The good thing about watch collecting is that it’s completely race agnostic – crossing any perceived cultural and language barriers. But being able to read and soak up knowledge about the latest and greatest watches in a language other than your first can be a pain at times – and especially so in Asia! WeRead More

Last year, H. Moser CEO made a cheeky poke at the Smart Watch genre with their pre-Basel sneak peak announcement that they too will be in the game. And revealed the Moser Perpetual 1 as the smart watch…semantically, quite correct, though not quite what the industry watchers were expecting. This year, he pulls off yet anotherRead More

In approximately 48 hours, many perpetual calendars will jump a digit on the year module. 2016. As the more perceptive of us would realise, that marks the end of the first 15 years of the 21st century. For us, this 15 year mark is a positive pit stop to contemplate on what the watch worldRead More

Well, Christmas is around the corner once again. Previously, we have selected a few watches (well, it is a horological website after all) as gift ideas, but what if you wish to give a gentleman friend of yours a gift that is not related to watches?

Just last week, Montblanc gave us a pre-SIHH glimpse of the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph LE100. Truth be told, we are once again impressed with their lineup. Although not an entirely new model, this redesigned limited edition ExoTourbillon reminds us that Montblanc is a force to be reckoned with. It’s no longer just ‘that pen brand’. TheRead More

Not too long back, we have done a review article on the thought-provoking Endeavour Concept Watch. The Endeavour Concept Watch is a timepiece that is completely devoid of any details on the dial, with the watch face featuring only the watchmaker’s signature fumé sunburst dial with three watch hands. Following that, H. Moser & Cie. had decidedRead More

It’s Christmas time, and we all wish we had an amazing Santa to put some wrapped boxes of watches under the tree. But alas, more often than not we are our own Santa.

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

Very few children’s stories are for children. To put it more accurately, there are no fairy tales which we would deem suitable for children today if we were to tell them in their original form. Even some expurgated versions are pretty raw - Hansel and Gretel is essentially a story about child abandonment and cannibalism […]

I assembled the new Panerai movement the other day. I wish there was a way to rephrase that sentence so I could accurately convey how challenging I found it to be. To be absolutely fair, it was at the end of a long week. You may think that Watches & Wonders is more chilled out […]

Tarpons are big fish, with some measuring more than eight feet long. They have an industrial appearance, with glassy eyes and shiny scales that make them look armor-plated. They’re also at the top of the food chain in Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles), where they dwarf the barracuda, and sharks are scarce. These prehistoric predators spend their […]

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).

Last year in my article ‘Coloured Dials!
