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 […]

Today, recently appointed General Manager of TAG Heuer, Guy Semon dropped a bombshell on the Revolution team with news of an upcoming watch that certainly is a provocative statement of intent.

HYT tantalised us recently with a sneak peek of the third generation H3 that we wrote about a few weeks ago. Then, there was much speculation of what the hidden parts of the press picture would show and we waited with bated breath.

The HYT Skull that was announced recently was an unexpected development from Hydro Mechanical Watch making masters HYT, yet its appearance was somehow hinted at before with the H2.

Today was a great day for the ladies at the SIHH. It started at Parmigiani with a beautiful Tonda skeleton with an opaque dial. It seemed a little counter-productive to spend all that time polishing and angling to then hide the movement, but strangely enough the lace-like silhouette of the skeleton movement below the dial […]

A dramatic event occurred in the financial markets yesterday that will certainly affect many of the Swiss watch brands that we love and follow. The SNB (Swiss National Bank) made the sudden announcement of its decision to scrap its cap on the Swiss Franc against the Euro (at 1.20CHF per Euro). This news sparked a […]

The world of horology is an interesting one, from masterful creations of movements to dials of every shape and size. We’d burn holes in our pockets to get that prized watch on our wrists and we’d know it was worth every single cent. But how wonderful it would be to have a watch to call your own […]

Like many other watch connoisseurs and collectors, I have a hard time imagining life with just one watch. I’m even not ashamed to admit that I usually switch watches at least once a day, and not always because I have to access a new watch “in the line of duty”. No wonder I get a […]

Last month we did the article ‘Coloured Dials‘ and showed you some past and current examples by the various watch brands.

There is a terrible downside to high end watches; that can attract the more criminal parts of our societies to obtain what it not theirs. That means that most brand boutiques and jewelry stores have more security measures then most banks. Before entering them you need to pass through bullet proof glass doors, opened by […]

Baume et Mercier knows a thing or two about elegance. Actually, elegance is what they do best. This could have something to do with the fact that in 1918 William Baume joined forces with jeweler Paul Mercier, forming the companiey’s current name, which resulted in a collection of remarkably shaped watches the year after. Their steel […]
