At Baselworld Nomos introduced a new watch called Minimatik. This name is proof of the subtilty of German humor since it might actually be the most grande watch Nomos has ever created. No not by size, actually definately not by size, because with a diameter of 35.5mm most men will raise an eyebrow. They should […]

We wrote about the Panerai PAM 599, a watch produced in a special collaboration for Revolution magazine’s 10th Anniversary. This announcement of this watch sent waves across the horological universe due the uniqueness of the collaboration, (the first Panerai done with a magazine), as well as for the sum total of all the ingredients […]

The Shelby Cobra, one of the most iconic racing cars of all time, remains the stuff of legend, a car that when it first appeared, blew away the competition, and was the culmination of the efforts of one man who came with a unique idea. That man, Carroll Hall Shelby, had taken 3 years to bring […]

Well, it’s over – Baselworld, that is – although the annual storm of opinions, counter opinions, and castigation that some of our favorite watch brands generated will endure for months, if not years. Watch lovers – especially online – never met an utterly inconsequential tempest in a teapot they didn’t like and this year was […]

We wrote about the new generation HYT H3 when HYT introduced it to us before Baselworld 2015, a watch that takes the brand’s unique time telling fluid mechanism into a completely new design direction. A few days ago at Baselworld, I finally had a chance to have a closer look at this watch. However, having only […]

Perpetual calendar chronographs hold a special place in the hearts of Patek Philippe collectors. It’s been said that this complication by this brand has appeared on the covers of more auction catalogs than any other. Over the years, the 1518, 2499, 3970 and 5970 have attracted legions of devoted followers. The downside of producing beloved […]

Today, recently appointed General Manager of TAG Heuer, Guy Semon dropped a bombshell on the Revolution team with news of an upcoming watch that certainly is a provocative statement of intent.

Well, the other shoe has finally dropped: last week, Apple officially launched the Apple Watch, spawning think-pieces, hand-wringing, enthusiasm, disdain, and chains of mutual recrimination in comments sections across the Internet –in other words, it was a typical Apple product launch. We watched the keynote with as much interest as anyone, of course –but reactions from […]

When news broke of the new dial colours that Glashütte Original were introducing for the PanoReserve and PanoMaticLunar, I was particularly excited. After-all, I had grown to know about and admire the brand through these two watches, and when I was first acquainted with them, I can honestly say that I fell in love immediately. What’s […]

It’s almost half a year ago that Grönefeld’s Parallax Tourbillon was awarded “best tourbillon” in its class.

Special watches crafted for long term dealers are nothing new in the watch world. There are many examples of this kind of watch available, and while they are often rare, they usually do offer not much more than a different colour dial and a commemorative engraving. Boutique editions differ usually more, offering everything from DLC-coatings […]

Little by little, top luxury brands are embracing new technologies.

Ask a watchmaker, any watchmaker, and they will tell you that oiling a watch is a precise business. Too little and you create extra wear and tear, too much and it will overflow and be drawn away from the bearings. Yet there is a watch that uses a lot of oil, and with a lot […]
