The word icon is one of the most jarring in the industry. It is frequently bandied around carelessly and met with extreme chagrin. And while the spelling of the Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic 35mm watch provides a momentary visual distraction, its homophonic name is designed to make sure you get the message. However, it is fair to sa [...]

This is an exclusive first look at a new Breitling limited edition version of the Avenger Seawolf dive-style watch called the Avenger Seawolf Code Yellow. There isnt too much different here compared to the standard Avenger Seawolf aside from the black-coated steel case and yellow accents, but the design certainly his a sweet sp [...]

Here is an interesting watch that will no doubt be extremely appealing to a very niche group of watch enthusiasts. It isnt that the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 product itself is a niche-appeal item (quite the opposite actually), but rather this meteorite snowflake version of it will be among the rarer and arguably more exotic variants [...]

In 2016, Glashutte Original introduced a new collection of watches called the Senator Excellence. One can consider these watches to be an offshoot of the larger Senator collection. It is difficult to tell solely from press photos, but the Senator Excellence watches differ by being more modern, elegant, and classic in a [...]

Franck Muller watches rarely go unnoticed. The eye-catching, curvaceous tonneau case shape for which the brand is well known demands attention, regardless of your feelings toward it. Ive always seen Franck Muller as a brand that fills a particular niche. It is, in my mind at least, the glossier, more classi [...]

Here is a little bit of nice watch porn courtesy of my camera and IWC (dont get upset for me using such language IWC, it is OK for a man to get horologically aroused).There is a watch in here for everyone. New for 2010 watches that are missing however, is the new IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph watch that I discussed separately here [...]

I havent even seen the watch yet and already know that it is going to be one of my favorite new releases at SIHH 2016. Combining the majesty of the Royal Oak case and bracelet design with an innovative new movement and the visual splendor of skeletonization, this is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Whe [...]

The Blancpain Tourbillon Carrousel presented at Baselworld 2013 showcases the difference between the well-known (among watch people) tourbillon and its lesser-known cousin, the carrousel. Each uses very similar methods for attempting to compensate for gravity in a balance wheel. Just a smidgen of background. Blancpain used to produce to [...]

In the past several years, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo line has become the brands flagship line for delivering technical breakthroughs and design innovations, setting several records for thinness along the way. While the Octo Finissimo lineup displayed at LVMH Watch Week-Dubai 2020 may not deliver on technical innovation like past collections, the four new mode [...]

Thus far at SIHH 2018, no other watch has given me (and some others on the team) more of a visceral response than the sexy and expensive new Richard Mille RM53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough watch. Ironically, neither the close-to-a-million-dollar price nor the wildly detailed and visible movement are responsible for the sense of watch lust I e [...]
