For some absurd reason, there are some people who still don’t think of Bulgari as being a company that produces technical watches. This is despite the fact that they have created - with the aid of their assimilated workshops from Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta - watches such as the automata repeaters “Il Giocatore” and […]

Watchmaking Grandmasters Philippe Dufour, Kari Voutilenen, Laurent Ferrier and Roger Smith were in Singapore last year for a plenary session arranged by THE HOUR GLASS at the Paragon.

Today over 100,000 people from over 100 countries are crossing oceans and continents on their way to BaselWorld for the largest watch fair in the world. As Revolution’s Swiss editor my journey is only a feeble 229 km, but it doesn’t make it any the less exciting as I prepare for one of the most […]

With Baselworld just around the corner, many brands have sent out teasers of their upcoming premieres, showing parts of cases, complicated movements or simply a silhouette. Not Arnold & Son….they delivered their first punch before Baselworld 2014 has even officially started with the introduction of their new Instrument CTB. And they are going for a […]

Now this is a piece of news that has certainly got me excited. With the impending cessation of ETA movement sales to parties outside the Swatch Group, many watch brands have taken on the gauntlet, and have just decided to go on it on their own. This is the reason why we are seeing watch […]

Roses have existed for thousands of years, their beautiful and vibrant colors enchanting all sorts of civilizations from the Greeks and Romans to the Persians. Symbols of love, friendship, purity, desire and gratitude, roses have been featured in legends and religious stories throughout time.

The rumors that MCT was about to launch a new model at Basel World made me quite nervous, since I have been huge admirer of the brand and love their first model, the Sequential ONE. MCT is one of the smaller independents that have released, as of now one model and a variation, the Sequential […]

As a watch manufacturer these days, having a tourbillon in your collection is hardly enough to set you apart from the crowd since many haute horlogerie brands already have one in their collections. Discerning collectors have therefore started to look for the next step, with even more impressive iterations beyond the basic tourbillon. Brands have […]

There’s a lot of postulation as to why suddenly a whole new generation of watch collectors, myself included, have become so fixated with vintage watches. To me, the charm of an over-half-a-century-old Rolex GMT or a nearly-40-year-old Patek Nautilus Ref. 3700/1A is that when you strap it to your wrist, you realize that, while time […]

Numbers have played significant roles throughout cultures in both scientific and spiritual realms, their importance deriving from ancient societies which believed that each numerological figure possessed a distinctive meaning. For the Chinese, the number eight symbolizes wealth, prosperity and the totality of the universe. For mathematicians, an “8” lying down stands for infinity, while the […]

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.

One of the most unusual and interesting pieces of horological exotica I can remember ever seeing had a somewhat rocky start in life: the watch (or watches, as there are now several incarnations) made by Zenith and known as the Christophe Colomb.

Name a watch brand that doesn’t have a tourbillon in its collection? They’re still out there, but their number seems to decrease every year.

This was the question I was pondering when the Piaget Altiplano 900P was placed in my hands. Piaget of course, are the masters of the Ultra Thin watch, having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this particular horological niche throughout their history. The brand holds world records for thinness in up to 12 categories, and for this, there is no denying that despite other brands introducing ultra thin watches from time to time, Piaget have shown that their focus has reaped rewards, and also what can be done when a movement, stripped to the bare essentials, can produce a wonder of mechanical beauty.
