Here is the beautiful and uncommonly sporty new Polo Chronograph from Piaget that debuted at SIHH this year. What I really like is this video from TheTimeTV.com that has Piaget themselves casually discuss the watch. I love hearing that smooth French accent discuss this fine offering, from [...]

Breitling has gone through more changes in the last couple of years than the weather does during 20 minutes of British summertime. The overhaul has been so radical that Ive sometimes been afraid to look. After months of therapy, Im happy to say Im no longer a heady mixture of furious/incredulous in regard to the [...]

Richard Mille joins the thin watch craze in 2011 with their 6.30mm thick Extra Flat Automatic RM 033 watch. For the complexity of a Richard Mille watch case 6.30mm thick is pretty darn good. The brand makes sure to maintain as much of the signature look as possible in the design of the case and they also made it round. The hour numeral style is not new, but taken from the Ric [...]

By Santiago TejedorJune 11-14, 2015, saw the Salsrc="newsimg/n Internacional de Alta Relojeria (SIAR) opening its doors once again, this year in Spain, as a sister event to SIAR Mexico City. SIAR Madrid is really a spin-off event (run by most of the same people) from the long-standing salon held in Mexico that founder Ariel covered f [...]

An understanding of trends helps keep Bulgaris watch collections dynamic and interesting with a broad range from formal to sporty styles, but backed up with impressive in-house movements. For 2017, the trendy-looking ult [...]

Omega likes its collectors, especially vocal ones. Im proud to help announce the limited-edition Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition watch produced in honor of my colleague and long time friend Robert-Jan Broer who founded Fratello Watches.

Inspired by the iconic God damn it Although I am not surprised, I must say I am still strangely disappointed that?Jaeger-LeCoultre did not last longer than 3, as in three words (title notwithstanding) before using the i-word in their official description of the new Polaris collection. Before this turns into a feature arti [...]

Recently, here in Los Angeles, Hublot helped brand ambassador Kobe Bryant celebrate his now official retirement from playing professional basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers after 20 years of service. The affably charming Byrant was on point this evening as his carefully curat [...]

For 2021, BVLGARI adds a worldtime complication to its stable of everyday luxury watches with the BVLGARI Octo Roman WorldTimer that we debuted on here. Rather than incorporate the popular complication into the main Octo collection, BVLGARI decided to build the WorldTimer out of an Octo Roma case across two debut models. You may recall the?BVLGARI Octo Romas debut back [...]

This is an interesting story about a rare Breguet dive watch previously unknown to most collectors that was produced in 1965. It is known as the Breguet No. 1646, and apparently, only 60 pieces were ever produced. We dont talk about vintage watches all that often on , but this is a worthy exception and I will explain why. First of all, the [...]

In 2014, Parmigiani Fleurier released?the Tonda Metro collection, which was designed to appeal to a younger audience and also be more accessible at the same time.

For the new Tonda Metrographe, Parmigiani has made minor revisions to the case and [...]

The people at Perrelet are at it again, dancing the complication jig. This new Perrelet Regulator Retrograde watch mixes a few complications in a way that (to my knowledge) hasnt been done before. You have a retrograde hour display, regulator style separation between the hours, minutes, and seconds (that occupies the main dial), [...]

This A. Lange Sohne Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar may look familiar to some of you but it is, in fact, totally new. Youd be forgiven for mistaking it for the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, which is so Lange that it hides the tourbillon and results in a nearly identical look at a passing glance. Looks can be deceiving, though, and for Watches Wonders [...]

One of the things I have always admired about Oris is its commitment to making the world a better place. Previously, weve seen the brand make the Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition Aquis, where a portion of the sales of each went to a preservation fund for the Hammerhead Shark. Weve also seen the release of the Oris Aquis Cli [...]

The show must go on. With or without the global pandemic, it seems pretty likely that Baselworld was doomed to eventually fall victim to its own existential crisis, but the question on the minds of anyone who wasnt paying close enough attention was what would replace the trade show? The rest of us knew that the future without [...]

If you didnt get enough of the Bell Ross BR01 Airborne youll love the new Tourbillon Airborne. Check out some jewelry versions of it here.

The March 2011 series of disasters in Japan really sucked for them, and it still sucks for them. It was like a triple play of Armageddon leaving even Godzilla offering to help pick up the rubble.
