While we are enduring fans of all things dive + Oris, their racing-inspired watches have always been both a great deal and great looking. This new limited edition Calobra model for 2013 is a shining example of how Oris does motorsports-themed watches right. Oris isnt new to the racing watch game, and steadily offers new models each year. The sad thing about the [...]
In the buildup for SIHH 2019, Audemars Piguet has been teasing a new release called Code 11:59. Theyve been posting cryptic videos on Instagram with various athletes and social media personalities wearing a blurred out watch on their wrist. Comments from AP on these posts eluded to a whole new line of watches, not just a new Royal Oak or Offshore model. Then on January?12th, Audemars Piguet announ [...]
BVLGARIs Octo Finissimo collection size is growing just as rapidly as its popularity among enthusiasts. To think that a decade ago, the Gerald Genta Octo family was just seen as another of Gentas weirder modern watches out there. Then BVLGARI (who acquired the Gerald Genta brand a while back), set out to make the Octo sexier and more mainstream - which [...]
This week is getting greener by the second Following on from the Glashutte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date limited edition and the Seiko Presage SPB111J1 Green Enamel Dial limited edition, the Hublot Big Bang MP-11 SAXEM watch takes things to another level of green, with a novel case built to house the impressive HUB90 [...]
There is nothing wild about this limited edition Omega watch, and frankly that is the way I like my Omega limited edition watches. Nothing too avant garde, just a good sober looking timepiece with a nice theme. Omega is pretty much obligated to release limited edition watches for [...]
At this years Baselworld, Omega introduced the Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Master Chronometer Limited Edition, a totally new Aqua Terra with a 43mm platinum case, in-house METAS-certified Master Chronometer 8939 movement, and a hand-crafted enamel world map on its dial. It serves as a halo piece for the rest of this years new Aqua Terra collection, which we [...]

He blogs at The Pretense of Knowledge and can be followed on Twitter at speedmaster.I remember several years ago I was part of a thread on one of the popular watch forums. I commented that it was too bad we werent alive during the 40s-60s, what I had considered the G [...]
Blancpain has released a brand new high-complication timepiece in its L-Evolution collection that I think finally answers the question of what is the L-Evolution watch family all about? For 2015, we have the Blancpain L-Evolution Tourbillon Carrousel whose in-house made caliber 2322V2 movement contains both a carrousel and tourbillon which are visible on [...]
At 2017s BaselWorld, Porsche Design unveiled something they were certainly proud of. With over three years of development time, Porsche Design released their first in-house movement, a flyback chronograph called the Porsche Design Werk 01.200. Porsche Design has mainly been known for presenting cutting edge chronograph technologies in the [...]
One of the most exciting things about each SIHH watch show is visiting Cartier and seeing their new limited edition art pieces that often revolve around animals. Last year in 2012 we shared a little round-up of some of the coolest Cartier high art watches. For 2013 Cartier offered novel metiers dart limited edition watches, and we [...]

Antoine de Saint Exupery was an acclaimed French poet, journalist, and writer who is best known for writing the novel The Little Prince. He was also a he [...]

The True collection has been a part of Rados lineup since 2007, and its signature has been the watchs fully ceramic construction (minus the sapphire crystal).

Days before Baselworld 2018, Breitling holds no punches with a slew of new surprise releases, giving enthusiasts some much needed breathing room after the release of the Navitimer 8 Collection with the Navitimer 1 Collection this morning. The 43mm and 46mm models were still a bit larger and more contemporary than I think a lot of enthusiasts might have ex [...]
To clarify, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight Trilogy is lit in the sense of the modern phrase that Roger Dubuiss target demographic will certainly understand. By that, I mean it is quite cool - even if it is, in fact, not for some Super-LumiNova, but rather some external UV light source that the watches begin to give [...]
In early December 2015, IWC opened up a new location for their Beverly Hills boutique store on Rodeo drive which is something CEO Georges Kern had been aiming his sights on for a while. The previous IWC boutique was charming, but quite literally around the corner in a smaller space along a row of sto [...]
Design has always been a cornerstone of great watchmaking. As technology marches on and mechanical timekeeping becomes less of a cutting edge science than an expression of traditional craftsmanship in a world of perfectly accurate clocks in everything from phones to dishwashers, the mechanical wristwatch has increasingly become a vehicle for personal expression, [...]
Last year I covered Longines release of the HydroConquest featuring a ceramic bezel. A year later, the brand has taken the next logical step and released a full ceramic version to complement the popular HydroConquest line. Longines is so keen for you to be aware of this material quirk, they have gone as far as to [...]
Did they do it? Did they do the Worldtimer in steel? I had to know. It was only the second day at Baselworld 2019, and already Omega was showing its latest novelties in secret, but to retailers only - with no media present and certainly no photographs allowed. Id spent the last two show cycles impatiently waiting for 2015s platinum halo edition t [...]
