TAG Heuer gives the world a teaser of its new smart watch: The TAG Heuer Connected. It will be unveiled on November 9th in New York

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

For a long time now, Grand Seiko has represented some of the finest value in mechanical horology today – but we’re here basically to, re­write that old wives tale. Just earlier in the week, at a rather cozy meeting with Seiko at their office here in Singapore, we found ourselves in the company of this […]

Three weeks ago, a very special IWC Portugieser timepiece was first shown to selected friends of IWC and REVOLUTION - a unique piece commemorating the 10th anniversary of the world’s most influential watch publication. One week ago, the hammer went down on the IWC Portugieser Hand Wound Eight Days Edition “75th Anniversary” Unique Piece For REVOLUTION, […]

I cannot shut up about this watch. Is that bad? I feel like I ought to be at least slightly embarrassed about talking the way I do about this watch - insistently, passionately, with a level of intense affection that doesn’t seem creepy until you realise that the subject of my volubility is not actually […]

Exclusive interview with Georges Kern, CEO of IWC. We discuss diverse subjects from the IWC keys to success and to management lessons. Part 1.

Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.

A watch is a very personal thing. There is absolutely no question about this. However, as with so many things that we enjoy in life, our pleasure in watches is enhanced when we get to share it with friends and loved ones. My family aren’t actually very keen on watches, which means they’re frequently mystified by […]

Confession #1: I have a weakness for watches with the dead seconds complication. I said as much last year when I told someone I could spend the rest of my life staring at this particular mechanism, and then he went and quoted me on the internet. Thanks a lot, bro. Confession #2: I just spent […]

For this weeks Spot the Watch, we take a look at some of the interesting timepieces that Simon Cowell owns

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 […]

Hands on review and analysis of the Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic True Second. Traditional, classical, but with a mechanical twist. Deadbeat seconds, seconde morte.

The art of scrimshaw is surrounded by layer upon layer of romance, tradition and controversy. Originating on whaling ships, where whalebone and marine ivory (mostly from walrus tusks) was plentiful, scrimshaw involves engraving on bone or ivory, with pigment applied to bring out the design. One of the great classics of American literature, Herman Melville’s […]

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the calibre 9452 MC in the history of Cartier’s high watchmaking department. Those unfamiliar with the evolution and progress of Cartier Fine Watchmaking will see the calibre 9452 - a manual-winding flying tourbillon - as just another reference in Cartier’s vast panoply of complicated movements. It’s not […]

A round up of Watches and Wonders 2015, as well as our top 5 picks featuring brands such as JLC, A Lange and Sohne, Vacheron Constantin, Montblanc, and IWC.

The moon wasn’t always female. Well actually, the moon was never female, because technically it has no gender - it is an inanimate chunk of rock - but you know what I mean. People think of the moon as being feminine. It’s interesting to note that in most ancient cultures, the moon was seen as […]

Review and analysis of the Lange 1815 200th Anniversary F. A. Lange in honey colored gold. With historical comparisons and commentary. Original photographs and price.

This is the third year running that IWC have chosen to showcase novelties from their Portofino collection during Watches & Wonders, and it’s not difficult to see why. As the brand’s most relaxed and philosophically accessible collection, the suave and easygoing Portofino lends itself well to the Hong Kong fair, which is far later in […]
