‘Arm’s Length Architecture’: Building Blocks To Watchmaking As Exemplified By Some Of Today’s Wristwatches Including Urwerk, Nomos, Mido And Girard-Perregaux - Reprise
SIHH 2019 provided an instructive example to Tim Mosso of architecture’s low-key role in watch design relative to well-worn tropes. For him it was the third year in a row that parts of Geneva’s Palexpo felt like a Southern California cars-and-coffee event.

MIDO OCEAN STAR TRIBUTE SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW
INTRO Recently, we had the opportunity to spend several weeks with the Mido Ocean Star Tribute Special Edition.

The curved edges of the crystal offer up some intriguing reflections and dis...
