The 2013 Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Celestial – A Deserving Complication for the Sophisticated Women.

Among all the technical complications, an astronomical star chart wristwatch must be one of the most appreciated complications by the truly sophisticated watch collectors. At the SIHH 2013 exhibition, Jaeger-LeCoultre pleasantly surprised us with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Celestial. With the beautiful sky chart as seen from the Northern Hemisphere rotating at 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds […]

Quick Look: The Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane

Though it won’t be officially launched until Basel 2013 we thought this was too interesting to keep to ourselves –it’s the latest take on the Zenith “Christophe Colomb” series of watches (part of the Zenith Academy collection.) The Christophe Colomb watches place the escapement and balance in a gimbaled cage, so that no matter what […]

Is the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor complex for complexity’s sake?

The design of the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor is the most interesting thing about it. This statement is not as disparaging as it sounds. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. What I’m saying is - despite the intriguing premise of a watch equipped with four sprung balances of identical frequency linked by differentials to form what […]

First A. Lange & Söhne Boutique Opens In USA, With The Amazing Lange Zeitwerk “Handwerkskunst”

The Evolution of the Minute Repeater

Breguet developed Dec 25, 2012

The Evolution of the Minute Repeater

Despite the hyperbole that sometimes accompanies news from the watch world, the truth is this: the hairspring and balance got together in 1660, Mudge made his first lever-escapement watch in 1755, and, with respect to repeaters, Barlow and Quare (both Englishmen) applied for patents for repeating watches in the late 17th century. Breguet developed the […]

The Lange Arkade: a watch fit for a Queen

The Lange Arkade: a watch fit for a Queen

The Lange Arkade is an underated watch. The movement is beautiful…magnificent even. The case unique, the outsized date was an outrage when it was first introduced in 1994. In many sense, this is an outstanding watch…with one small print…it is a ladies timepiece. The ladies watch market, sadly, is dominated with quartz watches, which featureRead More

Horology 301: An incomplete introduction to the Minute Repeater

Horology 301: An incomplete introduction to the Minute Repeater

The minute repeater is both the most sophisticated of complications and the most atavistic - sophisticated, in that it requires enormous care and skill to make one that works at all, much less one that works well and sounds good; atavistic, in that it brings us back to the very earliest attempts to make mechanical […]

The pinnacle of evolution: Cartier ID Two

Let’s imagine that Charles Darwin was set loose upon the Huguenot-peopled valleys and mountains of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle, Le Sentier, Le Brassus, Fleurier and all the parts of Switzerland where silent, stoic men and women sublimate their inner passion into those angelic, refined machines that tell the time. It’s likely that he would arrive at […]

“I’ve heard tell what you imagine sometimes comes true” – Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Of all the complicated watches I’ve owned or worn - despite the varying claims of their makers that their dual oscillators, tourbillons, double tourbillons, resonance, triple tourbillons, constant-force mechanism, chain and fusée, ultra-light honeycomb baseplates and so on, […]

Save The Date: AP Royal Oak 40 Years Exhibition

It has the distinct honour of having one of the first immediately recognisable watch case shapes out there- I am talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak of course; but what few people know (and could learn more) about this horological icon is that the Royal Oak pulled Audemars Piguet from the brink of bankruptcy.

Ruling The Skies: IWC and Top Gun

The Advanced Fighter Weapons School In the 1970s, the Swiss mechanical watch industry was almost wiped out by an electronic threat called quartz technology, which instantly democratized accuracy in the form of cheap, Japanese-made watches. But ultimately, in the clash between soulless battery-operated machines and those handcrafted by human artisans, the mechanical watch won out, […]

Ghost in the machine: Richard Mille RM 056

With all that he’s achieved on the movement front: the world’s lightest mechanical watch movements (tourbillons, no less, created with I-beam aluminum-lithium bridges), the first carbon-nanofiber and titanium baseplates, the first movement designed after the steel trellis frame of a Ducati motorcycle, the first movement with an orthorhombic-titanium-aluminide baseplate, inspired by the honeycomb inner structure […]

The next wave of high complications from Piaget: The Gouverneur Tourbillon

It’s an uncanny thing about every new Piaget creation, how they all instantly seem to just belong. Even when it comes to the most novel of novelties from the brand, look away for a scant minute and once you turn your attention back to them, it’s hard to imagine a time when they weren’t a […]

The Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days

Though Panerai has developed an enormous number of different models and complications in recent years, the basic morphology of its watches hasn’t changed at all. Essentially, all Panerai models (and we think this is quite remarkable) are derived from only two designs. These, of course, are the Luminor and Radiomir cases; the Radiomir is the […]

A Flight Of Fancy: The Jaquet Droz American Eagle

The watches produced by Jaquet Droz since the name was relaunched by the Swatch Group in 2001 have for the last 11 years been notable mostly for extremely beautiful high-art dials (using everything from extremely exotic enameling techniques, such as pailloneé, to rare minerals like meteorite) and for very distinctive implementations of classic complications. (We […]

Strike Up The Band

Strike Up The Band

A minute repeater is a percussion instrument. A series of (most frequently two, sometimes three or four) hammers strike gongs that have each been tuned to produce a certain note, composing a melody that can be translated into a report of the time by those initiated into the discipline of repeating watches. Its matched hammers […]
