There Can Be Only One - The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pocket Time Instrument
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 […]

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the calibre 9452 MC in the history of Cartier’s high watchmaking department.

Review: Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Ultra Slim
Montblanc is definitely riding the high wind with its new line up. They are challenging prices within the industry and are indeed making the news. Like with this ultra slim, we thought it was executed exceedingly well and serves its intended purpose. The only qualm that we have with it, is its uncanny similarity to Jaeger LeCoultre's Master Compressor collection.

Racing Time Belgium Style With Raidillon

When gentlemen discuss watches, the name Chaumet is not one that comes up often.
