“Wow” was the first thing that came into our minds when we first saw the Ludovic Ballouard Upside Down a few years back. The Upside Down was nice, albeit its brilliant touches were rather subtle. Two years after Upside Down’s inception, the folks produced the Half Time. This one is a little wee bit moreRead More

Stephen Forsey was in New York in December to introduce the new GMT Black –a black DLC coated, titanium-cased version of the Greubel Forsey GMT –and over lunch, he told me that one of his greatest sources of frustration was the extent to which Greubel Forsey watches seem to constantly be discussed in the context […]

We live in an age defined by portable computing, but nailing wearable computing has –at least so far –proven to be much more elusive.  While there has been a lot of soul-searching occasioned by things like Google Glass and so-called smart watches (which, thus far, have been more notable for interesting failures than resounding successes, […]

The new HYT Skull Watch

Review of the latest HM5, the Carbonmacrolon, a new material that is black from within and strong like steel. It takes its inspiration from the 70s and amazes us.

  “Design icon” is among the most abused bits of hyperbole in the Press Release Writer’s Guide, yet in a few rare instances, it actually applies. The IWC Portugieser is such an instance.  Few can question that 1939 witnessed the birth of a bright horological light, and in just a few days, at SIHH, IWC […]

Andrea Pirlo and his collection of watches

Ralph Lauren’s watch collection will, we hear, introduce a significant number of new models this year, and as an introduction we’ve been vouchsafed a first look at a 39mm edition of the Sporting collection’s Classic Chronometer.  This is, as they say, exactly what it says on the tin: a 39mm version of the Sporting Collection’s […]

Blancpain Saint-Valentin 2015: A rose to say I love you

Truth to be told, it has been quite some time since we were intrigued by a Franck Muller watch. In the recent history, Franck Muller seemed to have diverted from their ethos and created humdrum pieces like the Conquistador GPG and the Infinity Ronde. The 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton, however, is a little outstanding though.  Franck MullerRead More

Lange & Söhne enthusiasts is that they’re a detail oriented bunch; these are not people who buy watches because the company has charmed a new film star into wandering around with their watches (Lange doesn’t do celebrities) or because a sports team’s agreed to […]

As some of the readers may know, I am currently an Airman (not a pilot though) in the Republic of Singapore Air Force. Being a watch enthusiast, I tend to observe and interact with other airmen, and gaining an insight on the kind of watches that they are wearing.  This sort of leads me to question the existenceRead More

The Cabestan Winch Vertical Tourbillon Review: a critical look at this innovative timepiece.

The history of dive watches date back to 1950s, when Blancpain and Rolex came up with the Fifty Fathoms and the Submariner respectively.

Watches from Shark Tank

Haven’t we all been there? That boring speech, that meeting that seems to be going on and on, yet to nowhere at the same time? Moments when you have that deep urge inside you to check the time, as a glimmer of hope for when it will all be over? An urge you fight profoundly […]

You might not expect it but within Patek Philippe’s design department works a genuine and actually quite famous artist; Xavier Magaldi.
