Long sought after by collectors, anyone who ha [...]

OK come on, this watch is cool. I am not even a basketball or Miami Heat fan, but this watch is really cool. It doesnt take a lot of thought to understand why Hublot is doing well with the aspirational youth audience or wealthy individuals who wouldnt take a Patek out for a night on the town in fear that they might fall a [...]

Today, Omega has announced some very exciting news in regard to how it will certify the performance and accuracy of their timepieces with in-house produced movements.

All-black and delightfully mean, the Breitling Super Avenger Military is a rare example of a 24 hour watch. In the United States we refer to 24-hour-format time as military time. That is because here, it is primarily the military that uses this format while civilians use a 12 hour format. W [...]

Big news in the watch world today as Rolex has been announced as the long-term Official Formula 1 Racing Timekeeper, effective as of the 2013 season.

One of the major timepiece archetypes is the pilot (or aviation) watch. There are numerous brands with products that fit this category, a segment which is attractive to anyone with a fetish for flight or planes. Some brands have an actual history with aviation, some try to produce the best possible pilot watch for today, and many others simply try to e [...]

The Parmigiani Fleurier?Bugatti Aerolithe Performance Titanium watch is the successor to the Flyback Chronograph we looked at here in 2014. It was an atypical watch from an already quirky (in the larger scheme of the watch world) brand, but it really was a cool and unusual piece that managed to also be an everyday wear option for collectors bored [...]

Some of the most fun new Breitling watches at Baselworld 2019 (and there were enough to choose from, for sure) were part of the airline-appreciation capsule collection watches that came in three versions.

Sometimes its tough to know where to start; in the case of this list,?I didnt know where to stop! 10 watches is not a lot. Rather than pick out the true classics, I thought it might be better for me to offer the 10 watches off the beaten track. I mean, whats the point in?a bunch of identical lists? For that reason,?Im totally prepared for the?volley of outrage coming my wa [...]

Blocks away from where I originally started in San Francisco, I found myself enjoying the hospitality of Omegas newest boutique near the popular Union Square shopping district. Omega invited a legion of press partners, clients, retailers, ambassadors, and special friends to celebrate not just the new store opening, but also Omegas symbolic return to full [...]

Breguets famous Type XX watches are among the first high-end timepieces that I fell in love with back in college. I couldnt afford one then, and I still dont have one today, but the dream of owning one of the Breguet Type aviator style watches remains strong. They come in a few varieties, such as the Type XX, Type XXI, and the newer (and sort of sill [...]

Watch movement. No, I dont just mean the watch movement that powers the watch. I mean something about these watches literally moves in a playful sense to add interest and novelty to that watch. Mens watches dont really have things that just flail about, but womens watches are meant to attract attention, both from the wearer, and her audience. [...]

Likely no coincidence that Tissot created a timepiece like this and both Tissot and Breguet are under the same umbrella company the Swatch Group. While Tissot is best known in the US for their awesome T-Touch timepieces, and other sport watches, they do actually offer some nice classy pieces as well (though a good deal of those are harder to find in the US). Tissot sits as a high- [...]
