Recently, the brand announced the Hamilton Jazzmaster Power Reserve Watch? a contemporary, dressy offering that boasts a long power reserve and good bang for your buck.

Politics and watch lover aBlogtoRead.com reader Eric sent me this perfect image showing off the watches of (from left to right), Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Elena Kagan. I love the clarity here, and the visibility of the watches. Biden has been known to wear a few watches, including an Omega Seamaster, a Citizen, and here a Tissot T-Touch. L [...]
With the Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astromysterieux, Cartier gets a dual prize for not only one of the most beautiful watch releases of SIHH 2016, but also probably the most French sounding. Try and say Astromysterieux without picturing a stroll in Paris along the Seine after an afternoon window shopping in the Place Vendome. Youd walk along imagining to yourself all the attra [...]
At an event this evening in Las Vegas, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched their brand new Master Ultra Thin Perpetual, a svelte addition to the Master line of dress watches that boasts a full perpetual calendar in a case family that we all know and love. The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual measures 39mm wide and a scant 9.2mm thick, making for a thin and very wearable watch [...]
Imagine the following scenario. It probably happens on a daily basis, and the issues which are at the root of it are both complex and far-reaching. Put yourself in the shoes of an average man ready to buy his first Rolex timepiece. You arent a watch collector, but for years the strong marketing power of Rolex has romanced you on the notion that whe [...]
In an unsurprising turn of events, Audemars Piguet has re-focused its attention to its past designs. With so many beautiful, albeit today little-known references in its history, thats awesome news. The Audemars Piguet Remaster01 Self-Winding Chronograph is the first watch to launch the [Re]master line by [...]
That aventurine. So hot right now. But seriously-if youre going to make a high-end celestial-themed watch, why wouldnt you use the most celestial-themed stone in the pantheon of all semi-precious stones? Granted, we saw a lot of aventurine at SIHH this year-subtly executed to perfection here by Montblanc, and a l [...]
Ah, to be a collector. These days, there are any number of things you can get yourself into thanks to the wide reach of the Internet. Want to start collecting golden-age comics? Start your search online. How about something more esoteric like, say, vintage safety razors. Again, head online. Of course, the more established things, like stamps and coins, have places on the web you can [...]
Watch collectors are obsessed with marking times in their lives that were significant, but sometimes we just want to take inventory of how the personal collection has fared in the past year. So, I asked the Editors what was the one addition to their personal collections this year that just stands out. We all as collectors ( [...]
It was about 2012 when Rado first released the HyperChrome collection of watches which, in my opinion, represents an interesting character and dimension to the brand. Rados self identity has been in flux over the last few years as the brand seeks to position itself appropriately in todays market. The Swatch Group-owned brand has had considerable historic succes [...]
Its been a few years since James Bond last burst onto our screens in the 24th installment of Ian Flemings super-spy series. In Spectre, enthusiasts were delighted to see the return of sorely missed Bond villain Ernst Stavros Blofeld and theres been much debate recently on how the story is going to develop in the next installment.?To [...]
The premise of my review of the famed Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Blue watch (reference 5711/1A-010) focuses on one simple question: What makes this steel sports lifestyle watch, with all of its love handles, persistently in high demand? To further illustrate my point, right before the publication of this review, Patek Philippe decided to raise the price [...]
It has been about four years since I last toured the halls of Audemars Piguet. The historic Swiss watch maker still makes movements in the same building that Mr. Audemars and Mr. Piguet did in the 19th century-though the company has expanded its footprint a bit since that time. Even now in 2014, plans for [...]
Just announced, the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5367 is a blue enamel dial version of Breguets very thin, very subtle, and very expensive caliber 581. Last year we saw the Squelette 5395, which gives a look through the skeletonized movement, but this 5367 echoes the three-hand Classique 5177 with a blue en [...]

SIHH 2016 is looking like IWCs year of shrinkage and old-school minimalism, and their Big Pilots Watch Top Gun and Big Pilots Watch Chronograph Top Gun watches are no exception. Hilariously, IWC refers to the current (now outgoing) Big Pilots Watch Top Gun as having a compact 48-millimetre case. Well, in that case the new models are about to get downright dainty with the Top Gun bei [...]
The biggest news from Bell Ross for 2019 is the introduction of the Bell Ross BR 05 collection that debuted here.
