Mechanical watches and tennis don’t often go hand-in-hand - that is, until Richard Mille decided to do something about it with the RM 027 Tourbillon At the ripe old age of 24, current world number one Rafael Nadal’s knees are a mess.

Zenith recalls the pioneering days of exploration with its tourbillon alternative In 1916, Zenith produced a new escapement called the Echappement Colon - Colón being the Spanish word for Columbus, and échappement the French word for escapement.

With a little help from Jaeger-LeCoultre, we uncover the workings of the tourbillon.

One of the secret episodes in the history of classic horology is the erotic watch: wearable tech - even wearable porn - that is centuries old. The watch with erotic scenes, at first static enamel or engraved pictures concealed behind flaps, later evolved into complex automata with miniature figures performing in meticulous, if mindless, metronomic […]

Swiss Watchmakers put their best into creating timepieces of excellent quality and value A Matter of Perception Though Switzerland is often seen as a bastion of luxury watchmaking, with premium brands producing timepieces that cost as much, if not more, than automobiles, that is not to say that there is a dearth of affordable […]

If there's anything to be left wanting, we all wish that the watch was phallic instead of tonneau. After all, that would be one more function, a plumbing device for gaping holes.

When it comes to minimalism, we think that there are very few watchmakers that have achieved what H. Moser & Cie. have accomplished. The Perpetual 1, for instance, is one of the most revolutionary and simplest perpetual calendars that the horological world has ever seen. H. Moser & Cie. have decided to up the ante withRead More

Tales of legendary watch collectors are legion, like the guy with one of every Greubel-Forsey model or 50 Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas. One collection that is not contested, because its owner produced a book documenting some of its treasures, is said to be even greater than the accumulation by the brand itself. Marcus Margulies, owner […]

The oldest continuously operating house of haute horlogerie in the world has all the old-school, high-touch craftsmanship you’d expect - with some surprising new tricks up its sleeve.

A. Lange & Söhne releases the Saxonia Moonphase at the recent SIHH 2016. As fervent fans of moonphase timepieces, this piece spiked our interest. Lange's specialty German engineering and age perfected finishing art are all evident in this timepiece. A notable Lange signature to the otherwise predictable moonphase layout is the large date display at 12, above the brand inscription. The famous outsize date is a style-defining facet of A. Lange & Söhne watches. It was first showcased in 1994, together with the SAXONIA model.
