In this year’s Baselworld, Rolex had decidedRead More

It’s almost half a year ago that Grönefeld’s Parallax Tourbillon was awarded “best tourbillon” in its class.

Special watches crafted for long term dealers are nothing new in the watch world. There are many examples of this kind of watch available, and while they are often rare, they usually do offer not much more than a different colour dial and a commemorative engraving.

Little by little, top luxury brands are embracing new technologies. Breitling’s new B55 Connected pairs an impressive pilots chronograph with a smartphone, leveraging the best features of each, while leaving the watch firmly in charge. Given the B55’s origins, it’s no surprise that the emphasis is on the watch. Fans will be happy to know […]

Ask a watchmaker, any watchmaker, and they will tell you that oiling a watch is a precise business. Too little and you create extra wear and tear, too much and it will overflow and be drawn away from the bearings. Yet there is a watch that uses a lot of oil, and with a lot […]

Truth be told, when watch journalists such as myself were told about a new big launch that was coming up by Frederique Constant, I was interested, being a fan of the brand. Yet, when I was told that it would be a Smartwatch, I started to become very curious. What would it look like I […]

In 1915 Breitling introduced a chronograph with the monopusher located at 2 o’clock. A natural position for the pointer finger to reside when a chronograph is being operated. The century after this watch showed indeed a lot of chronographs where the start/stop-pusher was indeed located at two o’clock but in a touch of irony, most […]

Watch brands often only have a few different collections in their line-up. Of course within these collections a lot of different models reside.

Complex and beautiful mechanical art is not limited to horology. The Age of Reason gave rise to myriad efforts to understand nature’s inner workings, and this in turn motivated the mechanically and artistically inclined to devise and create miniature automata in the form of animals, insects and flowers.
