Panerai?has just announced the release of their most highly complicated watch featuring ?two of their brand new minute repeaters (to chime in two time zones, naturally) and a price tag starting at $400,000 and going up with customizations. Panerai wants to pay tribute to their naval history and this piece is an?homage to the significance of bell-t [...]
Welcome to the latest installation in our Cost of Entry series, where we find the most affordable entry level pieces from some of the leading luxury watch brands. We previously looked at Rolexs Oyster Perpetual watch, the Panerai Luminor PAM000 Base Logo watch, and the Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium as each brands respective entry-level model. No less than a giant in the watch world, an [...]
Like most of you, I love a good, well-executed vintage reissue. Longines has been a master at this in recent years (just look at the Heritage Military Marine Nationale released this summer), and it makes complete sense: If youve got a historical catalog of incredible pieces just waiting to be remade for a modern collector, itd be malpractice not to pursue it. That said, the real cha [...]
For top-tier brands like Patek Philippe,?exotic materials such as gold, in all its hues, and platinum are almost exclusively used when it comes to their more complicated models, while steel is primarily reserved for the sportier and/or simpler pieces, like the Nautilus and the Aquanaut. The irony this creates is that once st [...]
Hermes started producing its own watches as early as the 70s, but they got really serious in 2006 when they bought a 25% stake in Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. And in 2015, Hermes made their biggest splash yet with the seductive Slim dHermes watch. Since then, Hermes has been steadily building up its Slim dHermes collection, and the latest watch will surely delight f [...]
On the same day, Swiss watchmakers Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille both announced their intent to leave the important annual watch trade show event in Geneva known as SIHH. Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille each appended minor explanations for why they are leaving SIHH in their announcements, but I felt it was necess [...]
If you are looking for something Grand Seiko quality from Japans Citizen, then look no further than the very impressive Citizen Caliber 0100 - which also happens to include the worlds most accurate self-contained timepiece movement. I will get back to that in a moment. It actually makes me quite happy that the Citizen Caliber 0100 watch (here as the reference [...]
No fewer than 744 hours. Thats how long the power reserve for the A. Lange Sohne Lange 31 watch is. While not a record in watchmaking (I believe the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari has the longest power reserve on the market with 50 days), it is indeed a remarkable feat, and more so because its a piece that you can ostensibly actually wear every day for a month. This year at SIHH 2017, Lange released [...]
This is the new limited edition Oris sub seconds diver made to help out the Great Barrier Reef. Each watch that is sold will have Oris donating 50 Swiss Francs (thats it?) to the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS). Didnt anyone tell Oris they dont use Swiss Francs in Australia! I joke! The money will go to help keep creatu [...]
Since the introduction of its first in-house mechanical movements in 2012, French luxury goods manufacturer?Hermes has progressively moved to improve upon some of their most established designs while serving up interesting new products. For Baselworld 2017, which is much closer than you think, the brand is introducing a new line of four Hermes Cape Cod watches for m [...]
LVMH, owner of luxury watch brands including Hublot, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Bulgari, among others, today officially announced what is really big news for the watch industry. Mr. Jean-Claude Biver, who has for the last several years been running TAG Heuer, as well as the overall LVMH Watch Division, will step down from his daily duties at LVMH. The reason for Mr. Biv [...]
Since 2017, French artist Richard Orlinski has collaborated with watch brand?Hublot to merge the artists angular style with Hublots design language. Hublot is known for pushing the boundaries with new materials and manufacturing techniques, so it is the perfect partner to render Orlinskis concepts in wearable wrist je [...]
Over the last few years my interest and respect for Cartier has really grown. Sure, a lot of their timepieces are mass produced, but they have a penchant for good, lasting design. No doubt I am not a fan of all of their watches, but little escapes from their manufacture without being really good for at least some people. Good design as I am learning more and more i [...]
Every year, Paneristis wait with bated breath when SIHH comes around to see what new special edition watches Panerai will release. Last years standout special edition pieces were arguably the series of Radiomir 1940 chronographs (hands-on here) rendered in various precious metals, featuring a handwound movement based on the venerable Min [...]
Sponsored post presented on by advertiserIn the vast realm of horology, few American companies have a genetic makeup as enduring and storied as Hamilton. It is a name immediately recognizable to the casual customer and the seasoned watch enthusiast, alike. This is, perhaps, due to the fact that Hamilton has existed for well over a century. Since t [...]
No Longer Made is a series done in collaboration with our partners at eBay, in which editors feature their favorite watches that are no longer in production.There are a few words that have lost all meaning when it comes to discussing Rolex watches. Underrated, sleeper, and undervalued may not be completely meaningless at this point, but we are getti [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre announces the seventh version of their Aston Martin automobile collaboration watches with the AMVOX 7 Chronograph. It marks eight years of working together with the auto maker on a watch which began with the kitschy idea of having a function that allows you to lock and unlock your Aston Martin car with a luxury watch. Moving forward, the AMVOX collection has become [...]
While at Baselworld 2012, I had an interesting idea. It wasnt totally unique, and I certainly didnt come up with it originally. I did however stumble upon a solution for a huge problem with the watch industry and a great way to solve it. Something that to my knowledge isnt really being done with any seriousness today. It has to do with getting more people to wear and want watches, and h [...]
I am pretty sure that the official name of this new Hublot Classic Fusion model is the Classic Fusion 42mm Classico Ultra-Thin Shiny Dial. Did Hublot really need to add that extra Classico part of the name and is Shiny Dial really a term that fits with a high-end watch? You can come to your own conclusion on that but dont let it cloud y [...]
