Montblanc released the Heritage Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date at SIHH 2016. This watch spiked our attention because of its utilitarian design and understated beauty. It stands out from the usual time and date wristwatch primarily because of its reinterpreted dial. While not excruciatingly obvious, the unusual subdial positioning of the seconds counter juxtaposed with a larger date subdial is what makes this watch so exciting to us.

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

As is the trend now for so many brands with model-rich histories - think Cartier, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre - “re-booting” a different range has become an annual activity. IWC is part of that tradition, having in recent years relaunched, for example, the Portofino and Portuguieser families. To the delight of a swathe of IWC devotees, this […]

It’s safe to say that magnetism is just one of those things - like gravity and friction - that gets taken for granted even though it fundamentally defines every aspect of our lives. The principles of magnetism are at work in the vast legions of electronic equipment that surround us. They are also present at […]

The question “What makes a women’s watch” is about as easy to answer as the question “What makes a woman”. In other words, there isn’t an answer, unless we stick to the naïve methods of differentiating by external, biological or anatomical terms. Now, we are intelligent, sentient beings whose personalities transcend the limits of gender. […]

In approximately 48 hours, many perpetual calendars will jump a digit on the year module. 2016. As the more perceptive of us would realise, that marks the end of the first 15 years of the 21st century. For us, this 15 year mark is a positive pit stop to contemplate on what the watch worldRead More

A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal.
