Last week Andrew and I took part in a somewhat unusual, and entirely self-imposed, challenge.

With a penchant for the avant-garde, Ulysse Nardin is a tricky customer to pin down stylistically.

One of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s finest releases for 2016 was also one of the easiest to miss. Firstly because it’s not a Reverso, secondly because it’s not really a ‘new’ release.

[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/187579238″] After their square instrument pieces, Bell & Ross has made quite an impression with their vintage collection – a range of more classically styled round pieces that often riff on the icons of aviation.
