutte, Germany-based A. Lange Sohne. The A. Lange Sohne 1815 Homage to Walter Lange introduces a quirky complication in a very limited edition of timepieces [...]

The pointer date complication probably isnt the first thing that comes to mind when one considers Swiss independent Oris, but it is arguably one of the brands most important collections-which is why Oris is celebrating the 80th anniversary of its first Pointer Date watch introduced in 1938 with a very special Big Crown bronze edition. Being a sig [...]

Paris-based Hermes has always taken a couture approach to its watchmaking division, incorporating not only finely decorated in-house movements, but high-end leathers and high metiers dart dials that are hand-crafted to the same level of perfection required by fashion houses in order to earn the haute couture label. The Arceau Robe du Soir, Arcea [...]

It was back in 2011 that Hublot originally came out with the watch that eventually became the Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang. I recall the event in Geneva when Jean-Claude Biver announced that he accepted a request to produce a watch that was something along the lines of what if Hublot produced a watch inspired by Richard Mille? The two high-end watch makers tend to offer [...]

For SIHH 2019, Montblanc has announced several models including two new versions of their TimeWalker chronograph.

105 years after its introduction, Cartiers Tank has demonstrated a staying power enjoyed by few other watch models. Its safe to say that few, if any, timepieces have remained as true to form for as long as the Tank, thanks to a simple layout that has served as a canvas upon which designers have adapted the Tank to the times. This ability to update the basic design without losing the Tanks essence [...]

For 2013 one of the limited edition A. Lange Sohne watches will be this neat looking and very high-end Grand Lange 1 Lumen timepiece.

Lange Sohne is much more straight-forward in how they di [...]

Oris has really found its groove with the Sixty-Five collection. It took me a while to get into the brand because I saw a lot of just-okay pieces that looked like homages to other brands. What the Sixty-Five collection did for me was create a blueprint in my mind of what an Oris is, and now the whole collection feels l [...]
