First Look At Bulgari’s Stunning New L’Ammiraglio Del Tempo [VIDEO]
For some absurd reason, there are some people who still don’t think of Bulgari as being a company that produces technical watches.

The Ultimate Black Tie Watch: H.Moser & Cie. Perpetual Calendar Black Edition
Purists will immediately, and rightfully, note that Black Tie as a dress code does not allow for the men to wear wristwatches. Yet those regulations come from an era in which Great Britain still had a King and every airplane a propeller. Times have changed, and so have watches. In 2011 Piaget surprised everybody by […]

In Pursuit Of The Holy Grail Watch: Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak 5402 A Series Yellow Gold
There’s a lot of postulation as to why suddenly a whole new generation of watch collectors, myself included, have become so fixated with vintage watches. To me, the charm of an over-half-a-century-old Rolex GMT or a nearly-40-year-old Patek Nautilus Ref. 3700/1A is that when you strap it to your wrist, you realize that, while time […]

Chaumet Dandy: Pleasantly Different
When gentlemen discuss watches, the name Chaumet is not one that comes up often. Not that the brand is unknown, actually far from that, but it is in general more associated with high end jewelry rather than watches. Yet watches, especially for ladies, are not at all unknown territory for Chaumet. The brand even claims […]

SIHH 2014: Has The Piaget Altiplano 900P Reached The Theoretical Limits Of What’s Possible?
This was the question I was pondering when the Piaget Altiplano 900P was placed in my hands. Piaget of course, are the masters of the Ultra Thin watch, having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this particular horological niche throughout their history. The brand holds world records for thinness in up to 12 categories, and for this, there is no denying that despite other brands introducing ultra thin watches from time to time, Piaget have shown that their focus has reaped rewards, and also what can be done when a movement, stripped to the bare essentials, can produce a wonder of mechanical beauty.
