Complications are a way of life for Parmigiani, yet they will never bother you with it unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

Bremont is a brand that is synonymous with aviation and adventures; there is no surprise that their latest offering was derived from an expedition in Antarctica. Earlier this year, two British polar explorers managed to trek 1,795 miles across Antarctica.

Aside from the fact that the Bathyscape Flyback Chronograph is absolutely, unassailably, unequivocally, Steve-McQueen-in-ice-filled-underpants cool, it also represents a union of some of the most important technical achievements in horology.

Even manufacturers of die-hard, professional military watches like Marathon and Stocker & Yale don’t do it: camouflage the dial of their watches. This is for good reason since legibility is key when entering a war zone. But like many divers watches that never see water apart from the occasional pool, many military inspired watches will […]

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This quote from the great Leonardo da Vinci is very apt in describing H. Moser & Cie.’s watches, and particularly the new Venturer Small Seconds. One of the things that appeals me (and probably many H. Moser & Cie. Collectors) would be the looks of their watches. The brand pridesRead More

It doesn’t feel right, calling a watch like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique entry-level. It brings to mind images of small white cars with black bumpers, no rims and not even a radio or electric windows. Of course this is not the case with this Reverso, since no corners were cut to create this watch, yet […]

Officine Panerai has recently announced itself the proud sponsor of the restoration of the monumental clock in the Santa Maria del Flore Cathedral, just in front of their historic boutique in the Archbishop’s Palace.

We have said it before and now we say it again: a new color can transform a watch. While another dial can be considered a subtle change, dressing the case of a watch in another color is definitely more than just subtle! But then again, the Tread 2 by Devon Works is not really about […]

The importance of responding to the needs of the customer cannot be underestimated, and it is the brands that do this the best that succeed.

Smaller, independent brands often live a challenging life. Limited resources have to be stretched to cover everything from customer service to social media presence and yet, in order to stay in business, the collection also has to be developed further. This is perhaps the biggest challenge because if you want to achieve some sort of […]

As we move further into the Renaissance of mechanical watchmaking we see certain watch brands taking very strong positions within the watch world. A good example of this is Linde Werdelin, but on a different level the same also goes for Dubey & Schaldenbrand. Unlike Linde Werdelin, Dubey & Schaldenbrand has a much longer history, […]

That watch was […]

Sure, I get it. There is an immediate emotional response to “top ten” lists. For the masochists, there is the list of the top ten hottest women on the planet who could put a serious beating on you. Topping this is former Olympian and UFC champ Ronda Rousey affectionately known as the “Arm Collector” for her penchant for snapping her opponents appendages.
