Rusted steel from the Titanic, erupting vulcano’s, PacMan; they all featured Romain Jerome’s watches.

Probably because diamonds are too common for a brand that always seem to take […]

The word “chronograph” is one which, like many technical terms in watchmaking, has drifted in meaning somewhat over the years, along with the development of the complication itself (interestingly the chronograph, despite its relative ubiquity today, was the last of the major classic complications to be developed, which speaks perhaps to the relative indifference of […]

Every time when I am going thru the largest book about Cartier clockes & watches; ‘The Cartier Collection’ / ‘Timepieces’ (Flammarion), I am amazed how good and not dated at all, these vintage time pieces look. They could easely be put back on the shelf, the way they are. I photographed some of the current […]

Despite the fact that the Promiscuous Wrist, by definition, gets around a lot, it (or I, I should say) has never had the chance to test-drive a watch with an equation-of-time complication. For that matter, we’ve never had a run around the block with an annual calendar either. So, when the chance came to kill […]

We unhappy mortals, therefore, are like to surround ourselves […]

A quarter-mile offshore and 80 feet below the surfaceof Lake Superior, my friend, Chris, and I found the Madeira’s pilothouse - standing upright, its compass binnacle still intact, belying the violence of the ship’s demise.

A new world-time watch from iwc, inspired by its highly coveted historical mark timepieces The enforced passivity of modern air travel has probably been responsible for more fantasies of actually sitting in the cockpit of a high-performance fighter jet than The Right Stuff, Top Gun and all of the Iron Eagle movies put together.
