SIHH 2015: The Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton

In its various forms, the Astrotourbillon is emblematic of Cartier’s multifaceted approach to haute horlogerie. Launched in 2010 after five years of research and development, the groundbreaking movement design freed the tourbillion from its static role compensating for the effects of gravity and allowed it to circle the dial in an elongated carriage with an […]

Pre Baselworld 2015: Arnold & Son Golden Wheel

When it comes to haute horlogerie, Arnold & Son is often a brand that is overlooked by many purveyors. There is little wonder, since the British watchmaker is often overshadowed by their more illustrious counterparts like Patek Philippe.

Pre-SIHH 2015: The Greubel Forsey GMT Black

Stephen Forsey was in New York in December to introduce the new GMT Black –a black DLC coated, titanium-cased version of the Greubel Forsey GMT –and over lunch, he told me that one of his greatest sources of frustration was the extent to which Greubel Forsey watches seem to constantly be discussed in the context […]

Calling All Brands: Limit Limited Editions !!!

When you submerge yourself into the wonderful world of watchmaking it is normal to think that you are holding something special when it is a limited edition.

On The Wrist: The Long Awaited Hautlence Destination

Last year at Basel World, Hautlence announced their first, shall we say, ‘entry level’ model, the Destination! It took a while before the finished product became available but delivery to the dealers recently started in December 2013, right before Christmas.

Whirlwind From Glashütte: Moritz Grossmann Introduces The Benu Tourbillon

The first watch made by the Glashütte-based firm of Moritz Grossmann that I saw in person was the Benu wristwatch, which the company debuted –in one of the most low-key launches I can remember –in 2010.  The Benu was a watch very much to my personal tastes: discreet, very precisely made, with a sober beauty […]

One of the most dramatic technological innovations in recent memory is the OMEGA Co-Axial caliber 8508.

New Piaget Exhibition In Geneva; Gold & Color

Gold & Color is the title of Piaget’s new exhibition in their Time Gallery. Two words that summarize a large portion of Piaget’s rich history. When Piaget wrote watchmaking history by introducing the 2mm thin manual wind caliber 9P in 1957, it was not about technical prowess, but much more about opening up a world […]

The Ridiculously Beautiful Omega Ladymatic “Diamonds And Pearls”

To say we saw a lot of watches at BaselWorld 2013 is to say nothing at all, but there are always a few that really stick with us.  And with more or less a straight fifty-fifty split between boys and girls at the office, we’re not apt to ignore ladies’ watches either.  A couple of […]
