The importance of responding to the needs of the customer cannot be underestimated, and it is the brands that do this the best that succeed. (By the way: see our previous article on that way that some brands have used advertising to communicate to the public.) Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO, tells us about the brand’s […]

Smaller, independent brands often live a challenging life. Limited resources have to be stretched to cover everything from customer service to social media presence and yet, in order to stay in business, the collection also has to be developed further. This is perhaps the biggest challenge because if you want to achieve some sort of […]

The Tourbillion is a complication that was created to optimize precision in timekeeping. Girard-Perregaux has always produced some of the most beautiful tourbillons, and this year, they upped the ante to further this feat, through the use of a Tri-Axial Tourbillion. The Tourbillion, a mechanism that was initially created by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1795, is used toRead More

As we move further into the Renaissance of mechanical watchmaking we see certain watch brands taking very strong positions within the watch world. A good example of this is Linde Werdelin, but on a different level the same also goes for Dubey & Schaldenbrand. Unlike Linde Werdelin, Dubey & Schaldenbrand has a much longer history, […]

This story is something of a mea culpa. Many years ago, when I was yet green with youth and correspondingly filled with overweening self-confidence, an independent watchmaker –a respected one; a student of the work of such luminaries as Janvier and Breguet –named Francois Paul Journe, came out with a most intriguing watch. That watch was […]

The Omega Speedmaster, also affectionately known as the “Moonwatch”, is perhaps one of the most iconic and recognized timepieces in the world of horology thanks to its provenance as the first watch that went onto the moon in 1969. In this year’s BaselWorld, Omega decides to add two more Speedmasters into their collection- the OmegaRead More

Many watch brands have close ties to a single car brand, but it is Chopard that generously proclaims its love for all cars….but only if they are vintage! This could have something to do with the fact that Chopard’s co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, has a true passion for vintage sports cars and is known for occasionally […]

Sure, I get it. There is an immediate emotional response to “top ten” lists. For the masochists, there is the list of the top ten hottest women on the planet who could put a serious beating on you. Topping this is former Olympian and UFC champ Ronda Rousey affectionately known as the “Arm Collector” for her penchant for snapping her opponents appendages.

While most men have a preference for round watches, women dare to be different. So it is no wonder that a watch like the Girard Perregaux Cat’s Eye is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary already. With its exceptional oval shape, the Cat’s Eye collection certainly has a unique presence that appeals to women, otherwise the collection […]

Earlier this year Grönefeld launched their amazing new Parallax Tourbillon. You can still find our report HERE, but the gentlemen had something else coming up, where they were pretty suspicious about earlier this year. This week Tim & Bart Grönefeld presented their new One Hertz! The new One Hertz is part of series of timepieces […]

If there’s one thing that MB&F; positively excel at doing, it’s forcing people to re-examine their ideas of timekeeping and timekeepers. Looking at the new MB&F; Legacy Machine 101 (LM101) is like looking backwards and forwards in time simultaneously. When I first met the LM1, I said that it would be the only watch that […]

This is something that came to our attention today and it’s appearance certainly begs the question: What heights can watchmaking reach after perfection is attained? And Is it possible to strive for even more? This one of a kind piece vividly supplies the answers, for what we have here is the rare and highly sought […]

Even when on a personal level you perhaps don’t like their style, you must love a brand like Ulysse Nardin. The brand continues to innovate and is one of the brands that continue to fuel the Renaissance of contemporary mechanical watchmaking. They do this by keeping their current collection fresh with watches like the Hourstriker […]

55 million dollars is by any measure quite a bit of money. It can buy you the car collection of either Jay Leno or Ralph Lauren (your pick), one epic night in Vegas (making Steve Wynn a very happy man in the process) or eleven of the 2012 Hublot $5 Million Dollar Bangs. It can […]

Cartier has designed a series of amazing Tank watches in the period 1917-1935. These vintage Tanks are adored by collectors and are often seen as the ultimate […]

The narrater of this 45 minute long advertisement for the new mirror-less camera called the Leica T System begins by asking the following:” Is this the most boring film ever made?”. As a marketing move, it is certainly brilliant, showing off every single second of the 45 minute process that it takes for the aluminium […]

The Breitling Navitimer is one of those iconic watches that doesn’t need any introduction. While you might not know this watch from its famous, and very handy, slide-rule bezel, you might know it from being one of the entry level chronographs in the range, a position that the Navitimer has held since its introduction in […]

“International Geophysical Year” sounds, to the modern ear, about as sexy as a road accident, but despite the dull name, that year and the events surrounding it gave birth to a watch that many collectors today think is one of the sexiest of all time: the Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic. The Geophysic is a true connoisseur’s […]

A conservative estimate is that I saw 600 watches in my 3½ days at BaselWorld. When asked to choose my three favourites, all I could do was groan, “Impossible!” There were so many spectacular new pieces – and I don’t mean just the silly-priced stuff – that I can’t even devise a mental “filter”. Do […]

Compared to a diver’s watch, which has rather strict definitions of what it is required to have before it can be classed as such, the pilot’s watch remains in a kind of no-man’s land. What constitutes a pilot’s watch then depends rather more on opinion than objective fact. The fluidity at which opinion changes as to […]

The city of Brasília, is more than just the capital of Brazil. It is a city featuring some of the most astonishing architecture in the world. Unique is also that it was founded in 1960 to be the new capital of Brazil, and is therefore a so called planned city. Much the same can be […]

There’s something about a dive watch that emanates an unassailable image of unabashed cool. We’re talking Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane jamming in ice underpants cool. Maybe it has to do with the rakish élan perpetuated by 007 pairing his white dinner jacket with the Rolex Submariner ref. 6538 on a Nato strap. You could easily imagine him shucking shantung and diving into the sea to demolish the assembled forces of SMERSCH with nothing more than a sharpened clamshell, a bevy of torpedo-chested lady friends and his trusty dive watch. But it also has to do with the total veracity and slavish devotion to function embodied by these timepieces. After all, these were tools that soldiers and civilians alike literally depended on with their very lives.

For some absurd reason, there are some people who still don’t think of Bulgari as being a company that produces technical watches.
