At a press conference this week, the always high-energy luxury watch industry legend Jean-Claude Biver shared a stage with Intel and Google executives to announce the dawn of a new age in Swiss watchmaking, and he put the bastions of tradition on notice.

The story of Carl F. Bucherer began in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888, a time of unparalleled cultural and artistic expression in Europe - what we now call the Belle Époque. That year, Carl Friedrich Bucherer, an entrepreneur with a passion for horology, and his wife Luise opened their first shop on the Falkenplatz in Lucerne’s […]

A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded. Now […]

Earlier this year, IWC released the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince”, featuring an innovative and delightful “jumping star” function. This was unusual for IWC. The Schaffhausen watchmaking company is known for its finely engineered timekeeping instruments that exhibit performance and reliability in every component. It is only in one area - its […]

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

I cannot shut up about this watch. Is that bad? I feel like I ought to be at least slightly embarrassed about talking the way I do about this watch - insistently, passionately, with a level of intense affection that doesn’t seem creepy until you realise that the subject of my volubility is not actually […]

The Quatuor is the most ambitious yet singularly least understood high-watchmaking project ever undertaken by Roger Dubuis. Replace “Roger Dubuis” with “any Swiss watch brand” and you could still make a solid case for the truth of that statement. The Quatuor was first introduced to us in late 2012 and officially at the 2013 Salon […]

The art of scrimshaw is surrounded by layer upon layer of romance, tradition and controversy. Originating on whaling ships, where whalebone and marine ivory (mostly from walrus tusks) was plentiful, scrimshaw involves engraving on bone or ivory, with pigment applied to bring out the design. One of the great classics of American literature, Herman Melville’s […]

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the calibre 9452 MC in the history of Cartier’s high watchmaking department. Those unfamiliar with the evolution and progress of Cartier Fine Watchmaking will see the calibre 9452 - a manual-winding flying tourbillon - as just another reference in Cartier’s vast panoply of complicated movements. It’s not […]

The moon wasn’t always female. Well actually, the moon was never female, because technically it has no gender - it is an inanimate chunk of rock - but you know what I mean. People think of the moon as being feminine. It’s interesting to note that in most ancient cultures, the moon was seen as […]

I like yellow gold. I know this is not a popular choice by any means, but I’m not going to apologise for it or anything. There is something about the unabashed richness of the hue in question that I find impossible to ignore. Rose gold, when used sparingly, can impart incredible warmth to a timepiece. […]

The Chinese Consumer is changing. Gone are the days when shoppers flocked to gaudy and bling items with visible branding all over them. One can imagine that the Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. They are now looking for less 'in-the-face' items but more subtle forms of materialism.

Extraordinary moment. A watch that transmits all the achievements of Berthoud as the father of French marine chronometer in a brilliantly contemporary timepiece. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has revived the mythology of one of horology’s most mythical names with beautiful modern eloquence. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is better known as the head honcho of Chopard timepieces, but he has […]
