The Rolex Daydate, or rather known affectionately as the “president’s watch”, is perhaps one of Rolex’s most iconic models. The Daydate is a symbol of success and power, which is possibly one of the main reasons why the rich and famous are always seen wearing a Rolex Daydate on their wrists. In this year’s Baselworld, Rolex had decidedRead More

The fabled watchmaker is perhaps one of the most well-known, and also one of the most popular watchmakers in the world of horology. As usual, there will be a rife of speculations before the launch. Many fansRead More

The Portugieser is perhaps IWC’s most iconic family. Though new models have been added, the essential design codes have survived largely unchanged for 75 years. To celebrate that milestone, IWC has declared 2015 the Year of the Portugieser, and one of my favorite new models from SIHH is the Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th […]

Whenever Rolex is about to launch a new timepiece, there would always be a plethora of hype and speculation in the watch community. It was therefore not surprising that there was a lot of excitement when Rolex announced that they will be launching a new variant of the popular Deepsea Seadweller (also known as theRead More

There’s something about a dive watch that emanates an unassailable image of unabashed cool. We’re talking Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane jamming in ice underpants cool. Maybe it has to do with the rakish élan perpetuated by 007 pairing his white dinner jacket with the Rolex Submariner ref. 6538 on a Nato strap. You could easily imagine him shucking shantung and diving into the sea to demolish the assembled forces of SMERSCH with nothing more than a sharpened clamshell, a bevy of torpedo-chested lady friends and his trusty dive watch. But it also has to do with the total veracity and slavish devotion to function embodied by these timepieces. After all, these were tools that soldiers and civilians alike literally depended on with their very lives.

In 1985, IWC’s Kurt Klaus presented his latest invention at BaselWorld: The IWC “Da Vinci” Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, which went on to become one of the most justly famed perpetual calendars of all time. The Da Vinci Perpetual Chronograph included the world’s first perpetual calendar mechanism in which all indications could be adjusted without recourse […]

Jaeger LeCoultre’s offerings this SIHH produced some of the interesting highlights of the show for me. The latest Gyrotourbillon 2 was unveilled…but only 2 pieces were made…one on the showcase, and the other on CEO Jerome Lambert’s wrists.

SIHH 2013 came and went in a blur…this was one of my busiest SIHH in my 12 odd years of attending yet. And one of the most interesting for my friends at Lange. Big, big crop of new watches. Grande Complication, 1815 Perpetual Rattrapante, 1815 Up Down, Lange 1 Lumen, amongst other new case/dial combinations.Read More

Rolex GMT: many dials…which one to choose…Pepsi? Coke? Black? For me, the GMT which calls out to me is the Coke…a nicely patinaed, evenly faded Pepsi may do the trick too… But for today, I feature the Coke… Quite a beauty. All photographs in today’s post was taken at the Presidential Suite of the RafflesRead More

I’d like to present some of the watches made by Moser. The Perpetual 1, which I have covered before in a bit detail is still one of the most outstanding perpetual calendars in production.

H. Moser is an interesting company, recently exploded into the scene with some very innovative watches. Featured here is the perpetual calendar. In many calendars, the dial is usually so complicated, it is hard to read the time, and even harder to read the calendar indications. Not so with the Moser. This roundabout thinking hasRead More

When Patek Philippe introduced the Cubitus collection in 2024, it drew fierce scrutiny. A square-shaped, angular evolution of the Nautilus concept, it challenged expectations. Yet, over successive releases, from the time-and-date references to the instantaneous grand date 5822P and the more compact 7128 models, the collection has settled into its role as Patek Philippe‘s modern sporty-chic […]

We’ve always had a thing for Mido. It’s a brand we talk about a lot at TBWS because, when someone is ready to break into the four-figure range without getting too wild, Mido usually has something worth looking at. They’ve got a huge catalog of fun divers, GMTs, and everyday pieces, and that variety has always been part of the appeal for us. So when Mido announced the refreshed Commander Datoday, I was stoked to hear we’d be getting one in for review. It looked like the kind of watch that could make a lot of sense as an everyday option, but still clean up well enough if you wanted to wear it a little differently. The post Mido’s Affordable Rolex Datejust Alternative: Hands-On With The Datoday appeared first on Two Broke Watch Snobs.

From its early adoption of titanium in the 1980s to its extensive work with coloured ceramics in the Top Gun collection, Schaffhausen-based brand IWC has consistently treated materials as a field of innovation. With the introduction of Ceralume as a concept in 2024, IWC explored the idea of a fully luminous ceramic case. Now this […]
