Harder, Faster, Stronger: The New Panerai Calibre P.1000
I assembled the new Panerai movement the other day. I wish there was a way to rephrase that sentence so I could accurately convey how challenging I found it to be. To be absolutely fair, it was at the end of a long week. You may think that Watches & Wonders is more chilled out […]

Kicking Back With The IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date
This is the third year running that IWC have chosen to showcase novelties from their Portofino collection during Watches & Wonders, and it’s not difficult to see why.

In the year 1995, the House of Perrelet produced a first of its kind, “double rotor” movement, in which they connected the rotor on their automatic movement to a rotor on the dial side of the watch. Such a creation provided a great canvas for the brand to express a new dimension of creativity. It […]

SIHH 2015: A. Lange & Söhne Introduces The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater
One of the most unusual and technically intriguing watches that I’ve seen so far this year at the 2015 edition of the SIHH is the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater.

Baume et Mercier knows a thing or two about elegance. Actually, elegance is what they do best.
