Chronoswiss has always been a brand that was able to give a distinct cachet to its watches. Its elaborate styling takes you into a world where it isn’t quite difficult to imagine yourself as a master wondering through your romantic, stylish castle, or see yourself behind the wheel of an Jaguar E-type, taking on the […]

We always like to tell people that the watches made by Devon are what you get when you let an American design a watch –not a watch rooted in European tradition, not a watch that looks back to the Golden Age of American watchmaking, not a watch that casts a misty eye, through rose colored […]

As we move further into the Renaissance of mechanical watchmaking we see certain watch brands taking very strong positions within the watch world. A good example of this is Linde Werdelin, but on a different level the same also goes for Dubey & Schaldenbrand. Unlike Linde Werdelin, Dubey & Schaldenbrand has a much longer history, […]

Many watch brands have close ties to a single car brand, but it is Chopard that generously proclaims its love for all cars….but only if they are vintage! This could have something to do with the fact that Chopard’s co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, has a true passion for vintage sports cars and is known for occasionally […]

Earlier this year Grönefeld launched their amazing new Parallax Tourbillon. You can still find our report HERE, but the gentlemen had something else coming up, where they were pretty suspicious about earlier this year. This week Tim & Bart Grönefeld presented their new One Hertz! The new One Hertz is part of series of timepieces […]

Emeralds have charmed their way into the history of civilizations for thousands of years. From Queen Cleopatra, who was infatuated with the gemstone, all the way to the Incas, who venerated their goddess Umina through a gigantic emerald, many cultures have seen some sort of power in the vivid green jewel. For over 6,000 years, […]

The narrater of this 45 minute long advertisement for the new mirror-less camera called the Leica T System begins by asking the following:” Is this the most boring film ever made?”. As a marketing move, it is certainly brilliant, showing off every single second of the 45 minute process that it takes for the aluminium […]

It’s hard to believe that the UR-103 was released over 10 years ago. Yes - for those of you still mired in denial about how terrifyingly fast the last decade has gone by - it was 2003 when we first saw the shield-shaped watch with four conical hour satellites. As a testament to how forward-looking […]

The Zenith Pilot Montre d’Aeronef Type 20 line has certainly proven to be one of the more astute introductions into the market by former CEO, Jean-Frédéric Dufour. As a way to connect to the brand’s past, it ticks all the right boxes, with a retro styling that remains true to the originals that Zenith used […]

“We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air.” –Evangelista Torricelli, 1644 It’s a dangerous thing to start a new watch company –in addition to an almost infinite number of ill-advised possible business goofs, standing out from the crowd enough for people to notice what you are doing, as well as consistently developing […]

The Corum Admiral’s Cup was transformed from a cultivated, slightly eccentric, dress watch into a full-blown sports watch years ago. Boasting cases with a diameter of 45mm, they almost sail in a class of their own, with bold designs that nobody will every mistake for something else other than a Corum Admiral’s Cup. That by […]

A conservative estimate is that I saw 600 watches in my 3½ days at BaselWorld. When asked to choose my three favourites, all I could do was groan, “Impossible!” There were so many spectacular new pieces – and I don’t mean just the silly-priced stuff – that I can’t even devise a mental “filter”. Do […]

Compared to a diver’s watch, which has rather strict definitions of what it is required to have before it can be classed as such, the pilot’s watch remains in a kind of no-man’s land. What constitutes a pilot’s watch then depends rather more on opinion than objective fact. The fluidity at which opinion changes as to […]

For industry insiders the volatility of the watch industry is no secret. A great idea for a new watch is often not only the starting point of an adventure in this industry, it can for be, for many unfortunately, also the end. Even renowned manufactures need to work hard to not only continue previously enjoyed […]

Have a look at this video as Bart Gronefeld explains what the buzz was about, by showing us the special features of this watch. Interviewed by Adi Soon.

Surprise was what the Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th chronograph elicited when it was first shown at BaselWorld in 2010. The mesmerizing effect of the large red hand moving faster than expected was, without doubt, what most watch lovers would define as their “Striking 10th moment”, when previous expectations on how a chronograph […]

With Patek Philippe’s status as the most well regarded brand at Basel every year, it stands to reason that any new product they introduce is looked upon with more intensity than those of anyone else. The first two pieces by the brand that have just been announced therefore are what we might consider a warmup to […]

Purists will immediately, and rightfully, note that Black Tie as a dress code does not allow for the men to wear wristwatches. Yet those regulations come from an era in which Great Britain still had a King and every airplane a propeller. Times have changed, and so have watches. In 2011 Piaget surprised everybody by […]

During a recent press introduction of a new watch I was sitting next to an editor of a major fashion magazine. She was expressing her unhappiness about her watch. This had very little to do with the brand it was from, but everything with the fact that it was an automatic. She loved the watch, […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a modern manufacture, often taking the lead in new developments coming from a stellar reputation when it comes to movement design and development. Yet, they will not give up on proven “old school” technology and craftsmanship until something new has clearly demonstrated that it is better as well. This approach has been part […]

The SIHH closed last Friday and we are now selecting the loads photographs and videos we took during the meetings with the brands.
