However, that does not stop them from making wonderful pieces, such as the Time Pyramid and DBS. ThisRead More

BaselWorld 2014: Belles of the Fair: Speake-Marin Magister

Speake-Marin may be a relatively new independent watchmaking brand, but its impact has been tremendous. And with the new Magister Tourbillon, it just gets better.

The Best Watches of BaselWorld 2014 (Part 2)

Aside from the fact that the Bathyscape Flyback Chronograph is absolutely, unassailably, unequivocally, Steve-McQueen-in-ice-filled-underpants cool, it also represents a union of some of the most important technical achievements in horology.

BaselWorld 2014: Belles of the Fair: H. Moser & Cie. Venturer Small Seconds

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This quote from the great Leonardo da Vinci is very apt in describing H. Moser & Cie.’s watches, and particularly the new Venturer Small Seconds. One of the things that appeals me (and probably many H. Moser & Cie. Collectors) would be the looks of their watches. The brand pridesRead More

Baselworld 2014: Hublot CEO On Being Relevant To Your Customer (Video)

The importance of responding to the needs of the customer cannot be underestimated, and it is the brands that do this the best that succeed.

BaselWorld 2014: Belles of the Fair: Girard-Perregaux Tri-Axial Tourbillion

The Best Watches Of Baselworld 2014 (Part 1)

Sure, I get it. There is an immediate emotional response to “top ten” lists. For the masochists, there is the list of the top ten hottest women on the planet who could put a serious beating on you. Topping this is former Olympian and UFC champ Ronda Rousey affectionately known as the “Arm Collector” for her penchant for snapping her opponents appendages.

Baselworld 2014: Hands On With The Zenith Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu 60mm (Live Pics)

BaselWorld 2014: A First Look At Breva Watches, Scientific Instruments For The Wrist

“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 […]

BASELWORLD 2014 - Corum Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Squelette

The Corum Admiral’s Cup was transformed from a cultivated, slightly eccentric, dress watch into a full-blown sports watch years ago.

Baselworld 2014: Hands On With The Breitling Emergency 2 (Live Pics)

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 […]
