In the past, Breitling’s calibres were assembled and refined to chronometer standards from commercially available ébauches, ranging from Lemania-based movements (the calibre B11 and B12 were based on Lemania 1873 and 187 calibres, respectively) to Valjoux 7750-series and ETA 2892 movements (the latter, equipped with Dubois Dépraz chronograph modules). Then in 2009, the company revealed […]

If there's anything to be left wanting, we all wish that the watch was phallic instead of tonneau. After all, that would be one more function, a plumbing device for gaping holes.

Tales of legendary watch collectors are legion, like the guy with one of every Greubel-Forsey model or 50 Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas. One collection that is not contested, because its owner produced a book documenting some of its treasures, is said to be even greater than the accumulation by the brand itself. Marcus Margulies, owner […]

De Bethune presents the DB25 World Traveller, an intelligent watch featuring a second time zone and world time expressed with a mysterious display. We found this piece to be particularly exciting because of its signature De Bethune characteristics, brilliant designs matched with well-made and finished movements.

I assembled the new Panerai movement the other day. I wish there was a way to rephrase that sentence so I could accurately convey how challenging I found it to be. To be absolutely fair, it was at the end of a long week. You may think that Watches & Wonders is more chilled out […]

Tudor was founded by none other than the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, in 1946 to be an affordable alternative to Rolex, using the parent company’s cases but fitting them with third-party movements to keep prices lower. With a few exceptions, the early Tudor watches largely mimicked Rolex models, and even sometimes bore the Rolex […]

The technical and aesthetic challenges that have to be surmounted in crafting a fine tourbillon are reasons why they are especially prized. One very basic problem, is power. Mainsprings should be kept as weak as possible in order to reduce wear, but they need to be powerful enough to deliver sufficient energy to keep the […]

SIHH 2016 can hardly be said to be spectacular nor lackluster. As usual, we see some brands go on a decline with questionable releases, and some which we applaud loudly on the stands and in our hearts. The 5 pieces that I have selected are from some of the brands that I have been a fan of for quite some time now.

The good thing about watch collecting is that it’s completely race agnostic – crossing any perceived cultural and language barriers. But being able to read and soak up knowledge about the latest and greatest watches in a language other than your first can be a pain at times – and especially so in Asia! WeRead More

Last year, H. Moser CEO made a cheeky poke at the Smart Watch genre with their pre-Basel sneak peak announcement that they too will be in the game. And revealed the Moser Perpetual 1 as the smart watch…semantically, quite correct, though not quite what the industry watchers were expecting. This year, he pulls off yet anotherRead More

The question “What makes a women’s watch” is about as easy to answer as the question “What makes a woman”. In other words, there isn’t an answer, unless we stick to the naïve methods of differentiating by external, biological or anatomical terms. Now, we are intelligent, sentient beings whose personalities transcend the limits of gender. […]

Just last week, Montblanc gave us a pre-SIHH glimpse of the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph LE100. Truth be told, we are once again impressed with their lineup. Although not an entirely new model, this redesigned limited edition ExoTourbillon reminds us that Montblanc is a force to be reckoned with. It’s no longer just ‘that pen brand’. TheRead More

I cannot shut up about this watch. Is that bad? I feel like I ought to be at least slightly embarrassed about talking the way I do about this watch - insistently, passionately, with a level of intense affection that doesn’t seem creepy until you realise that the subject of my volubility is not actually […]

A watch is a very personal thing. There is absolutely no question about this. However, as with so many things that we enjoy in life, our pleasure in watches is enhanced when we get to share it with friends and loved ones. My family aren’t actually very keen on watches, which means they’re frequently mystified by […]

The art of scrimshaw is surrounded by layer upon layer of romance, tradition and controversy. Originating on whaling ships, where whalebone and marine ivory (mostly from walrus tusks) was plentiful, scrimshaw involves engraving on bone or ivory, with pigment applied to bring out the design. One of the great classics of American literature, Herman Melville’s […]

I like yellow gold. I know this is not a popular choice by any means, but I’m not going to apologise for it or anything. There is something about the unabashed richness of the hue in question that I find impossible to ignore. Rose gold, when used sparingly, can impart incredible warmth to a timepiece. […]
