Just last week, Montblanc gave us a pre-SIHH glimpse of the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph LE100. Truth be told, we are once again impressed with their lineup. Although not an entirely new model, this redesigned limited edition ExoTourbillon reminds us that Montblanc is a force to be reckoned with. It’s no longer just ‘that pen brand’. TheRead More

Not too long back, we have done a review article on the thought-provoking Endeavour Concept Watch. The Endeavour Concept Watch is a timepiece that is completely devoid of any details on the dial, with the watch face featuring only the watchmaker’s signature fumé sunburst dial with three watch hands. Following that, H. Moser & Cie. had decidedRead More

If you had lived in through the 70s and the 80s, then the name Bryan Ferry would have certainly rang a bell. The former front-man of Roxy Music is a wonderful gentleman with a great taste in sartorial, and he is an idol of many with his irresistible charms and “cool” image. Oh, and of course, for his wonderful songs as well. So, howRead More

Who has the better watch? Is it the Romain Jerome Spacecraft-Batman or MB&F;'s HM5 and HMX?

A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded. Now […]

And when you gather all the exquisite and immaculate grace of Cartier’s collection, you have what the French would call étourdissant, a singular word […]

Earlier this year, IWC released the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince”, featuring an innovative and delightful “jumping star” function. This was unusual for IWC. The Schaffhausen watchmaking company is known for its finely engineered timekeeping instruments that exhibit performance and reliability in every component. It is only in one area - its […]

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

Tudor releases a third installment to their highly successful Black Bay collection. Based off a vintage ref 7922 first launched in 1954, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay in black is the third model to be released.

I cannot shut up about this watch. Is that bad? I feel like I ought to be at least slightly embarrassed about talking the way I do about this watch - insistently, passionately, with a level of intense affection that doesn’t seem creepy until you realise that the subject of my volubility is not actually […]

Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.

A watch is a very personal thing. There is absolutely no question about this. However, as with so many things that we enjoy in life, our pleasure in watches is enhanced when we get to share it with friends and loved ones. My family aren’t actually very keen on watches, which means they’re frequently mystified by […]

The Quatuor is the most ambitious yet singularly least understood high-watchmaking project ever undertaken by Roger Dubuis. Replace “Roger Dubuis” with “any Swiss watch brand” and you could still make a solid case for the truth of that statement. The Quatuor was first introduced to us in late 2012 and officially at the 2013 Salon […]

The art of scrimshaw is surrounded by layer upon layer of romance, tradition and controversy. Originating on whaling ships, where whalebone and marine ivory (mostly from walrus tusks) was plentiful, scrimshaw involves engraving on bone or ivory, with pigment applied to bring out the design. One of the great classics of American literature, Herman Melville’s […]

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the calibre 9452 MC in the history of Cartier’s high watchmaking department. Those unfamiliar with the evolution and progress of Cartier Fine Watchmaking will see the calibre 9452 - a manual-winding flying tourbillon - as just another reference in Cartier’s vast panoply of complicated movements. It’s not […]

The moon wasn’t always female. Well actually, the moon was never female, because technically it has no gender - it is an inanimate chunk of rock - but you know what I mean. People think of the moon as being feminine. It’s interesting to note that in most ancient cultures, the moon was seen as […]

This is the third year running that IWC have chosen to showcase novelties from their Portofino collection during Watches & Wonders, and it’s not difficult to see why. As the brand’s most relaxed and philosophically accessible collection, the suave and easygoing Portofino lends itself well to the Hong Kong fair, which is far later in […]

Very few children’s stories are for children. To put it more accurately, there are no fairy tales which we would deem suitable for children today if we were to tell them in their original form. Even some expurgated versions are pretty raw - Hansel and Gretel is essentially a story about child abandonment and cannibalism […]

I assembled the new Panerai movement the other day. I wish there was a way to rephrase that sentence so I could accurately convey how challenging I found it to be. To be absolutely fair, it was at the end of a long week. You may think that Watches & Wonders is more chilled out […]

A. Lange & Söhne enriches the recently reworked SAXONIA family with two new models. What these classic three-hand watches with 37-millimetre cases in white or pink gold have in common is the noble grey dial. Both versions are available exclusively in the 16 A. Lange & Söhne boutiques worldwide.

I like yellow gold. I know this is not a popular choice by any means, but I’m not going to apologise for it or anything. There is something about the unabashed richness of the hue in question that I find impossible to ignore. Rose gold, when used sparingly, can impart incredible warmth to a timepiece. […]

Baume & Mercier celebrates its 185th anniversary at the Watches & Wonders Exhibition by unveiling two new special timepieces: the exquisite 18k red gold Clifton 1830 pocket watch, five-minute repeater, and the Promesse Jade. The Clifton 1830 pocket watch is inspired by the treasury of historic timepieces the company created during the 19th century, making […]

The Chinese Consumer is changing. Gone are the days when shoppers flocked to gaudy and bling items with visible branding all over them. One can imagine that the Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. They are now looking for less 'in-the-face' items but more subtle forms of materialism.

Extraordinary moment. A watch that transmits all the achievements of Berthoud as the father of French marine chronometer in a brilliantly contemporary timepiece. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has revived the mythology of one of horology’s most mythical names with beautiful modern eloquence. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is better known as the head honcho of Chopard timepieces, but he has […]

Master watchmaker, Dominique Renaud is a man who has lived and dreamt up some wild horology. From his early days at Audemars Piguet, to the establishment of Audemars Piguet Renaud and Papi in 1992, Monsieur Renaud’s name has been attributed towards helping many big names in the Swiss watch industry realize their horological ambitions. Late last […]

Omega opened a brand new exhibition at Milan’s Triennale Design Museum this week entitled Her Time, highlighting over 100 years of the brand’s rich history in women’s horology.

We’ve been waiting for this watch for a very long time. Well, in a sense I guess you could say we’ve been waiting for it for 10 years, but you know what I mean. What we’re looking at right now is a one-of-a-kind timepiece - yes, a limited edition of one. The IWC Portugieser Hand […]
