When the original Bell Ross BR01 watch collection debuted about a decade ago, it was a sort of manly dress watch and there was nothing like this BR01-93 GMT model. There were a few versions, but many of them focused on the pieces inherent luxury status and ability to not look like just a 46mm wide wrist instrument. As the collection evolved, Bell Ross in [...]

At SIHH 2014,?Parmigiani will introduce the newest member to its Bugatti watch collection with the Bugatti Aerolithe Flyback Chronograph. It is in my opinion perhaps the most attractive Bugatti timepiece they have come out with so far being simple in design with a very classically attractive color palette i [...]

As the Chinese market continues to grow as a driving force in the global luxury space, watch brands are increasingly turning towards designs and complications tailored directly to Chinese tastes and culture. This has become something of an annual tradition in the watch industry as the Chinese New Year approaches, but for 2022 and the upcoming Year of [...]

Outside of the decently well-selling Altiplano collection, it does not always appear that Piaget has a specific strategy when it comes to their mens watches. In fact, if there was one really nice high-end brand that produced their own movements inside of the Richemont Group that might benefit from a bit of an ima [...]

For Baselworld 2016, Breguet debuts a new chapter in their highly exclusive Double Tourbillon collection with an additional member of the Breguet Double Tourbillon 5349 timepiece family. Referred to as a Grande Complication by Breguet due to its double tourbillons and orbital dial, the 5349 is actual [...]

While sporting partnerships of all kinds abound in the modern luxury watch industry, many of the highest-profile sponsor relationships nowadays come through the world of tennis. Brands from Rolex to Seiko have established connections with tennis stars, but one of the longest running and most prestigious partnerships in the sport is between Richard Mill [...]

The Porsche Design P6780 Diver watch is a fantastic timepiece for those able to appreciate what it does and where it came from. For everyone else, it will be just another pretty, albeit strange diving watch with a popular name on the dial. While I believe there are still plenty of Porsche Design P6780 Diver watches out there, I a [...]

The story of the watch industrys response to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has been a story of reaction by degrees. In multiple circumstances over the past several months, weve seen brands react, adjust event schedules or release dates, and then adjust those same schedules even further as circumstances [...]

The nickname of this highly exclusive Richard Mille watch is Mark of the Beast. It refers to Olympic runner Yohan Blakes track name which is The Beast, given to him as he sprints with his fists open as though brandishing claws. Blake is also a Richard Mille brand ambassador, the latest in a line of athletes that Richard Mill [...]

Recently Corum formally announced their limited edition Charge dAffaires set of watches as the newest piece in their Heritage collection. This is a piece perfect for vintage lovers. What Corum essentially does is modernize the design of an actual watch from the 1950s, but uses the exact same movement that the original had only produced with modern technol [...]

It might sound creepy and all, but I sometimes wish I were a fly on the wall. Like when the idea for the Richard Mille Bonbon Collection was first raised and presented at the brands HQ, or when fellow exhibiting brands at SIHH saw Richard Milles swan song at its last SIHH this year. In other words, the Richard Mille RM 07-03 Cupcake, Richard Mille RM 07-03 Marshm [...]

As a pre-Baselworld 2017 treat, Omega today announces a new flavor of Speedmaster with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronometer watch that features a racing dial. With accents in sporty orange and the distinctive style of minute track associated with popular historical models, its [...]

The regulator is one of the things that?hails back to the start of watch making, alongside historical items like pocket watches. Its nothing new that mechanical watches can be seen as something of an anachronism these days, but a big part of the reason they remain so successful is the?soul that draws us in. There are other other types of movements (or devices, for that [...]

Having grown up near Toronto and now residing in Vancouver, I was thrilled to hear that Jaeger-LeCoultre would be gracing both of these fine Canadian cities with their own boutiques. These boutiques are Jaeger-LeCoultres first in Canada and, for watch fans that frequent either city, the addition is nothing sho [...]

Over 50 years on from the bands historic breakup, The Beatles remain one of the most popular and influential music groups of all time, with a reverberating impact on pop and rock music that continues today. Few watchmakers are better positioned to pay tribute to the legendary band than Raymond Weil, which has spent decades working closely w [...]

Bell Ross has been making watches with skull themes for long enough (since 2009) that these types of products populate their own little sub-category within the brand. From pirates to tattoos, the classic skull motifs we have mostly seen from the Paris-based brand are now supplemented by a contemporary (if not futuristic) skull-themed watch that Bell Ross calls th [...]

The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36,000 GMT watches from a few years ago were a hit, and particularly the limited edition SBGJ005 with a green dial and orange GMT hand. The winning style and popularity of that particular model were too strong for Grand Seiko to ignore, so its back with the same colors for the same underlying watch model, but with a diffe [...]

Are you ready for a watch like this? Is anyone ever really ready for a watch like this? Among his many watches, Alain Silberstein offers some tourbillon models. Less popular today, a few years ago these iconoclastic tourbillon timepieces really offered something very different. Take this Black Storm model (ref. [...]
