SIHH Diary - Day Three
Normally by the end of day three I am starting to see some common trends at the SIHH, but this year is a bit different.

SIHH Diary - Day Two
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 […]

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 […]

Travel To The Montblanc And Beyond With The Star Chronograph UTC
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 […]

Thoughts On The Winners Of The GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève)
As a schmucky, self-proclaimed know-it-all who has never agreed with the results of ANY awards program – I stopped watching the Oscars because they infuriate me so much – the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève is precisely the sort of affair that’s guaranteed to raise my blood pressure.

Labor Of Love: Vintage Safes For Modern Day Life
