Some time back, I was having dinner with a few friends at a restaurant. Midway through a meal, a mate of mine named Joel yanked out a curious and vintage looking thing from his pocket. It was round, shiny, and had a chain attached to it. “Wait, isn’t that a… pocket watch?!” I exclaimed. That wasRead More

For me, I am at a stage of severe infatuation with subseconds at 6 time only watches. So naturally, I will show partiality to watches in this category. Apart from that, I like the notion of watches being down sized which I assume is the dream of classic loving thin-wristed men, like myself, of the asianRead More

Truth to be told, it has been quite some time since we were intrigued by a Franck Muller watch. In the recent history, Franck Muller seemed to have diverted from their ethos and created humdrum pieces like the Conquistador GPG and the Infinity Ronde. The 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton, however, is a little outstanding though. Franck MullerRead More

Having already presented an outstanding line-up of new watches earlier this year – headed up by the exceptional Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater – you might have thought Jaeger-LeCoultre would take some time off to bask in the glory of their achievements.

Whenever we talk about Graham watches, either some aviator theme watches or the Chronofighters with the trademark “fast-action start/ stop trigger” beside the crown would subconsciously come to mind. This time round, Graham did something a little unorthodox, and the result is simply out of this world! Before we start talking about this timepiece, letsRead More

There was a time when the British not only ruled large parts of the world, but also large parts of the watch world as well. There is some connection between the two, because at one point in time, anyone who wanted to rule the world, needed a lot of ships. Navigating these ships correctly was […]

One of the most extraordinairy timepieces that Cartier presented this year was the Rotonde de Cartier, Earth and Moon and I have not even written a word about it.
