The first IWC watch to feature a digital display of the time was actually made in the late 19th century. In 1884, a deal between Johann Rauschenbach and Salzburg watchmaker Joseph Pallweber gave IWC rights to the Pallweber system. The Pallweber system is regarded as the first digital pocket watch movement. The brands first digital pocket watch, ac [...]

My favorite family of watches in the current collection of Corum products is the Admirals Cup. Based on a now defunct boat race, the original Admirals Cup watch began in the 1980s and was the original yachting watch to wear on or off deck with your boating shoes and skipper cap [...]

For 2016, Omega has released a collection of Speedmaster moon phase watches, a complication that pays homage to the watchs unique history as the watch NASA took to the moon. Last year, Omega unveiled a Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon collection,?but this year they want?to show off the storied space history and also show [...]

Regulator dial timepieces are a rare breed, ostensibly designed for maximum readability of the minutes at a glance but often acting as a display of a brands movement-making prowess. Few companies have embraced the style as thoroughly or as expertly as Chronoswiss, which, since 1988, has built the core of its brand ethos around the unusual style. For its la [...]

Ive been enjoying the Apple Watch for more than a few days at the time this post was written-and it has got me thinking a lot about not just the future of electronic wrist watch functionality, but also watch design overall. What Ive been most interested in is not only how smartwatch design will continue to evolve, [...]

The Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 5 watch is likely to be the final model of the limited edition collection legacy that began with the first Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon in 2009. From the start the Histoire de Tourbillon series was meant to be limited, and represent just a handful of watches. Each is limited t [...]

With a legacy of innovation in horology dating back to its founding in 1960, Grand Seiko has a long list of advancements to the cause of mechanical (and quartz) watchmaking in its back catalog. While these innovations have taken on many forms over the years, perhaps none of these have been as intricate or as visually striking as its latest release. The Grand Seiko T0 isnt a timepiece [...]

Youd be forgiven if you mistook Patek Philippes newest Calatrava for, well, anything other than a Calatrava. After nearly a century, the Calatrava has become almost archetypal in its design language, acting as a beacon that can guide even the most, shall we say creative watchmakers back to horologys original style.?Occasionally, however, the Swiss get a wanderin [...]

Regarded in the watch the industry as having one of the highest standards of finishing going, it is never a surprise when Grand Seiko turns its considerable talents toward the creation of a jewelry piece for women. The only surprising thing is that it doesnt happen all that often. The last womens GS release we covere [...]

I have a soft spot for watch brands that lean into doing things a bit differently, and the Graham Chronofighter is up there as a divisive design signature that has defined the brand. The chronograph trigger on the left side of the case was inspired by a countdown timer watch that Universal Geneve developed for the Italian Air Force back in the 1930s an [...]

The penultimate luxury collection at Casio G-Shock is the MT-G collection, which sits right below the top-level G-Shock MR-G pieces. MT-G watches are certainly premium-priced at around $1,000 USD (several thousand less than most MR-G models) but include a lot of Casios latest technology plus a high-end feel and materials that should make even timepiece traditionalists [...]

Cartier recently wowed watch nerds with the rather impressive Cartier ID Two concept watch. Those with the budget to even theoretically purchase one are likely to be disappointed that the ID Two (like the ID One watch) will never be for sale. However, at the same time Cartier announced the ID Two, it also announced the limited edition Rotonde de Cartier As [...]

Two new and indeed highly complicated additions to the IWC Ingenieur family for 2015 are the IWC?Ingenieur Constant-Force Tourbillon and the IWC?Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, both?now available in a new colorway dominated by red gold. This grants us the opportunity to take a closer look [...]

The brand later changed its name to Rado, and a short quarter-century later was one of the largest producers of watch movements in the world. Just over a c [...]

You would never know it by todays bro-centric collectors culture, but the wristwatch was originally invented for women, and it was worn almost exclusively by women for its first 100 years of existence - with the notable exception of Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wore his trusty Cartier while flying his plane. After a ce [...]
