As vaccines begin to roll out around the globe and the world looks toward the end of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most hopeful signs for the near future is the return of major public events like concerts and sporting events. The Olympic Games are perhaps the largest example of this, and strange as it may sound, the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are [...]
In a sea of similar and largely conservative watch releases, every so often there is a new watch that is so left-field, so unique, or so different from the norm that it sticks in enthusiasts minds for years after its initial announcement (for better or worse). Hublots first limited edition collaboration with famed French leathermaker Berluti in 2016 was a text [...]
When in doubt, add tourbillon. This might have been the mantra for many high-end watch brands since the dawn of the new millennium, and while the tourbillon trend is tired, it is far from being dead a point proven by the latest pre-SIHH release coming in the shape of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time.

Breguet, the maker of (in my opinion) the worlds most beautiful pilots watches, has just released this new limited-edition set of Type XXI Titanium watches known as the Type XXI 3815. This is a follow-up to the Breguet Type XXI 3810 Titanium ( hands-on here), which came out a full decade ago in 2011. The two Type XXI Titanium watches have just as ma [...]
Fawning over an A. Lange Sohne watch is not a rare experience for me - even if actually being able to handle some of their most impressive creations is. The storied German watchmaker always puts so much personal pride in its most elaborate products that it can be hard not to agree with their team members [...]
With so much to choose from as a GMT watch enthusiast in 2018, you have to wonder if todays available models are all just starting to blend into one, forgettable stream of overhyped releases. First off, as a newer watch, youd have to deal with the multiple comparisons to some of the top contenders, and watches li [...]
Franck Muller, the always interesting and sometimes over-the-top Swiss watchmaker has produced a one-of-a-kind timepiece apparently for Korean musical artist PSY. Depicting PSY doing his more than well-known horse riding dance right on the dial, the likely 18k white gold or platinum watch is full pave covered with diamonds. Black diamonds ar [...]
Not too long ago, we covered the release of the Cartier Santos 100 Carbon and the Ballon Bleu De Cartier Carbon watches. Our interest was piqued?by the idea that Cartier wanted to release these staples in ADLC, and now we have had a chance to spend some time with the Santos 100 Carbon. The result??Really, what you would expect. A classy, sleek, yet sportier alternative [...]

Until a few years ago, if you wanted a divers watch from Oris it was going to be called Aquis. has covered plenty of Aquis watches in the past and if you want a serious divers watch with real performance and style then the larger Aquis collection is certainly worth looking at. When Oris dive watch sales really started to take off the company decided it wanted [...]
At Baselworld last year, Hublot bolstered its popular Big Bang collection with an all-new model called the Big Bang MECA-10. I actually feel like it?didnt receive as much attention as it should have, so Im glad to see a fresh version out this year. Until now, Hublot has offered two variants of the MECA-10: the non-limited titanium version and the limited-edition all-black [...]
The Hermes Arceau 78 is an interesting watch that it isnt easy to position in the universe of luxury watches. The dial says Hermes on it, which on its own would classify it no higher than Fashion Brands Luxury Watch Attempt No. 24392. However, fans of Hermes - and watch industry insider trivia - will know that the company has invested tens of millions of Swiss francs in its moveme [...]
With the broad crossover appeal between enthusiast cars and luxury watches, its only natural for fans of both to draw parallels between the two worlds, especially with vintage or racing-inspired chronographs. With shared legacies, design cues, and often similar European refinements, it can be easy to draw a line between many classic chronograph lines and iconic mo [...]
I wouldnt have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes, but would you guess that Breitling the company with its own jet team (and jet man) is releasing a new pilot watch for 2015? I know, amazing and totally unexpected! All jesting aside, the new Breitling Chronoliner is a really decent-looking and not top-of-the-line-priced aviator wa [...]
Richard Mille follows in Jaeger-LeCoultres footsteps (sort of ) by creating a watch specially designed to be worn while playing polo. Jaeger-LeCoultre did this over 80 years ago with the Reverso, and now Richard Mille has the RM 053. While the Reverso was about flipping around the case to protect the crystal from shock, the RM 053 is about minimizing the dial (vulnerable are [...]
Vintage, throwback, heritage.?These are all words that have bombarded us regularly, and they can mean a variety of things.?Most of it is simply marketing fluff, used to denote a particular look or design that may have no actual ties to history, and is simply made to look old (such as a forced patina on a case or vintage-colored lume).?Then again, you do have brands coming to the table tha [...]
For the first time in history, Rolex will participate in a watchmaking event held in the middle east.
