As we move further into the Renaissance of mechanical watchmaking we see certain watch brands taking very strong positions within the watch world. A good example of this is Linde Werdelin, but on a different level the same also goes for Dubey & Schaldenbrand. Unlike Linde Werdelin, Dubey & Schaldenbrand has a much longer history, […]

After the successful launch of the Tank Francaise in 1995, an occasion that was hard to beat, La Maison presented quietly a completely new Tank model in 2002; the Tank Divan. – Steel version with automatic movement and Python strap – It was a watch that was designed from scratch and not a modernised version […]

This is something that came to our attention today and it’s appearance certainly begs the question: What heights can watchmaking reach after perfection is attained? And Is it possible to strive for even more? This one of a kind piece vividly supplies the answers, for what we have here is the rare and highly sought […]

Even when on a personal level you perhaps don’t like their style, you must love a brand like Ulysse Nardin. The brand continues to innovate and is one of the brands that continue to fuel the Renaissance of contemporary mechanical watchmaking. They do this by keeping their current collection fresh with watches like the Hourstriker […]

55 million dollars is by any measure quite a bit of money. It can buy you the car collection of either Jay Leno or Ralph Lauren (your pick), one epic night in Vegas (making Steve Wynn a very happy man in the process) or eleven of the 2012 Hublot $5 Million Dollar Bangs. It can […]

Emeralds have charmed their way into the history of civilizations for thousands of years. From Queen Cleopatra, who was infatuated with the gemstone, all the way to the Incas, who venerated their goddess Umina through a gigantic emerald, many cultures have seen some sort of power in the vivid green jewel. For over 6,000 years, […]

The narrater of this 45 minute long advertisement for the new mirror-less camera called the Leica T System begins by asking the following:” Is this the most boring film ever made?”. As a marketing move, it is certainly brilliant, showing off every single second of the 45 minute process that it takes for the aluminium […]

The Breitling Navitimer is one of those iconic watches that doesn’t need any introduction. While you might not know this watch from its famous, and very handy, slide-rule bezel, you might know it from being one of the entry level chronographs in the range, a position that the Navitimer has held since its introduction in […]

It is no secret that Piaget knows how to cater to the ladies. The recipe is a clever mix of precious metal and diamonds, brought together in uncommon shapes and fitted with a mechanical or a quartz movement. Yes, Piaget is well aware that it takes both to cover the market, since the question of […]

It’s hard to believe that the UR-103 was released over 10 years ago. Yes - for those of you still mired in denial about how terrifyingly fast the last decade has gone by - it was 2003 when we first saw the shield-shaped watch with four conical hour satellites. As a testament to how forward-looking […]

Over the years Cartier has build a stunning collection of skeleton watches. Transparency has been an integral part of the Maison’s style for decades, from the first mystery clocks created in 1912 to the skeletonised movements of the 1930s. And recently for the Fine Watch Making Collection, La Maison created the Santos 100, Santos Dumont, […]

The Zenith Pilot Montre d’Aeronef Type 20 line has certainly proven to be one of the more astute introductions into the market by former CEO, Jean-Frédéric Dufour. As a way to connect to the brand’s past, it ticks all the right boxes, with a retro styling that remains true to the originals that Zenith used […]

“We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air.” –Evangelista Torricelli, 1644 It’s a dangerous thing to start a new watch company –in addition to an almost infinite number of ill-advised possible business goofs, standing out from the crowd enough for people to notice what you are doing, as well as consistently developing […]

The Corum Admiral’s Cup was transformed from a cultivated, slightly eccentric, dress watch into a full-blown sports watch years ago. Boasting cases with a diameter of 45mm, they almost sail in a class of their own, with bold designs that nobody will every mistake for something else other than a Corum Admiral’s Cup. That by […]

While a lot of the attention on Patek Philippe at BaselWorld this year was focused (rightly so) on the new 5960 Annual Calendar in stainless steel (and speculation about what’s coming up for the 175th anniversary celebration later this year, about which Patek has so far managed the unlikely achievement of a total information blackout) […]

Compared to a diver’s watch, which has rather strict definitions of what it is required to have before it can be classed as such, the pilot’s watch remains in a kind of no-man’s land. What constitutes a pilot’s watch then depends rather more on opinion than objective fact. The fluidity at which opinion changes as to […]

The city of Brasília, is more than just the capital of Brazil. It is a city featuring some of the most astonishing architecture in the world. Unique is also that it was founded in 1960 to be the new capital of Brazil, and is therefore a so called planned city. Much the same can be […]

Like all those who write diaries, I am afraid that I missed a couple of days of my BaselWorld diary. I started well with days one through three, and then Basel got the better of me. But hey, no where in the grand rules of diary making does it say you can’t catch up later… […]

For industry insiders the volatility of the watch industry is no secret. A great idea for a new watch is often not only the starting point of an adventure in this industry, it can for be, for many unfortunately, also the end.

When you say Jaquemarts, you are instantly saying Ulysse Nardin. This complication has become a benchmark complication for the brand since the 1980’s and currently Ulysse Nardin is the only brand that still makes watches that feature Jaquemarts on the dial side of the watch. A new addition to this collection is always a special […]

Surprise was what the Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th chronograph elicited when it was first shown at BaselWorld in 2010.

For some absurd reason, there are some people who still don’t think of Bulgari as being a company that produces technical watches. This is despite the fact that they have created - with the aid of their assimilated workshops from Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta - watches such as the automata repeaters “Il Giocatore” and […]

With Patek Philippe’s status as the most well regarded brand at Basel every year, it stands to reason that any new product they introduce is looked upon with more intensity than those of anyone else.
