Casio positions the GBA900 as currently the most affordable watch in its POWER TRAINER collection of G-Shock watches specially made for fitness tracking.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic drags on, the watch industry continues its efforts to adapt to the changing market landscape. Physical trade shows such as Baselworld were obviously an early casualty of the lockdowns and travel restrictions put in place due to the pandemic, but a continuing demand for new timepieces has led to a shift toward digital release events and [...]

What a wonderful time of year, when many brands start to slowly show what they have been working on for SIHH 2015. Cartier is kicking off the new watch season with their announcement of the Rotonde De Cartier Annual Calendar, a nicely balanced and innovative (yet decidedly Cart [...]

The Classic Fusion is one of Hublots pillar collections, and it has also become a popular canvas for collaborations with other brands and associations. Some examples include the Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch, the Classic Fusion Italia Independent watches, the Classic Fusion Chron [...]

One of the things I really appreciate about Hublot is that they dont do everything directly to sell watches. A lot of their events and projects are for charity or to further development in the horological world. Yes, of course, there is a branding element to each of these projects and it gets people write about the brand that might not otherwise cover a [...]

Theres been a lot to get excited about with IWCs announcements at SIHH, but perhaps one of the more welcome new releases has been the IWC Pilots Watch Mark XVIII. Purists and IWC fans might argue this is the true spiritual successor to the Mark XII from 1993, with its reserved proportions and utilitarian aesthetic. Both watches pay homage to the original Mark XI from 1948 which was arguably one of th [...]

When it comes to pilot watches, you are generally choosing from one of two categoriesC the simple Flieger style, or a more modern tool-style watch with a lot of complications. ?With their latest, Hamilton?has sort of bridged the gap, giving us a modern pilot watch with simplicity in mind.Hamilton traces their aviation roots back to 1919, and th [...]

We love the ONLY WATCH auction that takes place every other year in Monaco for the support of charity. Why do we love it? Well a range of participating watch brands produce totally unique watches that are auctioned off for charity (Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy). The pieces are sometimes mere color variations on existing models, and sometimes they are [...]

A new year in the Gregorian calendar brings many things. We wont bore you with a cheesy list but cut right to the chase instead: The first days of 2022 introduced considerable and noticeable Rolex price increases, especially on steel luxury watch models. In this article, you will find the retail price increases on the most sought-after Rolex watch [...]

Hublot is probably one of the least understood luxury brands around (particularly in the wrist watch realm) especially because so many people think that they understand it. Hublot really epitomizes what someone recently described to me as a non-fragile company. The idea is that fragile companies are those that dont deal well with criticism or complaint [...]

More than an icon, more than a legend, the Omega Speedmaster is one of the most popular and desired watches around the world. For over 40 years the sport watch that has been on the moon and on our minds, has also had a place on countless wrists. It has represented quality, durability, and adventure to many people. Omega has maintained and grown the collection over the year [...]

One of our shared goals here is to help bring watch enthusiasts closer to a diverse range of watches. Why? Simply because I am yet to meet a fellow watch-lover whod be lessened by a broader, more vibrant appreciation of timepieces. Forming that bond through a detailed and honest analysis is sometimes an easy thing to do; and other times, [...]

The iconic Movado Museum watch finally gets a design overhaul that actually makes it a good watch. Movado can call it what they want, but this new watch is a pure evolution on the design that put Movado on the map for mainstream watch buyers. The Museum Watch face design that Movad [...]

Corum just sent me shout-out on this new Tourbillon watch that will be released a few days at Basel 2010. Thus, there will be at least two new tourbillon watches from Corum this year this Ti-Bridge Tourbillon, and the Admirals Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon. While I have really only noticed that Corum key logo on the Admirals Cup models, n [...]

When Jean-Claude Biver was still running Hublot, the brand released an interesting new model in 2011, which was the result of a challenge of sorts. Jean-Claude Biver said that someone challenged him to make an Hublot version of a Richard Mille? an - even more high-luxury timepiece brand. Richard Mille (the man) and Jean-Claude Biver we [...]

Sponsored post presented on by advertiserWhen Hublot finds a novel source of inspiration, it tends to take it further than any other major player in the luxury watch scene would dare. In line with its Art of Fusion motto that has dictated the manufactures unmatched approach to creating and combining materials like has never been done before in [...]

2015 sees the release of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater watch. Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the most revered names in watchmaking and is fondly referred to as La Grande Maison, which can be loosely translated as The Great Manufacture. In its rich 182-year history, the company has created over a thousand ca [...]

A few years ago Bell Ross released their first womens version of the BR 01 style watch called the BRS (which I first discussed here). The idea of the watch was to be a smaller, more fashion oriented version of the BR 01 done in ceramic. Available in black or white ceramic, it is hard to argue that Bell Ross wasnt at least partially influenced by the [...]

Usually, news that a watch is no longer being made doesnt cause much raucousness. In the case of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 ( review here), it has caused a veritable uproar. Since Patek Philippe announced early in 2021 that its star steel watch with a decade-long waiting list would stop being produced, the timepiece enthusiast commun [...]

When it comes to Corum, most watch folks would probably call to mind the iconic Bubble line, or perhaps the Golden Bridge line. Those are certainly iconic in their own right, but theyre fairly recent additions to the catalog. If you want to go a bit further back, say, to the 1960s, then youre talking about the Admiral collection. As you might expect, this line is particularly i [...]
