Watch lovers don’t need to be told that great things take time. And that’s certainly been the case leading up to this moment.

Editor’s note: Rainbow bezelled watches are certainly enjoying their time in the sun at the moment – for years they’ve been seen as a women’s watch, or a left-field, quirky guys choice.

One of the big hero releases from Baselworld 2019 was the brand new TAG Heuer Autavia Isograph.

Editor’s note: IWC’s Big Pilot is one of the most significant watches of the last 20 years. Its deceptively simple design belied the huge impact this 46mm monster had on the watch scene.

Editor’s note: I’m on a bit of a travel watch trip at the moment. And, to my mind, they fall into two distinct camps: high-flyers and adventurers.

Editor’s note: One of the easiest ways to freshen up a watch is to change the dial colour. Few colours are fresher than green, and in 2019 that trend doesn’t look like going away.

Watch brands love to hang their proverbial hat on the strength and resilience of their timepieces, but oftentimes these claims are just that - claims.
