Priced with affordability in mind, but with bold designs and an aggressive stance, the new Casio G-Shock GA900A collection (here as the reference GA900A-1A9) is the Japanese watchmakers latest heavy-duty watch for the urban fashion market (or anywhere else where durable watches are needed). Given my interest in black and yellow watches, I liked this caution tape/const [...]

For Baselworld 2016, Blancpain?is introducing a stainless steel version of their?Villeret Quantieme Annuel GMT watch,?providing a cleaner and more contemporary look. When Ive looked at this watch in passing as someone rather fond of GMT complications, it took me some time to figure out why the?Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Annuel GMT jus [...]

When I visited the Porsche Design booth at Baselworld 2010 I was pretty amused to see the new P6780 Diver watch cause it looked pretty familiar. In fact, just a few years ago Eterna released a watch that was almost identical, called the Eterna KonTiki Diver. I really loved about that piece and wrote about it here. Why was it that somehow [...]

When it comes to sheer pageantry, Jacob Co. has to be placed near the top of the current list of haute horlogerie brands. This is most vibrantly shown in the marques more extravagant show pieces, featuring everything from a working model of the solar system to an ornately sculpted golden dragon. One of the most memorable of these in recent years has been 2018s Opera Godfath [...]

LVMH Watch Week has kicked off for 2021, and with it comes a strong new slate of releases for Hublot. The brands stable of 2021 novelties includes everything from simple three-handers to intricate tourbillon models, but few members of the brands collection are as technically impressive as the Big Bang MP-11 line. With an immense 14-day power reserve and technology a [...]

Hublot extends ceramic even further by releasing the first high-end watch with red ceramic. Red is now added to white, black, blue, brown, and gray which are used in more and more watches each year as ceramics popularity increases.

At SIHH 2013, the most prestigious of the actually many prestigious new Jaeger-LeCoultre watches was a new version of the famous Gyrotourbillon. I dont think it is exactly what a lot of Gyrotourbillon fans were expecting given its return to a very classical [...]

A surprising new member of the Hublot watch family this year will be the new Classic Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton. It is relatively thin (especially for a Hublot), it is relatively simple (just the time), and it has a very nice looking modern skeletonized movement and dial. Overall a winner if the look suits you.Recently the Classic Fusion collection came out ( [...]

For 2013 Bell Ross will once again offer up a few new Aviation Instrument themed collection of watches based on the BR 01 (BR01) case. I believe this is the third or fourth year of doing so and it began with pieces like the BR 01 Compass and then the?BR 01 Radar watch. The concept of the piece is to be even more directly inst [...]

I have shown the images of this watch to?friends and fellow watch enthusiasts-not a representative survey, I know-and despite the unique?shape and [...]

I am not a gambler but gaming can be fun. So fun that a lot of high-end watch brands have devised casino-themed timepieces that either suggest or directly emulate gaming. A popular example was the Girard-Perregaux Jackpot Tourbillon of several years ago. It had a tourbillon, actual slot machine, and cost over $600,000. More recently, Christophe Claret offered his extremely complic [...]

It was years ago now more than 10- when I first saw what was to become this Bugatti Galibier 16C Concept car. It was the Bugatti EB 218, a concept that shared the same fastback shape and uber luxury stance as this close to production Bugatti Galibier 16C automotive. Perhaps the EB 218 was a bit more [...]

Forty grams. Thats the total weight, including the strap, of the new Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren F1 watch, making it the lightest split-second chronograph with a tourbillon the world has ever seen. Ok, yes-this isnt exactly an ultra-competitive category-hell, the RM 50-03 is a veritable boat-anchor when compared to the groundbreaking 19-gram RM 027 Tourbillon Richard [...]
