Whenever a new watch is released by a prestigious brand, accompanying reams of marketing material extolling a retrodden technique as unique are almost par for the course. However, with the release of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Unique Travel Time watch, one of the industrys most celebrated brands has produced something that catches the eye from all sor [...]

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic was first launched in 1958 as a special edition watch and has since become a hot favorite for vintage collectors. In 2014, JLC revived the Geophysic label for a new line of watches. The Geophysic Universal Time?in steel was a part of this lineup, followed by a gold model. Here, we look at the steel model on a bracelet [...]

No-holds-barred, creatively designed watches are the true limited editions of todays biggest watch brands. Seeing 2018s Rolex Daytona Rainbow almost triple in value, from its $90,000 retail well into the $200,000 range is just one of many fitting examples. On this occasion, we are going hand [...]

As SIHH each year Jaeger-LeCoultre is on my short list of brands that I am very excited to see. Their booth isnt design by people who work at Universal Studios, and their watches are cool creations that real people might actually wear. This applies to both their reasonably priced pieces and more exotic fare like this new version of the D [...]

Despite paring their dial designs back to an absolute minimum, skeleton watches offer brands a canvas for a vast range of expressions. Skeleton designs can range from classically inspired to wildly futuristic, and from elegantly formal to boldly sporting. Because these watches offer so little in the way of visual real estate beyond their movemen [...]

Right after the release of Christopher Nolans sci-fi movie, Interstellar, we took a look at the Hamilton watches worn by the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain, one of which was the Murph field watch specifically made for the film. Named after the character Murph Cooper, only ten units were ever produced, and all but [...]

The 5130G is an extremely classic Patek Phillipe watch with a look most any watch lover will recognize. Its world time feature is a signature complication that has been in the Patek Philippe family for a long time. Other high-end brands of course have their own version of the double disc based world-time function, but many consider Pateks rendition to be the curren [...]

The majority of new Breitling watches that are released dont excite me. It is a lot of the same to be honest. Oh look, another chronograph watch in a heavy highly polished metal case, maybe with a rotating bezel or a slide rule. That is basically most Breitling watches although some are better looking [...]

Among other things, Richard Mille gets an award for having some of the longest technical spec sheets out there. I wouldnt normally do this, but below you can read the entire thing it is like an RM 032 bible! Brand spanking new is this new RM 032 Automatic Chronograph Divers watch that sits between the RM 025 and the RM 028 Divers that share the round case style. F [...]

Now this is a nice little story that will warm that hearts of all watch lovers. For years Audemars Piguet (among other high-end watch brands) have been featured in the HBO series Entourage. Co-star Jeremy Pivens character Ari Gold wore at least a few Audemars Piguet watches.Continue reading

Contributed by Iunal Giumali for It happens only ever so rarely that we cover other products than watches here on , but this $105,000 Richard Mille RMS05?fountain pen is both bold-looking?and technically impressive?enough?to justify a closer look.

For 2017, Glashutte Original debuts a new limited-edition collection of five different watches within the Sixties Square family. Devotees of the brand might find it interesting that these are the first Glashutte Original watches initially debuted outside of Europe in New York City today wh [...]

While it is true that before Bell Ross became famous for being the square watch brand they were making really nice round watches, it still feels novel for them to be making nice round watches again. A few years ago they realized that while the BR 01 and BR 03 are spectacularly popular, they wanted to also focus on more traditional looking pie [...]

If one could distill a tuxedo into wristwatch form, no doubt it would resemble the Piaget Black Tie Vintage Inspiration, one of the brands most anticipated offerings at SIHH 2015 and it didnt disappoint when the ABTW team got their hands on it. True to its name, the Piaget Black Tie, like many of the [...]

Omega launched a torrent of new models and colors at Baselworld this past March, and among the new Planet Oceans and Moonphase Speedmasters we found the handsome and entirely charming Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch CK2998 Limited Edition. Sharing the same basic form as the Moonwatch [...]

In 2018 Cartier released a totally refreshed version of the Santos which I (correctly) predicted would be a hit with consumers. According to Cartier, the new Santos was the top-selling mens watch for the brand last year, and now the new Santos family has been given a new model for 2019 known as the Cartier Santos Chronograph. So far this is my favorite affordab [...]

As an guest, Hugh Taylor from Xupes.com (a pre-owned watches and luxury goods dealer in the UK) once again interviews their in-house master watchmaker, Mickey Nolan, as he proceeds to explain and dissemble three different movements that have all found homes within Omega Seamaster watches. Like many timepieces which have been produced for a number of years, t [...]

Continued mastery of electro-plating over metal inspired the people at Casio to keep making cool, colorful watches like this particular version of the metal-cased G-Shock GM-5600 known as the GM5600SN-1. Many of the rainbow IP (ion-plated) watches from Casio are a bit more high-end and often very limited in their production. At just over $250 USD, this GM5600SN-1 is a [...]

Grahams automotive-themed watches tend to fall under its Silverstone model collection, and a new version for 2014 is this Graham Silverstone RS Skeleton Black Gold. What is really new are?the colors, but since weve never officially discussed the Silverstone RS Skeleton, I thought it would be an oppor [...]
