Canada-based Ematelier brings the beauty and technique of artistic enamel dials at reasonable price points today. When I last spoke about Ematelier, I was reviewing one of its enamel-painted limited-edition womens watches. Today, Ill discuss a mens product, but one that Ematelier cant exactly sell as a limited edition, as it is a special dial [...]
The watch industry is currently experiencing a season of change. This is especially true for those brands under the Richemont Group that dominate the important Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH). At no time during my decade in the watch industry have I seen more shifting of resources, power, and effort than now. Thats actually a good thing as the high-end wa [...]
Although 2021 has seen IWC introduce a comparatively more compact 43mm version of its classic Big Pilot watch line, the days of truly massive Big Pilot models are far from over. Alongside the pivot to more standard sizes, the brand has continued to develop new iterations of the long-running 46mm case variant, and for its latest release, the brand uses this ove [...]
The A. Lange Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase watch was released back in 2002, and we are now seeing the release of an updated model coming on the heels of the updated Lange 1 back in 2015. Largely the same watch aesthetically, the Lange 1 received a brand new movement and the new Lange 1 Moon Phase watch is receiving similar trea [...]
I was very interested in this watch because it was more than just another nice mechanical movement that showed the time in a funny way. This new world time watch (Multi Time Zone) in the Cartier Calibre collection has some neat features. My favorite is the city selector disc placed on the side of the case. These are usually very ugly looking and clutter up dials. For fu [...]
The shaped watch (anything that isnt round) is a Cartier innovation that is as much a part of its creative heritage as the panther motif, or for that matter, the wristwatch itself-the first wristwatch on record, the Cartier Santos, was square. In 2015, the brand began to revisit its shaped watches, starting with a platinum skeletonized version of the [...]
Swiss manufacture?Jaeger-LeCoultre has a reputation for being something of a watchmakers watchmaker, offering every conceivable mechanical complication, often in ways that other brands wont?C or cant?C emulate. You really need to be a lover of the intricacies of mechanical movements, or a gear head as were apparently called, to fully appreciate [...]

The first Glashutte Original Spezialist is the diver-themed Spezialist SeaQ which comes in two overall flavors for 2019 with the larger Specialist SeaQ Panorama Date which I will cover in t [...]
I recently got to spend a little time with the latest collaboration piece from Silicon Valley-based Collective Horology - the limited-edition IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph Edition C.03 in the new 41mm case. Collective founders Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly cite IWCs 90s era and, specifically, the [...]
This is the tenth Opus collection watch from Harry Winston since 2001.It is deviously complicated to explain what it does or how it works. Just looking at the? Opus X watch makes it seems like a simple matter of having various dials for various pieces of information. What you wouldnt understand is that the entire dial is moving, while the e [...]
Everyone knows Hublot loves collaborations and their latest project is the Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey Limited Edition series. These two watches will be the latest additions to the companys Hublot Loves Art collection. Unless you are a big streetwear nerd, you might be scratching your head at the name Shepard Fairey. However, theres [...]
When a brand like Hublot?states that theyve created their most complex watch to-date, its worth our while to sit up and take notice. ?Of course, if you pair that development with a Brazilian icon of motorsports, well, then you know youre in for some visual flair as well. Technically it isnt their most complex watch, but perhaps it is from a case and construction [...]
2020 sees the happy return of the Bulgari Diagono Aluminium - as both three-hand automatic and chronograph models. The watches have minor updates and now drop the Diagono part of the name, being just the Bulgari Aluminum watches (which debuted here recently). For the most part, Bulgari is trying to recapture the essence of these popular more entry-level models, [...]
I could not find the name of this new Laco watch. Perhaps if I spoke German that would be possible or I am just too lazy to write to Roger Ruegger, from who excellent (German) website I found the picture. No doubt I will discover it soon enough and update this article, I hope. Roger, like myself is a great lover of diving watches [...]
Now, this is a Breitling watch that you dont see every day. What we have here is a legit Breitling, but not one that youll actually find on the brands website (at least right now). Produced for a few years starting in 2005, and part of the long-time Breitling for Bentley timepiece collection (considered a rare watch + car collaboration success story), th [...]

Now for Baselworld 2018, Longines has introduced the?Longines HydroConquest Dive watch with a ceramic bezel. This new updated version of the Longines HydroCon [...]
Did you happen to notice that in the 2016 Captain America: Civil War movie (that I actually just?saw?a few days ago) Robert Downey Jr.s Tony Stark character-Iron Man-wears both a smartwatch and a traditional one? Yeah, it might seem like a nerdy thing to point out, but I wouldnt dismiss the importance of this trivial fact i [...]
