In 1915 Breitling introduced a chronograph with the monopusher located at 2 o’clock. A natural position for the pointer finger to reside when a chronograph is being operated.

Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been called inventors first and watchmakers second. When visiting their manufacture, the diagrams and formulas that adorn many interior surfaces support this impression. The inventor reference is certainly no insult – the same might be said of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Greubel Forsey’s approach to watchmaking is, if not singular, certainly […]

The Omega Speedmaster collection has been synonymous with flying and space adventures, and we personally feel that they are rather quintessential and evergreen in the world of horology.

Located on the outskirts of Geneva is Plan-les-Ouates, and in a municipality that can rank an impressive amount of watchmakers amongst its inhabitants is Frederique Constant.

In its various forms, the Astrotourbillon is emblematic of Cartier’s multifaceted approach to haute horlogerie.

Even in the busiest, most prestigious marinas in the world, it is not that difficult to spot a Pershing yacht.

The moon phase is a beautiful reminder of an age before time was ruled by gears, crystals and atoms.

Montblanc is quickly developing a reputation for delivering beautiful, complicated wristwatches that offer excellent value.

Recently I paid a brief visit to one of the smaller Independent brands; ‘Manufacture Royale’. Now you may think; again another new watch brand? Well yes and no.

For me, I am at a stage of severe infatuation with subseconds at 6 time only watches. So naturally, I will show partiality to watches in this category.
