Here is kind of an interesting fact that I have admittedly brought up before but want to say again because I think it is sort of funny The movement inside of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time, which is the world time version of the also newer Geophysic True Second (hands-on here), has just one more component than the non-world time version. No d [...]
In 1973 Citizen launched the original Tsuno Chrono Challenge Timer, a steel bullhead-style automatic chronograph that would eventually help pave the way for Citizens Promaster series. The Challenge Timers were a unique bookmark in Citizens history. They also heralded the advent of the Citizen Caliber 8110, a mechanical chronograph caliber that boasted a column wheel [...]
April 1st, 2011 Switzerland. Historic and prestigious Swiss watch brand Patek Philippe has just unveiled a new member of their popular father and son watch ads. The advertising campaign that seeks to promote the values parents bestow upon their children and the longevity of Patek Philippe timepieces makes a bold new statement on a previously unexplored area of the br [...]
There werent any watches of note being worn in Bruce Browns seminal surf opus Endless Summer from 1966, but had there been, a Breitling Superocean of that era certainly seems like it wouldnt have been out of place, gallivanting around the world in pursuit of the perfect wave. New for 2020, Breitling has introduced a new capsule collection closely resurrecting the a [...]
Looking at the past a bit I want to bring your attention to the Roger Dubuis Golden Square. Not the contemporary model, but the one from a few years ago. In a 43mm wide square case, the watch screamed luxury in a way few other watches have. Bold and loud, the watch still in good taste. People that wear one suddenly feel a bit more important, but you arent sure w [...]
We wore a new Montblanc Timewalker model for a little while during SIHH, so we thought you should know a little bit about it. There seems to have been a resurgence in world-timer watches these days among many brands. In many ways this is understandable given the increasingly global nature of our world. No longer [...]
Omega Aqua Terra GMTExecuted in beautiful copper-colored 18 carat gold, we have the Omega Aqua Terra GMT reference 231.50.43.22.06.002 in for review today. Defining the high end of the Aqua Terra GMT series, I was delighted when Omega offered to let me borrow one for review. Lets start with the gold. Its 75% by weight, as you [...]
This is the UTTE watch by Arnold Son, and apparently it is the worlds thinnest tourbillon. The trend of watches getting ever chunkier year after year seems to live on without disturbance but the race for the ultimate in finesse and subtle elegance can be just as stirring as well and the manufacture of Arnold Son is here to prove that point by releas [...]

Several years ago,?Glashutte Original released a 1960s inspired watch called the Senator Sixties. It was controversial at the time, and personally I wasnt all that into it. My feelings probably hinged on the fact that it wasnt the type of watch I expected from the brand. Though after some revi [...]
Both of these watches are Bell Rosses, and both are BR01 watches. Though they are like twins separated at birth. One went the path of luxury while the other spent their years in a discipline rich military environment. I like that two personalities can come from the same type of origin, and both are useful watches in their own re [...]
Prior to SIHH 2014 I previewed the Parmigiani Bugatti Aerolithe Flyback Chronograph watch. In discussing Parmigianis latest Bugatti partnership timepiece I was overall impressed with the design and features that were remarkably sober and blended a nice masculine design with a successful combination of both Parmigiani [...]
In the slow warm Swiss summer, Cartier wrapped up its announcement of their latest concept watch called the ID Two (ID2). It is a follow-up to the ID One watch from a few years ago and while something totally different, is a serious step forward in the progress the ID One attempted to make (the futurization of the mechanical watch). There are a few ways of looking at the ID Two. You [...]
There are times that I wish I could have experienced the watch industry in the 1970s. Oh what an interesting time. Quartz regulated movements debuted in the late 1960s and was still an extremely expensive novelty which everyone was interested in, but no one quite knew what to do with. Mechanical watches still reigned supreme, and [...]
While I am not the type of guy who is that interested in vintage style watches, there are a lot of excellent exceptions such as the newer Breitling Transocean. When Breitling shared this piece with me I immediately liked it. Sure it is a retro-type piece, but ti is not a watch that is overtly retro. I would rather suggest it is a traditionally style [...]
Sponsored PostEvery year watch lovers and collectors in the Midwest look forward to the Watch Fair at Wixon Jewelers in Minneapolis, MN.

In addition to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second watch, another new timepiece in the collection for 2015 is this Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time that adds a world time complication, stunning world map dial, and a larger case size. Jaeger-LeCoultre originally released the [...]
After meeting with Maurice Lacroix at Baselworld 2013, I walked away very impressed with the new Pontos S Diver. I was excited to see their new three-hand dive watch as I knew it was going to be introduced at the show. You see, I am among the many people in the world who absolutely loves dive watches but havent quite mustered the time to [...]
