It was a small, cozy yet elegant watch affair on a fine Thursday morning at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore as Ralph Lauren launches its release of their 2014 timepiece collections. Familiar to all, Ralph Lauren has been a strong influential brand that has been around the fashion scene for more than 40 years. Renowned […]

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 […]

Speake-Marin may be a relatively new independent watchmaking brand, but its impact has been tremendous. And with the new Magister Tourbillon, it just gets better. The folks at Deployant has been fans of Speake-Marin since its inception. Personally, I have a soft spot for the brand. One of the most distinct features of the watch would be theRead More

Yesterday afternoon I had a chat over coffee with one of the luminaries of the Singapore watch-collecting world – and on his hand glinted something black, absolutely unique, and in all respects a stunner. “Some thing new?” I asked, readying my camera phone, hoping that the watch would soon migrate from his wrist to mine.Read More

When talented watchmaker Mr. Roger Dubuis decided to launch his own brand in 1995, he sought inspiration in the innovations and techniques pioneered by Swiss watchmakers of the past. “I decided I wanted to create a watch to thank my teachers, friends and all those who had helped me learn and perfect my art,” shared […]

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 […]

Diamonds on a Bell & Ross sound a bit like diamonds on a Panerai: not done often nor suited for the style of watch. Yet Panerai did do a limited edition with diamond set numerals, their only official endeavor that incorporated these precious gemstones, and Bell & Ross, well, they have also embraced diamonds – […]

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 […]

With the release of two very popular models in steel with diamonds and in steel gold with diamonds, the Tank Francaise and the Ballon Bleu, Cartier is spoiling the ladies again! Up till now, Cartier have not really featured both diamonds and steel in a single watch before, and in the Ballon bleu collection we now see […]

We always like to tell people that the watches made by Devon are what you get when you let an American design a watch –not a watch rooted in European tradition, not a watch that looks back to the Golden Age of American watchmaking, not a watch that casts a misty eye, through rose colored […]

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, […]

After the successful launch of the Tank Francaise in 1995, an occasion that was hard to beat, La Maison presented quietly a completely new Tank model in 2002; the Tank Divan. – Steel version with automatic movement and Python strap – It was a watch that was designed from scratch and not a modernised version […]

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.

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 […]

It’s hard to believe that the UR-103 was released over 10 years ago. Yes - for those of you still mired in denial about how terrifyingly fast the last decade has gone by - it was 2003 when we first saw the shield-shaped watch with four conical hour satellites. As a testament to how forward-looking […]

“We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air.” –Evangelista Torricelli, 1644 It’s a dangerous thing to start a new watch company –in addition to an almost infinite number of ill-advised possible business goofs, standing out from the crowd enough for people to notice what you are doing, as well as consistently developing […]

The Corum Admiral’s Cup was transformed from a cultivated, slightly eccentric, dress watch into a full-blown sports watch years ago. Boasting cases with a diameter of 45mm, they almost sail in a class of their own, with bold designs that nobody will every mistake for something else other than a Corum Admiral’s Cup. That by […]

“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 […]

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 […]

If there were an Academy Award in the watch world for brand that’s evolved not only furthest, but also the most intelligently, from its origins, the ladies and gentleman of the Academy might well have to give the award to Panerai.

The Antoine Martin Slowrunner that was released about a year ago came with a stupendously large balance wheel that beat at an astounding 1Hz.

A new addition to this collection is always a special […]
