More Omegamania…with the Planet Ocean 600M Coaxial GMT There is much to admire of Omega. Not only is it part of a large multinational group (The Swatch Group), but on its own, it is a formidable force in watchmaking.

We’ve just heard from Vacheron Constantin that their Traditionelle 14 Day Tourbillon –which was announced in late 2011, and which first wowed us in person at the 2012 SIHH –has joined the Collection Excellence Platine. If you’ll recall, the Collection Excellence Platine is a series of (very limited) production watches done all in platinum –and […]

When we first heard of the Rudis Sylva Harmonious Oscillator at REVOLUTION we were pretty skeptical as it seems to fly in the face of one of the most sacred of all horological commandments: Thou shalt not mess with the oscillator.

Chronographs are probably the most popular complication. They are pretty affordable (for a complication) masculine and have a sporty appearance that most men like, weather we’re talking mono poussoir chronographs or the three button chronographs, it’s a type of watch that we find in almost any watch collection. Cartier has currently two interesting chronographs in […]

Piaget’s justly famed for both its ultra-thin movements and for its extremely high level of gem-setting mastery (handled, unusually in an industry that out-sources a great deal of its sertissage to third party contractors, in-house) and this year, they showed a dazzling combination of both.

Though it won’t be officially launched until Basel 2013 we thought this was too interesting to keep to ourselves –it’s the latest take on the Zenith “Christophe Colomb” series of watches (part of the Zenith Academy collection.) The Christophe Colomb watches place the escapement and balance in a gimbaled cage, so that no matter what […]

I was recently a part of Time in Motion; An Hermes event held at the School of Arts Singapore- Part launch of the new collection of luxury timepieces, part celebration of a horology milestone, the event served to solidify the marquee’s status as a fledgling 100 year watchmaker. Amidst an evening of ballet and motion […]

FOUR DECADES OF THE REMARKABLE ROYAL OAK FROM AUDEMARS PIGUET There are certainly watches made in larger numbers, but there are few more instantly recognizable than the Royal Oak, from Audemars Piguet. Forty years since its 1972 introduction, the Royal Oak has become not only the watch associated by enthusiasts with the small Le Brassus-based […]

I was encouraged with the response to my post on the Parmigiani watches on tools, so today I decided to dig into my archives and offer some photographs of Langes on tools. These photographs appear in my book: “A, Lange & Sohne: The Pour le Merite Collection” available here. Today, I show the magnificent LangeRead More

Following up on last Friday’s remarks using DeBethune’s remarkable DB25T as an example, today’s post I use the same combination on the Voutilainen Vingt8 (28). Also photographed in L’Atelier by The Hour Glass using my usual set-up. I have featured the Vingt-8 before. As I described earlier, this is a magnificent watch. As mentioned inRead More
