Irish pop-rock icons U2 once sang “Two Hearts Beating As One”, a phenomenon that’s no stranger to any of us, but in watchmaking, we call this Resonance! And resonance is mastered by only a handful of watchmakers, one of whom is Armin Strom! The concept of resonance is far from new, and was discovered by […]

Benrus, founded in 1921 in New York City, is an American brand that tends to fall in the shadows of historic counterparts like Hamilton and Bulova, but it played a comparable role in supplying military personnel in the mid-20th century.

One of my worst traits-according to my husband, my therapist, and the middle school youth pastor-is that I am greedy. Unfortunately, I have to agree. It’s not that I want everything; it’s just that I want choices. Well, luckily for me, dear Reader, Tissot has delivered. Their latest release, the Tissot Classic Dream, powered by the Powermatic 80 movement, now comes in seven new references. For others, this may feel like overkill, but for me? It’s just right. Each of the new Classic Dream models has all the makings of a daily driver. These dress watches clock in at 40mm, but don’t wear large on the wrist. Part of that is thanks to the watch’s proportions: Tissot has given the simple, no-frills dial plenty of room to “breathe,” leaving only the thinnest sliver of stainless steel as the case. Add in a variety of dial colors and metal options-yellow gold PVD, rose gold PVD, blue sunray, black sunray, you name it-and there’s truly something for every style. And if that’s not enough, each watch comes with the option of a leather strap or a bracelet. It’s a Swiss buffet of options, if you ask me. The real star here is the Powermatic 80 movement, powering the Classic Dream series for the first time. As Tissot notes, this makes Swiss automatic watches even more accessible to a broader audience. The Powermatic 80 promises (you guessed it) up to 80 hours of power reserve and consistent performance for all-day, everyday wear, with an average daily precision...

Luminox Navy 3050 Pirate Watch not only throws the daring spirit of pirates at sea, but also supports the marine conservation.

The Classics Carrée collection is Frederique Constant’s take on a timeless style for the watch industry, the rectangular dress watch. Indeed, the Classics Carrée isn’t exactly carrée (square in French) as its name suggests, but more of a compact, lightly elongated shape. First introduced in 2003, the watch has been reimagined over the years in […]

Raymond Weil continues its run of affordable, retro-stylish Millesime with the Millesime Moon Phase Chronos Japan Edition. A collaboration with Chronos Japan Edition – one of the world’s best watch magazines but published only in Japanese – the latest Millesime was designed with the help of the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Masayuki Hirota. Based on the regular production version, the Chronos Japan edition is a 35 mm in diameter while its design underlines Mr Hirota’s keen eye, especially for vintage-inspired aesthetics and watch geek-detail. This includes the Art Deco-style typography for the hour numerals, and the photorealistic moon based on NASA images. And despite being made largely for the Japanese market, this edition is available internationally via the brand’s online store. Initial thoughts I like the original versions of the Millesime; they are appealing watches. Though the build is basic, the Millesime is priced affordably and appropriately. More broadly, the Millesime’s launch two years ago marked something of a renaissance for Raymond Weil – one of the most successful watch brands globally in the 1980s and 1990s – at least in terms of mechanical watches that enthusiasts paid attention to. The standard versions of the Millesime are numerous, and mostly share the same design, so it’s really the limited edition runs that are interesting. And fortunately there aren’t too many limited editions, at least for now. The Chronos edition qualifies as ...

Spike Lee, Gary Striewski, and a lot of great watches.

They say two is one and one is none. That’s how I’ve often felt about sports watches in my collection. I’m truly blessed to have a well-rounded collection of sports watches but…that doesn’t always scratch the itch. Particularly when it comes to Monta, I’ve always coveted 1-2 models at a time (and have owned several at the same time). Well, they’re certainly not helping my watch “itch” with their latest Triumph V2.  If you’ve been following Monta since their early days, you’ll know that the OG Triumph wasn’t just any launch, it was the watch that set the tone for everything that came after. Back in 2017, the Triumph put Monta on the map, proving that this small independent out of St. Louis could hold its own against the big brands in the industry. I bought my own Triumph a few years ago after it had been calling my name for some time, and was lucky enough that Mike and Justin (the brand’s founders) let me customize mine with a polished bezel instead of the standard brushed one. Did my little experiment inspire them to reinvent the Triumph? jk, I’m not that influential, but it did add just enough luxury to the otherwise rugged design that I was hoping for. And it’s been fun to see them lean further into that direction with this new version. Earlier this year in Geneva, Zach Kazan and I had the chance to sit down with Monta’s co-founder, Mike DiMartini, who pulled a few early Triumph concept samples out on his laptop to show us. These were rou...
