Rolex's Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41 has a new face. Possibly the very model and design that is the most produced in the world, the Rolex Datejust is possibly the most loved and hated collection in the world of Rolex. Released at the latest Baselworld, the 'new' Datejust is now in 41 mm with a Rolesor, 2 tone case and champagne dial.

While retaining the classic Royal Oak case design, the Openworked movement hosts a new concept that is said to improve the accuracy of timekeeping. Two balance wheels are positioned parallel to each other and connected via a central staff. This design is oneRead More

Just a year ago, we reviewed the Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges. We were amazed by the design and quality of the watch. Not to be disappointed, Girard Perregaux's latest release at Baselworld 2016, the Girard Perregaux Esmeralda Tourbillon has once again impressed us with its high quality craftsmanship and mechanical expertise.

Audemars Piguet releases her latest Royal Oak Chronograph 41 mm in yellow gold (ref. 26320). While the design of the watch is essentially the same as its previous variant, Audemars Piguet takes convention and breaks it apart by its choice of gold.

Montblanc released the Heritage Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date at SIHH 2016. This watch spiked our attention because of its utilitarian design and understated beauty. It stands out from the usual time and date wristwatch primarily because of its reinterpreted dial. While not excruciatingly obvious, the unusual subdial positioning of the seconds counter juxtaposed with a larger date subdial is what makes this watch so exciting to us.

Omega opened a brand new exhibition at Milan’s Triennale Design Museum this week entitled Her Time, highlighting over 100 years of the brand’s rich history in women’s horology. This is the first time that Omega has put together such a collection of historical timepieces for women, surprising even the most ardent Omega fans, including its […]

Who doesn’t enjoy a big old birthday party? (Rhetorical question, but just in case you really really need to know, the short answer to that is, “No one worth inviting”.) Singapore - that tiny little city-state in the middle of Southeast Asia that for various reasons pretty much ended up becoming the world’s watch mecca* […]

Lausanne’s Museum of Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC) takes a fresh look at time and design with a selection of timekeepers that defy the conventions of timekeeping. When it comes to watch exhibitions we are rather spoiled here in Switzerland. There is the annual Baselworld Fair and the Grand Prix de la Haute Horlogerie Exhibition, […]

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang, the symbol of Hublot’s rebirth and an undoubted emblem of creativity and innovation. Hublot celebrates by launching a new award to recognize talented, young designers of tomorrow. The Hublot Design Prize provides an opportunity for young, independent designers to assert themselves through their creations, and […]

MB&F;’s Legacy Machine debuted last year to excellent reviews. Its past-meets-future design highlights what is essential in a wristwatch: the balance wheel (how well it keeps time), the power reserve (how long it will run) and, of course, the time display itself. Its minimalist design also accentuates the purity inherent in a simple movement, and […]

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 […]

For Basel this year, Breitling updates its SuperOcean line with the introduction of Superocean II, a bolder, better and more option varied range for diving watch fans out there.

Corum celebrates its 60th anniversary this year with a distinctive flying tourbillion timepiece with a special construction that looks like it came from the archives of Harry Houdini. The Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 Flying Tourbillon features Corum’s trademark nautical-themed case design – more about that in a minute. But the thing that grabs your eye […]

Franck Muller first introduced the Vanguard Collection just last year at their 2014 World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie (WPHH). It was quite an unexpected move for the brand to produce a collection that clearly took a step towards a more sporty design. Following the interest aroused, this year they’ve produced the Vanguard Gravity Tourbillon […]

The Portugieser is perhaps IWC’s most iconic family. Though new models have been added, the essential design codes have survived largely unchanged for 75 years. To celebrate that milestone, IWC has declared 2015 the Year of the Portugieser, and one of my favorite new models from SIHH is the Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th […]

The 25th Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, or SIHH as it is called in the trade, opened its doors today with a huge flowery cake to celebrate its quarter of a century. Legend has it that the show was formed after Cartier couldn’t stand the smell from the German sausage seller behind its BaselWorld […]

There is no such thing as a conventional Parmigiani, and there should never be something as a conventional Parmigiani. It doesn’t suit the brand. Parmigiani is all about constantly developing the art of classical watchmaking to define current and future expression of its art. With SIHH 2015 just around the corner, Parmigiani introduces a new […]

There was a time, in the not so distant past, when people discredited Hublot for being too similar to Audemars Piguet. It was unpleasant, but it was not too difficult to see why. The design, the concept, and the execution were uncannily familiar. But things have changed . The new Hublot MP-05 “LaFerrari” is oneRead More

“Design icon” is among the most abused bits of hyperbole in the Press Release Writer’s Guide, yet in a few rare instances, it actually applies. The IWC Portugieser is such an instance. Few can question that 1939 witnessed the birth of a bright horological light, and in just a few days, at SIHH, IWC […]

One thing you can say without fear of contradiction of A. Lange & Söhne enthusiasts is that they’re a detail oriented bunch; these are not people who buy watches because the company has charmed a new film star into wandering around with their watches (Lange doesn’t do celebrities) or because a sports team’s agreed to […]
