Audemars Piguet’s offshore series have been a huge marketing success for the brand. While some condemn its watches as gimmicky and merely fashionable, a massive fan base and following of the offshore series have catapulted Audemars Piguet from a once classic brand to near cult status. Following the success of Gerald Genta’s A-series Jumbo, the Royal OakRead More

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. Apart from that, I like the notion of watches being down sized which I assume is the dream of classic loving thin-wristed men, like myself, of the asianRead More

One of the most unusual and technically intriguing watches that I’ve seen so far this year at the 2015 edition of the SIHH is the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater. The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is actually not Lange’s first minute repeater –that distinction goes to the Lange Grand Complication, which is a grand et petite sonnerie, minute […]

There is hardly anything more impressive in the world of watchmaking then a Grande Complication. All the skill and know-how of a brand incorporated in one single piece, resulting in a watch that can and has almost everything. These watches are as prestigious as they are rare, not only to their owners but also to […]

When you hear the words Carbon and Green, especially quickly after each other, you probably think that the conversation is about the environment and not about high end watches. The exception to this rule is Linde Werdelin’s latest edition to the line-up; the Oktopus Double Date Carbon – Green. The name actually says it all; […]

Stephen Forsey was in New York in December to introduce the new GMT Black –a black DLC coated, titanium-cased version of the Greubel Forsey GMT –and over lunch, he told me that one of his greatest sources of frustration was the extent to which Greubel Forsey watches seem to constantly be discussed in the context […]

We live in an age defined by portable computing, but nailing wearable computing has –at least so far –proven to be much more elusive. While there has been a lot of soul-searching occasioned by things like Google Glass and so-called smart watches (which, thus far, have been more notable for interesting failures than resounding successes, […]

One thing you can say without fear of contradiction of A. Lange & Söhne enthusiasts is that they’re a detail oriented bunch; these are not people who buy watches because the company has charmed a new film star into wandering around with their watches (Lange doesn’t do celebrities) or because a sports team’s agreed to […]

As some of the readers may know, I am currently an Airman (not a pilot though) in the Republic of Singapore Air Force. Being a watch enthusiast, I tend to observe and interact with other airmen, and gaining an insight on the kind of watches that they are wearing. This sort of leads me to question the existenceRead More

The history of dive watches date back to 1950s, when Blancpain and Rolex came up with the Fifty Fathoms and the Submariner respectively.

Like many other watch connoisseurs and collectors, I have a hard time imagining life with just one watch. I’m even not ashamed to admit that I usually switch watches at least once a day, and not always because I have to access a new watch “in the line of duty”. No wonder I get a […]

In many cases, watches that have the moonphase complication suffer from exactly the same problem as many chronographs: their dial layout is almost identical with one another. Not that this is so much a problem. This layout is often very practical and pleasing to the eye, but this does not diminish our craving for something […]

While many watch connoisseurs have a wide variety of watches and change them often, the clocks in one’s house tend to stay where they were initially placed.

The story of the Fifty Fathoms and Blancpain’s love affair with the oceans begins in 1953.

Robert “Bob” Maloubier was in the process of […]
