To many, Christopher Ward is known as a brand that produces very reasonably priced quartz and mechanical watches. Contrary to the extravagant marketing we are used to by bigger and more renowned watch brands, Christopher Ward dispenses with the hype, selling quality watches online at good prices directly to customers. In coincidence with their 10-year […]

Zenith is actually a strange name for the watch brand, since the word refers to the highest points in the heavens by a celestial body. Although the brand will be celebrating its 150th anniversary next year, it still doesn’t have seemed to reached its Zenith. For all this time the brand has been a respected […]

There was a time when the British not only ruled large parts of the world, but also large parts of the watch world as well. There is some connection between the two, because at one point in time, anyone who wanted to rule the world, needed a lot of ships. Navigating these ships correctly was […]

It doesn’t feel right, calling a watch like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique entry-level. It brings to mind images of small white cars with black bumpers, no rims and not even a radio or electric windows. Of course this is not the case with this Reverso, since no corners were cut to create this watch, yet […]

We have said it before and now we say it again: a new color can transform a watch. While another dial can be considered a subtle change, dressing the case of a watch in another color is definitely more than just subtle! But then again, the Tread 2 by Devon Works is not really about […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

For industry insiders the volatility of the watch industry is no secret.

When you say Jaquemarts, you are instantly saying Ulysse Nardin.

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.

There are watches and then there is the Rebellion 540 Magnum Tourbillon. Actually it is only the tourbillon part of its name that gives it away that we are actually talking about a watch, and not an assault rifle or muscle car.
