One wonders how it is possible for watch companies to constantly pump out new products for eager watch lovers every year. The pace of innovation is necessarily fast, with competition abounding from every quarter, and the fickle crowd waiting to abandon yesterday’s darling for today’s star. Couple that with the fact that every watch that […]

The roots of Parmigiani as a brand are in the restoration of complicated watches and clocks from horological history.

This was the question I was pondering when the Piaget Altiplano 900P was placed in my hands. Piaget of course, are the masters of the Ultra Thin watch, having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this particular horological niche throughout their history. The brand holds world records for thinness in up to 12 categories, and for this, there is no denying that despite other brands introducing ultra thin watches from time to time, Piaget have shown that their focus has reaped rewards, and also what can be done when a movement, stripped to the bare essentials, can produce a wonder of mechanical beauty.

The Rolex Submariner, the Omega Seamaster Professional and the Cartier Santos Galbee are classics that are more often than not worn on a bracelet. You’d wonder sometimes if these watches would have been the successes they are now if they had only been offered on a strap. Even more so for watches like the Audemars […]

The tones of Big Ben, the sinister sound of a clock sounding midnight in a scary movie and of course the recent tolling of bells worldwide to mark the new year; timepieces that sound to mark the full hour are memorable and all around us, yet are very rarely incorporated in a wristwatch.

The first watch made by the Glashütte-based firm of Moritz Grossmann that I saw in person was the Benu wristwatch, which the company debuted –in one of the most low-key launches I can remember –in 2010.

Earlier this month I had a chance to visit the in November re-opened Geneva Boutique at 35 Rue du Rhône. I remember the Boutique from last year, when it was just one of the European Boutiques, nothing more, nothing less.

Straps are often a point of discussion when it comes to watches and especially when it is about vintage time pieces. A good strap and then I do not mean, well made, but good from a style point of view, can add só much to the presence of the watch. Nowadays almost any brand presents […]

Lange novelties are always interesting…and last week, I attended the launch event of the latest Lange novelty to hit the press, pre-SIHH.
