If there's anything to be left wanting, we all wish that the watch was phallic instead of tonneau. After all, that would be one more function, a plumbing device for gaping holes.

Tales of legendary watch collectors are legion, like the guy with one of every Greubel-Forsey model or 50 Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas. One collection that is not contested, because its owner produced a book documenting some of its treasures, is said to be even greater than the accumulation by the brand itself. Marcus Margulies, owner […]

Tudor was founded by none other than the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, in 1946 to be an affordable alternative to Rolex, using the parent company’s cases but fitting them with third-party movements to keep prices lower. With a few exceptions, the early Tudor watches largely mimicked Rolex models, and even sometimes bore the Rolex […]

The technical and aesthetic challenges that have to be surmounted in crafting a fine tourbillon are reasons why they are especially prized. One very basic problem, is power. Mainsprings should be kept as weak as possible in order to reduce wear, but they need to be powerful enough to deliver sufficient energy to keep the […]

The good thing about watch collecting is that it’s completely race agnostic – crossing any perceived cultural and language barriers. But being able to read and soak up knowledge about the latest and greatest watches in a language other than your first can be a pain at times – and especially so in Asia! WeRead More

Last year, H. Moser CEO made a cheeky poke at the Smart Watch genre with their pre-Basel sneak peak announcement that they too will be in the game.
