If you’re looking for a watch with bells, whistles and some serious style, you should probably check out this feature-heavy diver, the Seiko Prospex SSC673P.

While we all know that Van Cleef & Arpels love a bit of poetry, I get the feeling that they also have a major thing for swans. Huh, what?

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT is, in marked contrast to the Polaris Automatic, a complex beast indeed, with (as you could probably guess) both chronograph and world time functionality in the one case.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Geophysic collection harks back to a time when nuclear tensions were taut between the Eastern and Western Bloc.

It’s the kind of story you could easily gloss over, or embellish, as the president of a large watch company. A collector contacts you with a rare piece.

The Rolex Cellini range could be described as ‘the Rolex you wear when you don’t want to (be seen to) wear a Rolex’.

If you’re ‘into’ watches, it’s easy to fall into a perception that a higher price naturally equates to higher value and quality.

It’s been a tough year for the luxury watch industry, and though things seem to be picking up now, the mood at SIHH in January could be described as reserved at best.

The first watch company to ever make me feel, as an adult man, that I had found “my brand”, was Officine Panerai. Why? Because what could be more appealing than the idea that the modern luxury watch you are strapping onto your wrist, is based on the dive watches worn by Italian naval commandos? Panerai’s watches are so rich in narrative, so powerful and emotive, that the first time I saw one, I knew I had to have one.
