Antoine Tavan 1805 Piece Unique
Two of the great joys of Baselworld are meeting new people and discovering wonderful new watches. During this year’s annual pilgrimage, a friend introduced me to a modest, softspoken gentleman. The pink gold watch on his wrist seemed almost out of place – to me, it did not suit him. The man was Roger Zarzoso, […]

Baselworld 2015: Hands On With The Glashütte Original PanoReserve & PanoMaticLunar In Blue (Live Pics)
When news broke of the new dial colours that Glashütte Original were introducing for the PanoReserve and PanoMaticLunar, I was particularly excited. After-all, I had grown to know about and admire the brand through these two watches, and when I was first acquainted with them, I can honestly say that I fell in love immediately. What’s […]

SIHH 2015: Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech
In 2010, Panerai created an instant success by offering the Luminor Submersible in an ancient and beautiful material closely linked with the sea: bronze. The gleaming cases began life sharing a similar appearance, but age and use would act on each to create a unique patina. This year Panerai surprises us with another groundbreaking material, though […]

SIHH 2015: Richard Mille Tourbillon Fleur and Diamond Twister
Complex and beautiful mechanical art is not limited to horology. The Age of Reason gave rise to myriad efforts to understand nature’s inner workings, and this in turn motivated the mechanically and artistically inclined to devise and create miniature automata in the form of animals, insects and flowers. Richard Mille’s new RM 1902 Tourbillon Fleur continues these traditions […]

SIHH Diary – Day Two
Today was a great day for the ladies at the SIHH. It started at Parmigiani with a beautiful Tonda skeleton with an opaque dial. It seemed a little counter-productive to spend all that time polishing and angling to then hide the movement, but strangely enough the lace-like silhouette of the skeleton movement below the dial […]

IWC listens to its collectors and have shrunk the yacht club chrono. It is now 43mm instead of the 45mm it once was. A great move by the brand by any standards.

Pre-Basel 2015: Breguet Introduces Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde Ref. 7097
Breguet’s claims to fame are many, to put it mildly –his list of firsts, and improvements on the designs of others, is one of the longest in the entire history of horology (his work on and experiments with escapements alone would keep a bevy of grad students in horological history busy for years, if there […]

L.U. Chopard Engine One Tourbillon: Hands on Review
Automobile and horology have always been synonymous together; it is as though both of them shares an invisible but closely knotted bond since the day both of them crossed path. The L.U.

Master Meets Masterpiece: Benzingers Personal Take On IWC’s Tourbillon Mystère
They are no strangers to each other; Jochen Benzinger teamed up with IWC to create for example the quite outrageous Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Squelette. Outrageous in a sense that it simply makes you want to head straight to the marina, raise the main sail and set on a course to India, while parking yourself on […]

One thing that impresses us about the Japanese would be their great attention to intricate details. The integrity of their efforts are telling- products from Lexus and Canon can easily testify that.

Star Power: Up Close And Personal With The Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon 1 From Jaeger LeCoultre
The Gyrotourbillon 1 was first introduced by Jaeger LeCoultre in 2004 as what would be the first of a series of multi-axis tourbillon wristwatches, the theoretical goal of which was to create variations on the tourbillon suitable for a wristwatch rather than a pocket watch. Each of the Gyrotourbillon wristwatches has a different configuration of […]

Another Word For Entry-Level? Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique
It doesn’t feel right, calling a watch like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique entry-level.

Of course this is not the case with this Reverso, since no corners were cut to create this watch, yet […]

In Plain Sight: Revealing The Secrets Of F. P. Journe’s Resonance Chronometer
This story is something of a mea culpa. Many years ago, when I was yet green with youth and correspondingly filled with overweening self-confidence, an independent watchmaker –a respected one; a student of the work of such luminaries as Janvier and Breguet –named Francois Paul Journe, came out with a most intriguing watch.
