For 2013 Cartier goes back in history and releases one of their most sexy technical themes, the Mystery movements. A technique where the brand was famous for, in the twenties. ROTONDE de CARTIER MYSTERIEUSE For me the most exiting watch of the new collection. Case size 42mm, pink- or white gold and fitted with the […]

The Rotonde De Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon Cartier has, over its 108-year history with the men’s wristwatch, occasionally produced some visually and aurally arousing timepieces. One such watch, a magnificent yellow-gold Tortue minute repeater from the 1920s, was proudly on display during the brand’s Time Art exhibition in Singapore, which traced its history in […]

The dress watch is enjoying a grand comeback, marking a return to more compact, elegant wrist companions. While a strict definition of the dress watch will always spark controversy, dress watches tend to have clean, often minimalist dials, slim profiles and an understated but refined appeal that speaks to the other prevailing trend of ‘quiet […]

What We Know If there’s one thing to be sure of when it comes to Ming, it’s that expectations are a fool’s errand — every time you think you’ve got a handle on where the brand is headed, you can be sure that their next release will come at you from the opposite direction. So it is with their latest release, the Ming 51.01 Halo: a stripped-down reinterpretation of a dress watch and a dramatic departure from the ornate, architectural offerings we’ve seen from the brand in recent months. The new watch is a bare bones take on a Ming, with a new movement, a new 37mm case, and a material execution wholly novel for Ming. Starting from the inside out, the Halo is driven by a modified version of the La Joux-Perret Calibre 7380. The ultra-thin caliber, which is here dubbed the La Joux-Perret for MING Calibre 7380.M1, is a manually wound 3hz movement with a 90-hour power reserve. Here, the base movement has been dramatically redecorated with extensive handwork, anglage, and varied black coatings on the bridges and mainplate. Critically, it’s also just 2.7mm thick, which lets the new 37mm case (also a compact 43mm lug-to-lug) come in at just 8mm thick. That thinness is accentuated by the incredible lightness of the 51.01 Halo, courtesy of a somewhat new material for Ming: Crystallized Titanium. I say somewhat new because titanium has been a tried-and-true option for Ming over the years, but this crystallized titanium brings with it a look and character unlike anything we...

I’m guessing the gold-colored Ceramos bezel acts as a heat shield. During landing, the bezel must protect the object from scratches too, because Ceramos, a ceramic-metal composite also known as “cermet,” is very hard. It consists of 90% high-tech ceramic and 10% binder metal, hence the term “cermet,” resulting in a hardness of 1,750 Vickers.

A time-only watch may seem like one of the simplest expressions, but it’s not necessarily easy to make, nor does it necessarily come equipped with a basic, straightforward movement.

Engineered Garments x Chrome MED PAC & SHOULDER EG Like adding a banana to a smoothie or a xenomorph to the Alien franchise, when Engineered Garments collaborates with a brand, it tends to permeate the brand entirely, making the end result something new and often that much more substantive. Take, for instance, its latest project with Chrome. The MED PAC & SHOULDER EG borrows from the vintage U.S. Army Medical Bag, right down to the numbered-pocket layout, though Engineered Garments pushes the count from 16 to 17. Large side pockets and a dedicated laptop compartment give it plenty of room for daily use, while three removable straps along the bottom can carry additional gear. The shoulder and backpack straps can also be rearranged or removed entirely, giving Chrome’s functional approach a distinctly Engineered Garments treatment. Both colorways, black and olive, are available now through Chrome’s online store. Signature CS-1 Master Calendar Chronoquartz FOSSIL just launched the Signature CS-1 Master Calendar Chronoquartz, a 42mm master-calendar chronograph, marking a new chapter in the brand’s Swiss watchmaking story. Three recessed subdials sit alongside day and month windows at 12 o’clock, with a red-tipped central hand pointing to the date around the outer edge of the grooved dial. It’s powered by a Swiss Ronda 5040.F 13-jewel quartz chronograph movement and topped with a domed sapphire crystal. Flip it around and you’ll find a minted caseback with its pla...

Tonight, the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève returns to Geneva for the 26th edition of the watch industry's most prestigious awards ceremony. And this year marks a significant first: The GPHG ceremony will be conducted in English for the first time. The ceremony takes place at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva, where the winners of 19 prizes across 14 categories, including the coveted Aiguille d’Or Grand Prix (best watch overall), will be announced. The event begins at 6:30pm in Geneva (12:30pm in Eastern Standard Time). The move to English is part of a broader effort to make the GPHG more accessible to the global watch community. This year also brings changes to the award categories, including replacing the former men's and women's categories with new ones organized around the watches' characteristics. 84 watches (78 wristwatches and 6 mechanical clocks) are nominated, and they have traveled around the world as part of the GPHG exhibition, with stops in Mumbai and Bangkok before arriving in Geneva. The watches will be on display at Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva from October 29 to November 15, and after the ceremony, the winning watches will travel to London, where Watches of Switzerland will showcase the models in a public exhibit. For more information, visit the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève online.

Nope, your eyes are not deceiving you. Although it’s not called the Lamborghini Gallardo anymore, this is very much based on the car that saved the fabled Italian carmaker from extinction.
