Waking The Force - The New Legacy Machine Perpetual From MB&F;
A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded. Now […]

Review: Richard Mille RM 27-02 Rafael Nadal
Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.

Beyond “His And Hers” - The Genre-Spanning Timepieces Of Watches & Wonders 2015
A watch is a very personal thing. There is absolutely no question about this. However, as with so many things that we enjoy in life, our pleasure in watches is enhanced when we get to share it with friends and loved ones. My family aren’t actually very keen on watches, which means they’re frequently mystified by […]

Three Confessions & An Absolution
Confession #1: I have a weakness for watches with the dead seconds complication. I said as much last year when I told someone I could spend the rest of my life staring at this particular mechanism, and then he went and quoted me on the internet. Thanks a lot, bro. Confession #2: I just spent […]

Naturally Sweet - The New Lange 1815 Watch In Honey Gold
I like yellow gold. I know this is not a popular choice by any means, but I’m not going to apologise for it or anything. There is something about the unabashed richness of the hue in question that I find impossible to ignore. Rose gold, when used sparingly, can impart incredible warmth to a timepiece. […]

Market analysis: The maturing Chinese consumer
The Chinese Consumer is changing. Gone are the days when shoppers flocked to gaudy and bling items with visible branding all over them. One can imagine that the Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. They are now looking for less 'in-the-face' items but more subtle forms of materialism.

At The Eye Of The Vortex: What The New Hautlence Watch Reveals About The Brand
The Hautlence HL2 is one of those watches you don’t forget. The HL2 was launched in 2011 - the first of Hautlence’s Concepts d’Exception (as they name their very top-tiered products). This is pretty astounding when you consider the fact that the watch has become somewhat of a design icon in little more than four […]

de Grisogono Instrumento Carbon Chrono; Black Beauty
Is it strange to refer to a men’s watch, one crafted in masculine carbon none the less, as a beauty? Not when it comes to a de Grisogono. Fawaz Gruosi, founder and CEO of the brand, has its own approach towards designing watches, and beauty always seem to be the main ingredient. Followed right by […]

Contemporary Luxury; The Meerson Way
Define luxury. A task made out of two simple words, that will not only spark a variety of answers, but will also be something most people need to think about. Luxury can be found in noble materials, but when these noble materials are used in a product which are poorly made or whose finish is […]

Piaget And The Art Of Diamonds
Setting a watch with diamonds is by no means an easy task. Especially when you talk about high jewellery, or Haute Joaillerie, watch things become very complicated. It is there where the design phase of these watches is critical. Here, a designer not only determines which type of setting he wants to see, but also if […]

Telling Time Differently
Lausanne’s Museum of Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC) takes a fresh look at time and design with a selection of timekeepers that defy the conventions of timekeeping. When it comes to watch exhibitions we are rather spoiled here in Switzerland. There is the annual Baselworld Fair and the Grand Prix de la Haute Horlogerie Exhibition, […]

RGM 801-COE “Corps of Engineers” – An American Legacy
There was a time when the American watch industry was a fierce compeditor of the Swiss. Some believe this is once again the case, although now the Americans are armed with the Apple Watch. Personally, I think that for some, the Apple Watch might be an “add on” to their collection, but I am not […]

One of the most intriguing new watches shown at Baselworld begins arriving at local retailers this month. It’s the Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon, featuring the new constant force Ulysse Anchor Escapement. It’s probably safe to say that Ulysse Nardin is the undisputed king when it comes to the innovative use of new materials in watch […]

Baume & Mercier Capeland Shelby Cobra Flyback Chronograph Celebrates A Motor Racing Icon
The Shelby Cobra, one of the most iconic racing cars of all time, remains the stuff of legend, a car that when it first appeared, blew away the competition, and was the culmination of the efforts of one man who came with a unique idea. That man, Carroll Hall Shelby, had taken 3 years to bring […]

Baselworld 2015: Hands On With HYT’s H3 (Live Pics)
We wrote about the new generation HYT H3 when HYT introduced it to us before Baselworld 2015, a watch that takes the brand’s unique time telling fluid mechanism into a completely new design direction. A few days ago at Baselworld, I finally had a chance to have a closer look at this watch. However, having only […]

When news broke of the new dial colours that Glashütte Original were introducing for the PanoReserve and PanoMaticLunar, I was particularly excited. After-all, I had grown to know about and admire the brand through these two watches, and when I was first acquainted with them, I can honestly say that I fell in love immediately. What’s […]

H. Moser & Cie’s Smart Watch Proves That We Still Love Mechanicals More
When I wrote the story last week of H. Moser & Cie’s upcoming new Smart Watch, I did not know what to expect. Today, pictures have been released, and even a tongue in cheek video to explain that the Smart Watch in question, is no Smart Watch of the electronic variety. Instead we have an […]

Pre-Basel 2015: Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon
Ever since the invention of the earliest water clocks, physics and gravity have affected our efforts to measure time precisely. Liquid-filled clocks ran faster when full, because higher pressure at the bottom of the vessel caused the water to drain more quickly. Springs provided a technological step forward, but not a complete solution, because they […]

Frederique Constant Enters A Brave New World with the Horological Smartwatch
Truth be told, when watch journalists such as myself were told about a new big launch that was coming up by Frederique Constant, I was interested, being a fan of the brand. Yet, when I was told that it would be a Smartwatch, I started to become very curious. What would it look like I […]

Breitling Transocean Chronograph 1915; Breitling At Its Best
In 1915 Breitling introduced a chronograph with the monopusher located at 2 o’clock. A natural position for the pointer finger to reside when a chronograph is being operated. The century after this watch showed indeed a lot of chronographs where the start/stop-pusher was indeed located at two o’clock but in a touch of irony, most […]

SIHH 2015: Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision
Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been called inventors first and watchmakers second. When visiting their manufacture, the diagrams and formulas that adorn many interior surfaces support this impression. The inventor reference is certainly no insult – the same might be said of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Greubel Forsey’s approach to watchmaking is, if not singular, certainly […]

Potent Moonshine: Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moonlite
When I was under the legal driving age, Alfa Romeo introduced the 156. An important car for them, since they changed their box-designs into far more sensual curved shapes. It was quite a stunning and unexpected car. Perhaps the one that started the now so popular “we look like a coupe but still have four […]

SIHH 2015 – Clé de Cartier: Key To Success?
Watch brands often only have a few different collections in their line-up. Of course within these collections a lot of different models reside. This keeps a brand recognizable, the DNA strong, and makes it easy for consumers to maneuver around. Every once in a while though an evolution of existing collections won’t do and a […]

When it comes to haute horlogerie, Arnold & Son is often a brand that is overlooked by many purveyors.

However, that does not stop them from making wonderful pieces, such as the Time Pyramid and DBS. ThisRead More
