An important part of the process when reviewing a watch is imagining who the watch is for. Sometimes this perceived wearer can be quite general: “someone who wants a nice dive watch”.

The hardest thing when recreating a vintage watch design is knowing when to stop.

A few weeks ago I had the distinct honour and pleasure of spending some time with Montblanc (and 50 or so other watch journalists) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

It’s patently obvious, but it still bears repeating: watches are three-dimensional objects.
