The Apple Watch: Revolution’s Editors Weigh In
Well, the other shoe has finally dropped: last week, Apple officially launched the Apple Watch, spawning think-pieces, hand-wringing, enthusiasm, disdain, and chains of mutual recrimination in comments sections across the Internet –in other words, it was a typical Apple product launch. We watched the keynote with as much interest as anyone, of course –but reactions from […]

Oris Sponsors The 2015 Avalon International Airshow
The sound of two F/A-18F Super Hornet’s completing a low pass at 1200 kilometres per hour and with full-afterburners, is unlike anything I have ever heard in my life. At first, all seems calm enough as the fighters approach, appearing only as silent smears on the horizon to my left. A few seconds later though, […]

Opinion: Not just innovation, watchmakers must keep an eye on quality
Yesterday afternoon I had a chat over coffee with one of the luminaries of the Singapore watch-collecting world – and on his hand glinted something black, absolutely unique, and in all respects a stunner. “Some thing new?” I asked, readying my camera phone, hoping that the watch would soon migrate from his wrist to mine.Read More

Bottom Time: Ice Diving With The Bremont Supermarine 2000
Twenty minutes into the dive, I lose all feeling in my fingers. It’s a slow process - first tingling, then mild discomfort, then burning, and finally, with a strange sense of relief, my hands become like dead weights on the ends of my arms. My left hand curls like a frozen claw around the safety […]

Then comes the modest Englishman. A devout follower of the late great George Daniels, Roger Smith is committed to make the entire watch, by hand, just as they did a hundred or more years ago. Rather elusive, as he is domicile in Isle of Man, but an effable gentleman. As he knew I had aRead More

One of the biggest surprises this year came in a small package: the new UTTE Tourbillon from Arnold & Son, which is currently –as far as we have been able to determine –the thinnest hand-wound tourbillon in the world. The UTTE Tourbillon was not, according to Arnold & Son, specifically designed to be a record-breaker […]

Lange’s Engraving Dept
The engraving department within A. Lange & Sohne is perhaps rather famous. Every watch produced carries a hand engraved balance cock.
