As we said in its news debut at the time: Among the Omega faithful, few Speedmaster models carry the cache of the legendary Ed White. The original model, predating the signature Omega twisted-lug design, became immortal on the wrist of the astronaut of the same name during Americas first spacewalk in 1965. A fan of all things Speedmaster (yes [...]

In 1994 a terrible accident during an F1 race in Italy caused Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna to die. I believe that he was the last person to die during a Formula 1 race, and has been a testament to the needs of caution and safety in the work of super-fast racing circuits. Since his death, lots of new safety regulations and technology have been implemented to make [...]

After the confusion and changing plans that dominated Patek Philippes release schedule in 2020, the iconic Swiss marque aims to start its 2021 off early with a trio of new variants in its long running Twenty-4 collection. First unveiled in 1999, the Twenty-4 line stands alone among Patek Philippes offerings as the only series aimed exclusively at women, and for this year the [...]

Mido has had a long history of Multifort watches over the years. I dont really get the name, and the people at Mido I spoke with dont really understand it either. Some combination of the world multi and comfort? Which means what? It provide multiple types of comfort, OK. Anyhow, the Multifort name has [...]

I am talking about this watch because people are going to notice it and wonder, what is going on here? Well nothing really fancy to be honest, aside from some engineering gear fun. While the concept of a clover and square shaped gear might be odd, it works. You can see in the video exactly how if [...]

Watches like this Geophysic True Second illustrate why Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to be one of the few remaining watch-lover watchmakers. debuted this new collection of Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second watches here toward the latter part of 2015. I advise those interested in this unique yet conservative mechanical watch to reference that previous article [...]

Longines will soon release these two vintage inspired watches that are lovely and affordable examples of classic sport timing timepieces. The watches are the Telemeter Chronograph and Tachymeter Chronograph. What makes them different? The dials, thats pretty much it. Each of these designs are faces we have seen before in the past, rendered here nicely in what is in my op [...]

Its not every day that a brand puts the spotlight on a material rather than its own watches, but Hublot is doing just that with its yellow gold collection released at LVMH Watch Week. Reaching back over 40 years - and a couple of decades before the Biver era - Hublot is paying tribute to the yellow gold on rubber strap Classic Original with a sextet of new pieces acros [...]

Lay watch consumers and collectors typically arent interested in the business or contemporary economics of the industry which produces watches and jewelry today. They prefer to be dazzled with inspired new products and be given compelling reasons to buy them-and who could blame them? Coverage of the watch industrys products is not complete without understanding the people and bu [...]

Yesterday in Monaco, the Only Watch 2013 auction was held and the results are in. The event is meant to raise money for a medical charity, to which 100% of the proceeds go. Each of the watches submitted are totally unique and donated by the participating brands. People get very interested in the results, as it is not only a sign of the economy when it comes to Monacos wealthy elite (and othe [...]

Whats next? is the?question thats been on the lips of the nation-or at least those concerned Panerai fans, who thus far had to wonder what the next frontier may be for their beloved brand. The Luminor undoubtedly is the more popular and successful among Panerai collections-arguably paling the Radiomir in comparison-and while the brand has not shied away from releasing myriads of different iterations, [...]

Sure, you might have heard that one of the last great lost watches of all time has just been found and is being auctioned off this December 10th by Phillips. Indeed, the remarkably well-preserved Rolex GMT Master worn by Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now surfaced shortly after news broke of the record-breaking sale of the Paul Newman Paul Newman back i [...]

has been producing some?buying guides for eBay, and weve got a fresh new batch to share. Now, we know that many watch people know the ins and outs of how to buy, sell, and trade watches online. However, more casual or beginning people who dont have the confidence of experience can find themselves overwhelmed, intimidated, and plain stressed out about the process.?We hope our guides, which are desi [...]

While I like this new watch range a lot I am torn because it is a Rado without being a modern Rado. What do I mean? Well for the last long while Rado watches have been mostly typified by having mostly ceramic cases. In fact Rado was pretty much the innovator behind ceramic watch. For 2012 a cool re-done diver collection comes out and it barely has any ceram [...]

I think I even surprised Citizen watches when I had immediate interest in the new-for-2016 Eco-Drive Super Titanium collection of timepieces. Not long before seeing these new watches, I visited some of Citizens factory locations in Japan to see how they made much of their most important technology. This inclu [...]

Omegas game of cat and mouse with the present and past continues. The last several sport watches they released seem to have at least one leg (from a design perspective) in the past. This new Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial watch isnt that much different. It is like a modern man in a vintage Armani suit that still looks pretty good t [...]

Harry Winston has recently announced another chapter in their Histoire de Tourbillon line, the Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6. It is traditionally one of the most complicated watches, but released with the least amount of usable illustrations you guessed it: one front view. To sum it all up real quick: a triple-axis tourbillon, a separate karussel, 683 p [...]
