When it comes to haute horlogerie, Arnold & Son is often a brand that is overlooked by many purveyors.

However, that does not stop them from making wonderful pieces, such as the Time Pyramid and DBS. ThisRead 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.

One thing you can say without fear of contradiction of A. Lange & Söhne enthusiasts is that they’re a detail oriented bunch; these are not people who buy watches because the company has charmed a new film star into wandering around with their watches (Lange doesn’t do celebrities) or because a sports team’s agreed to […]

Haven’t we all been there? That boring speech, that meeting that seems to be going on and on, yet to nowhere at the same time? Moments when you have that deep urge inside you to check the time, as a glimmer of hope for when it will all be over? An urge you fight profoundly […]

You might not expect it but within Patek Philippe’s design department works a genuine and actually quite famous artist; Xavier Magaldi.

Not long ago, we featured a watch with a similar theme, the Graham Tourbillon Orrery. Unlike the Graham, the Astronomia Tourbillon does not feature a mini-planetarium. Nevertheless, this is still an interesting piece, albeit it may be a little difficult to digest all the details. At the first glance, the Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon is aRead More

Last February I visited URWERK in Geneva and while I was talking to Press Manager Yacine Sar, about the UR-210, she surprised me completely by presented me the brand new UR-105M, that was still under embargo.

There are several pieces of apocrypha circulating about the genesis of the Cartier Crash.

The world of horology is an interesting one, from masterful creations of movements to dials of every shape and size. We’d burn holes in our pockets to get that prized watch on our wrists and we’d know it was worth every single cent. But how wonderful it would be to have a watch to call your own […]

The story of Officine Panerai is a fascinating one; a modern Cinderella story in the world of horology.
