Let’s face it - you’re here because you forgot Valentine’s Day and are currently feeling an uncomfortable kinship with the proverbial frog in a pot (rather alarmingly already at level “onsen”). Never fear, because we heard your cry of panic and anguish from afar and have put our “Save The Day For REVOLUTIONaries In Need” […]

The standout novelty for A. Lange & Söhne at SIHH 2014, the Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar “Terraluna” is a complicated watch that features a constant force 14 day power reserve, a regulator style dial and the trademark Big Date.

This year’s SIHH suggested that, even more so than last year, 2014 will be the year of women’s watches with brands from Ralph Lauren to Richard Mille via Parmigiani and Audemars all presenting new pieces made exclusively for the female market. And, if Baselworld previews and leaked novelties are anything to go by, then the […]

Since its creation in 2011, the Detroit based Shinola has become known for a number of quality products including bicycles, journals and watches. The company pays homage to the American worker by maintaining its watch manufacturing factory in Detroit, Michigan. Shinola believes in the quality of American made products and offers its support to […]

There are watches and then there is the Rebellion 540 Magnum Tourbillon. Actually it is only the tourbillon part of its name that gives it away that we are actually talking about a watch, and not an assault rifle or muscle car. That’s not to say that the Rebellion 540 Magnum Tourbillon doesn’t have anything […]

During the last few years, the larger watch trend was dominating the Cartier watch collection quite a bit. We have seen watches like the first piece in the Fine Watch Making Collection, the hefty 46mm Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon, the really cool extra flat 46 mm Ballon bleu X-tra flat and of course the many […]

One of the most unusual and interesting pieces of horological exotica I can remember ever seeing had a somewhat rocky start in life: the watch (or watches, as there are now several incarnations) made by Zenith and known as the Christophe Colomb. Zenith was going through a period of experimentation, under its former CEO Thierry […]

One of the standout novelties for A. Lange & Söhne at SIHH 2014, the 1815 Tourbillon is the first watch to finally make the accuracy claims of the tourbillon testable in a real life situation. Coming with two patented mechanisms, one for stopping the tourbillon cage, and another for resetting the seconds hand to zero, […]

Name a watch brand that doesn’t have a tourbillon in its collection? They’re still out there, but their number seems to decrease every year. Even though many brands don’t make their tourbillons in-house, it does illustrate how technically complicated movements have become more and more a part of the general landscape in the watch world, […]

Revolution’s Sophie Furley and Adi Soon leave the SIHH and all its top models to meet a real life top model, Adriana Lima, who was in Geneva to celebrate the launch of IWC’s new Aquatimer collection…and yes, she is as gorgeous in real life!

While the Fine Watch Making Collection is getting all the attention and is developing further into a series of the most dazzling complications, Cartier has certainly not forgotten what their strength has always been throughout all those years.

Last year at Basel World, Hautlence announced their first, shall we say, ‘entry level’ model, the Destination! It took a while before the finished product became available but delivery to the dealers recently started in December 2013, right before Christmas. Let’s re-cap what kind of watch the Destination is and how it fits in the […]

The roots of Parmigiani as a brand are in the restoration of complicated watches and clocks from horological history. This remains the passion of founder Michel Parmigiani, who even now, despite the success of the brand, still finds the time to devote himself to the type of restoration projects from which his horological passion came […]

When Audemars Piguet first launched the Royal Oak in 1972, it was termed a very bold move. Nobody in the industry had such an audacity to come up with such an unconventional design, let alone the idea of having a watch that is made from stainless steel and costing more than a Patek Philippe inRead More

BANG! Just as Richemont’s yearly watch-party, the SIHH, was starting last week, LVMH announced the appointment of Jean-Claude Biver as head of LVMH’s watch department. The timing of this announcement was surely not chosen in vain, perhaps in a slight attempt to upstage the party of the Richemont group and the SIHH brands. This announcement […]

When Jean-Frédéric Dufour took over the helm of Zenith a lot changed. The brand went back to basics with a more sober design and as well, quite unique for such a pedigreed watch brand, more sober prices. This change in strategy served Zenith well, re-igniting the enthusiasm of many watch connoisseurs who had felt detached […]

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.

Special 1815 Langes do not come by frequently. And one which is made with a special complication for to celebrate a retailer’s Anniversary is even more special.

The Cartier Fine Watchmaking Collection has become one of the most closely observed in the world of horology, and with good reason.

Basel Fair, 1957; Piaget stunned the world with the introduction of Caliber 9P. The importance of this movement for Piaget cannot be stressed enough.

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