Two years ago, in 2012, Seiko introduced a Tenth Anniversary model of their Grand Seiko GMT watch –one with a strap, and one with a bracelet.

Well, it’s only January and already Omega fans and Speedmaster lovers have something to get excited about: Omega is re-launching the much-beloved Speedmaster Professional Mark II.

When Jean-Frédéric Dufour took over the helm of Zenith a lot changed. The brand went back to basics with a more sober design and as well, quite unique for such a pedigreed watch brand, more sober prices. This change in strategy served Zenith well, re-igniting the enthusiasm of many watch connoisseurs who had felt detached […]

Despite just having celebrated their 180th anniversary and debuted the stunning 10th timepiece in the Hybris Mechanica collection - the Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon 3 Jubilee - in 2013, Jaeger-LeCoultre are certainly not resting on their laurels, taking a well-deserved break. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon, the 11th piece in the […]

Straps are often a point of discussion when it comes to watches and especially when it is about vintage time pieces. A good strap and then I do not mean, well made, but good from a style point of view, can add só much to the presence of the watch. Nowadays almost any brand presents […]

Lange novelties are always interesting…and last week, I attended the launch event of the latest Lange novelty to hit the press, pre-SIHH. To be sure, there will be more interesting, perhaps more complicated timepieces which will be in store in SIHH. But on December 5 in Glashutte, in the yet uncompleted new factory building atRead More

The more expensive jewelry and watches become, the more likely that they will spend most of their existence in the secure confinement of a safe. When jewelry-brand Pomellato was founded in 1967 in Milan, it was determined to change this. With a playful approach towards design, combined with traditional craftsmanship, they created collections that where […]

The JLC Gyrotourbillon 2 is an amazing watch, but for me, the Hybris Mechanical Grande Sonnerie is even more amazing.
