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. […]

Not too long back, we have done a review article on the thought-provoking Endeavour Concept Watch. The Endeavour Concept Watch is a timepiece that is completely devoid of any details on the dial, with the watch face featuring only the watchmaker’s signature fumé sunburst dial with three watch hands. Following that, H. Moser & Cie. had decidedRead More

Who has the better watch? Is it the Romain Jerome Spacecraft-Batman or MB&F;'s HM5 and HMX?

A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded. Now […]

Earlier this year, IWC released the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince”, featuring an innovative and delightful “jumping star” function. This was unusual for IWC. The Schaffhausen watchmaking company is known for its finely engineered timekeeping instruments that exhibit performance and reliability in every component. It is only in one area - its […]

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

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 […]

Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.

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 Quatuor is the most ambitious yet singularly least understood high-watchmaking project ever undertaken by Roger Dubuis. Replace “Roger Dubuis” with “any Swiss watch brand” and you could still make a solid case for the truth of that statement. The Quatuor was first introduced to us in late 2012 and officially at the 2013 Salon […]

Extraordinary moment. A watch that transmits all the achievements of Berthoud as the father of French marine chronometer in a brilliantly contemporary timepiece. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has revived the mythology of one of horology’s most mythical names with beautiful modern eloquence. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is better known as the head honcho of Chopard timepieces, but he has […]

Master watchmaker, Dominique Renaud is a man who has lived and dreamt up some wild horology. From his early days at Audemars Piguet, to the establishment of Audemars Piguet Renaud and Papi in 1992, Monsieur Renaud’s name has been attributed towards helping many big names in the Swiss watch industry realize their horological ambitions. Late last […]

We’ve been waiting for this watch for a very long time. Well, in a sense I guess you could say we’ve been waiting for it for 10 years, but you know what I mean. What we’re looking at right now is a one-of-a-kind timepiece - yes, a limited edition of one. The IWC Portugieser Hand […]

The watch and jewelry season has just ended, and we can now go on to enjoy the summer with grace and style. Criticized as often as it is praised, Saint-Tropez remains a small village in the South of France where the warbling of the crickets and the smell of lavender permeate your entire body with […]

Who doesn’t enjoy a big old birthday party? (Rhetorical question, but just in case you really really need to know, the short answer to that is, “No one worth inviting”.) Singapore - that tiny little city-state in the middle of Southeast Asia that for various reasons pretty much ended up becoming the world’s watch mecca* […]

Is it strange to refer to a men’s watch, one crafted in masculine carbon none the less, as a beauty? Not when it comes to a de Grisogono. Fawaz Gruosi, founder and CEO of the brand, has its own approach towards designing watches, and beauty always seem to be the main ingredient. Followed right by […]

Setting a watch with diamonds is by no means an easy task. Especially when you talk about high jewellery, or Haute Joaillerie, watch things become very complicated. It is there where the design phase of these watches is critical. Here, a designer not only determines which type of setting he wants to see, but also if […]

Lausanne’s Museum of Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC) takes a fresh look at time and design with a selection of timekeepers that defy the conventions of timekeeping. When it comes to watch exhibitions we are rather spoiled here in Switzerland. There is the annual Baselworld Fair and the Grand Prix de la Haute Horlogerie Exhibition, […]

This edition does not come as a surprise, given how Omega has been supporting the Olympics over generations. But what do we think about co-branding and the whole gimmick of pop culture? After all Omega is the watch behind the numbered 007 metal pumping, muscle throbing murderer.

There was a time when the American watch industry was a fierce compeditor of the Swiss. Some believe this is once again the case, although now the Americans are armed with the Apple Watch. Personally, I think that for some, the Apple Watch might be an “add on” to their collection, but I am not […]

At Baselworld Nomos introduced a new watch called Minimatik. This name is proof of the subtilty of German humor since it might actually be the most grande watch Nomos has ever created. No not by size, actually definately not by size, because with a diameter of 35.5mm most men will raise an eyebrow. They should […]

Well, it’s over – Baselworld, that is – although the annual storm of opinions, counter opinions, and castigation that some of our favorite watch brands generated will endure for months, if not years.

The Rolex Daydate, or rather known affectionately as the “president’s watch”, is perhaps one of Rolex’s most iconic models. The Daydate is a symbol of success and power, which is possibly one of the main reasons why the rich and famous are always seen wearing a Rolex Daydate on their wrists. In this year’s Baselworld, Rolex had decidedRead More
