Two of the great joys of Baselworld are meeting new people and discovering wonderful new watches. During this year’s annual pilgrimage, a friend introduced me to a modest, softspoken gentleman.

MB&F;’s Legacy Machine debuted last year to excellent reviews.

Its minimalist design also accentuates the purity inherent in a simple movement, and […]

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.

When I wrote the story last week of H. Moser & Cie’s upcoming new Smart Watch, I did not know what to expect. Today, pictures have been released, and even a tongue in cheek video to explain that the Smart Watch in question, is no Smart Watch of the electronic variety. Instead we have an […]

Ever since the invention of the earliest water clocks, physics and gravity have affected our efforts to measure time precisely. Liquid-filled clocks ran faster when full, because higher pressure at the bottom of the vessel caused the water to drain more quickly. Springs provided a technological step forward, but not a complete solution, because they […]

Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been called inventors first and watchmakers second. When visiting their manufacture, the diagrams and formulas that adorn many interior surfaces support this impression. The inventor reference is certainly no insult – the same might be said of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Greubel Forsey’s approach to watchmaking is, if not singular, certainly […]
