At SIHH 2018 Paris-based Hermes released a very compelling new version of the Arceau chronograph with the Hermes Arceau Chrono Titane collection. I was a big fan of these lovely new elegant sport watches, especially the version on the embossed black Barenia calfskin strap. The watch begins with the Hermes Arceau case, which according to Hermes was originally designed i [...]

Special Content for Glashutte Original.In our everyday lives, virtual, physical, and economical processes happen with nanosecond accuracy, and yet, with some three dozen different timezones, there also are a few too many fragments of time that one could possibly keep [...]

Ferrari cars and Hublot watches partners in timekeeping, but how well do these two brands go together? That is a question watch lovers have been asking since Hublot announced that it was the official high-end watch maker for the iconic Italian sports car manufacturer back in 2011. The exciting news was met with the reality that no one h [...]

For SIHH 2017, Glashutte, Germany-based A. Lange Sohne presents a new addition to the popular 1815 watch collection family that I think a lot of collectors have been waiting for. The A. Lange Sohne 1815 Annual Calendar watch, as the name implies, adds an annual calendar complication to the brands large assortment [...]

The GMT version of the updated Oris BC3 comes as a limited edition done for the Oris Big Crown Sky Racing team. Why does Big Crown need to be in that term? I know that Big Crown is a line if watches from Oris, but does that mean there are other Oris Sky Racing teams? Anyhow that BC3 Air Racing Limit [...]

Several years ago, contemporary Brazilian photographer and artist Vik Muniz epigrammatically described why the Lange 1 appealed to him so strongly since its 1994 debut, saying Since this is one for the rest of my life, I want it to be pretty.From the day it was announced on October 24, 1994, the Lange 1 is likely the most recognizable [...]

Omega CK2129 as featured in the movie DunkirkDirector Christopher Nolans attention to detail is legendary, and his latest movie, Dunkirk, has got watch lovers all up and excited. In the movie, Tom Hardy, who plays an RAF pilot, is seen periodically referencing his watch. Eagle-eyed watch lovers, like myself, have identified that watch a [...]

I attended a rather interesting dinner with Cartier where a several minute long discussion on the origin of the Tank name took place. Tank is a name applied to many Cartier watches, but records show that no one is quite sure where the name came from. Most people agree it actually does refer to military tanks. It is an amusing reality that mechanized warfare lent a name to [...]

G-Shock MOVE is currently the name of the sub-collection of Casio G-Shock watches with some type of fitness tracking or monitoring features. The G-Shock MOVE family evolved naturally from the fact that G-Shock is both dabbling (or fully submerged) in the activity-tracking smartwatch market, as well as the fact that more and more people are showing interest in usin [...]

The modern diver-like the modern sailer, might not still formally rely on a traditional analog instrument strapped to their wrist, but as any habitual tool watch wearer will tell you, thats hardly the point. And for such an enthusiast, even a truncated regatta race calendar this year hasnt stopped Omega from launching a new limited edition Seamast [...]

This is a watch that I could really see myself wanting even though it has a carbon fiber dial that I tend to not always enjoy (though I did like it on my Tissot T-Touch Expert). Yes, this has been a month of many Omega watches, but they have had some interesting releases so [...]

Now here is a watch that is going to be a pain for people to buy who want one. Little guys like this get wooed over when announced, a year or so seems to go by before any are actually released for sale, and then the wars begin about availability because they are so limited. Wit [...]

Sexy diamond covered Hermes watch with a name that means falling snow. What more is there to say? Pretty and destined to make her smile if you have the almost $150,000 it costs to drop on it.

Montblanc is following up last years launch of the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere with a green and bronze model this year in a limited edition of 1,858 pieces. Debuted at SIHH 2019, the reference 119909 1815 Geosphere is the same as the existing model, but with a new green color palette to match the current bronze case [...]

The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2017 is now concluded, and the team is predictably exhausted. We tried something new this year-a video log (vlog) series-to help capture what it is like to be at the show. Combining high excitement and energy-draining hours, we are glad people enjoyed that very intimate look behind [...]

The ultra-rare Bulgari Tourbillon Saphir watch collection has always been a favorite of mine because few people would ever guess that these timepieces come from anything but a niche luxury timepiece brand-let alone a major player like Bulgari. Nevertheless, part of the unique flavors of this sometimes under-appreciated watch maker are oddity timepieces like the much-too-simply-named Bul [...]

Lucerne-based independent atelier Chronoswiss has built its reputation on its distinctive and unorthodox regulator models. The brand has interpreted a wide array of different watchmaking niches in a regulator style over the years, and 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of its first tourbillon equipped regulator model. To celebrate, Chronoswiss has revisited the regulat [...]

Rolex Takes Steps To Reopen Watchmaking Facilities In The Near FutureWhile Rolex has shuttered production facilities since March 16 over concerns surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the brand issued a statement on April 29 that offers the first glimpse at a plan to restart manufacturing. The brief stat [...]

One of the most talked about watches from IWC for 2012 is the long-named Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month watch. Trust me, it is easy to mess that name up when trying to remember it. Especially because it also has a chronograph and does not include that part of the watch in the title. This sexy looking 18k red gold watch is an expensive and luxurious pil [...]

Neuchatel, Switzerland-born Abraham-Louis Breguet spent most of his professional years as a watchmaker living and working in Paris, France during the late 18th century. The Breguet name lived on with considerable esteem past the death of Abraham-Louis. The Breguet brand is alive and well under the ownership of the Swiss Swatch Group, and Abraham-Louis ancestors continue to l [...]
