Corum debuted the Admirals Cup AC-One 45 Chronograph back in 2013 as a new line within its iconic Admirals Cup collection. Less quirky and more contemporary in design, the AC-One 45 has since seen some more elaborate models, all of which seem to shout out, This isnt your Grandfathers Corum watch.

Big Pilot + Perpetual Calendar watch? Yes please! I personally think it is great. IWC did a good job with this orange and black beauty. But a limited edition only? Well, maybe we will see more of them in the future. Actually we have seen a lot of IWC watches in limited edition skin lately, and I wont complain when it is in Big Pilot form. Price isnt horrib [...]

Wow, I did not expect to see something so bold from Blancpain this year. This is a totally new route for their diving watches.

Short post, but here the images say it all. If there was ever a gaudy watch that I wanted, it would be this watch. I typically shy away from euphemistically decadent watches such as this, but I am oddly drawn to the golden hues and texturing of this special limited edition watch from Bell Ross. Take the extrem [...]

I presume the above watch (update: called the Parmigiani Ovale I believe) will be officially released very soon (SIHH 2012 at the latest). It will actually be unveiled (not sure in its complete form) at a special Mechanical Wonders exhibition Parmigiani is involved in held in New York City from around October 26 November 26 2011 (at the La Vieille Russie) .

In 2017, Bell Ross introduced the BR03-92 Diver as the first dive watch in their well-known square case, and 2018 brought updated versions with a blue dial and this limited edition in bronze. The Bell Ross BR03-92 Diver Bronze goes further than a dial and bezel color with an all-bronze case, of course, but it otherwise retains more or less all the things I loved about t [...]

Earlier this week, Patek Philippe announced that they have produced a follow up to their most complicated watch ever, the ref 5002 Sky Moon Tourbillon. The new Sky Moon Tourbillon model, reference 6002G, offers a more elaborate packaging of the 13 complications included in the reference 5002 Sky Moon. Indeed, much of the buzz crea [...]

Did you know that like Omega, Breguet makes use of Liquidmetal? The special technology was purchased by Omega (via the Swatch Group) a few years ago for the production of bezels and dials.

The watch is the second from the brand to celebrate the Chinese tale of the Monkey King (Sun Wukong), which is a theme the brand previously explored in the 2021-released Oris Sun Wukong watch (on here). The idea was [...]

Just a nice large-sized thin watch from Blancpain? Not exactly. On the surface this handsome timepiece in the Villeret collection sports a rather thin manually-wound movement and minimalist looking two-hand dial in black or white enamel. The dial has just those signature Blancpain leaf-style hands in 18k gold as enameled Roma [...]
