The new Apple Watch will be a major topic of discussion at Baselworld next week, and due to a coincidence in the publicity schedule, it’s already bumping up against a Swiss heavyweight.

Today, we are looking at an intriguing timepiece by an independent watchmaker that was discontinued sometime back. The decision to review the exotic De Bethune DBS Digital was spontaneous; it just so happened that we happened to see this spectacular timepiece and decided that it should be featured on Deployant. Well, it is not everyday that oneRead More

Some time back, I was having dinner with a few friends at a restaurant. Midway through a meal, a mate of mine named Joel yanked out a curious and vintage looking thing from his pocket. It was round, shiny, and had a chain attached to it. “Wait, isn’t that a… pocket watch?!” I exclaimed. That wasRead More

For me, I am at a stage of severe infatuation with subseconds at 6 time only watches. So naturally, I will show partiality to watches in this category. Apart from that, I like the notion of watches being down sized which I assume is the dream of classic loving thin-wristed men, like myself, of the asianRead More

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 […]

At first glance, luxury watch brand Hublot may appear to have little in common with the world of professional poker. Think for a bit though, and the parallels become apparent. Like big-time poker pros, Hublot’s Chairman Jean-Claude Biver and CEO Ricardo Guadalupe are not afraid of risk. Together, they have fueled Hublot’s rebirth and […]

Not long ago, we featured a watch with a similar theme, the Graham Tourbillon Orrery. Unlike the Graham, the Astronomia Tourbillon does not feature a mini-planetarium. Nevertheless, this is still an interesting piece, albeit it may be a little difficult to digest all the details. At the first glance, the Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon is aRead More

n 1864, Georges Favre-Jacot founded the manufacture Zenith in Le Loche at a tender age of only 22. To celebrate the 150 years of its founding, Zenith released the Academy Georges Favre-Jacot. A watch which is a amalgam of the skills within the manufacture.

At first glance, this may seem like any other Panerai watches. And it is not difficult to see why. In the eyes of non-Panerai collectors, many Panerai pieces look strangely similar. But the Panerai Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso (what a mouthful) is a little different. Like what the wise folks say: “Beauty is onlyRead More

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 […]

Recently, the CEO of Zenith, Mr Aldo Magada, came down to Singapore to witness the opening of their boutique in Marina Bay Sands.

Having already presented an outstanding line-up of new watches earlier this year – headed up by the exceptional Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater – you might have thought Jaeger-LeCoultre would take some time off to bask in the glory of their achievements. To the contrary – at Watches and Wonders in Hong Kong the Grande […]

It is quite easy to miss the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time, but this is mainly thanks to the strength of this collection. There is that stunning chronograph, the beautiful full calendar and of course the annual calendar with equation of time (minute repeater is optional), that displays these complications in a delightfully uncomplicated way. Add […]

When it comes to Panerai watches, there would only be two outcomes: either you love it, or loathe it. However, with the new 1940 Chronographs from Panerai, it may be able to change the perspective of certain critics towards this watchmaker. Or at least that was what I thought. The folks here at Deployant hadRead More

Speake-Marin may be a relatively new independent watchmaking brand, but its impact has been tremendous. And with the new Magister Tourbillon, it just gets better.

While a lot of the attention on Patek Philippe at BaselWorld this year was focused (rightly so) on the new 5960 Annual Calendar in stainless steel (and speculation about what’s coming up for the 175th anniversary celebration later this year, about which Patek has so far managed the unlikely achievement of a total information blackout) […]

Today started off fast and furious with four serious runners from Gucci and Movado Group waiting on the Mittlerer Rheinbrücke bridge at 6:30 am this morning. They had not been partying quite as hard as I had, and two of them had just taken part in a marathon, so it was a tough run, but […]
