When it comes to Rolex, the precious-metal-only Day-Date (aka the President) is pretty much at the top of the tree, so naturally it isn’t short of high-profile wearers.

Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.

Hublot throws its lot into the ring with its 's Big Bang Unico Sapphire. With this new entrant, Hublot builds a foothold in the new fad of fancy watch case materials, the arms race of the Sapphire crystal. Other high-end or rather highly priced brands like Richard Mille and MB&F; have also joined in the match. Richard Mille's RM 056 in sapphire is in the 7 digit price range while MB&F;'s HM6-SV is almost half a million dollars.

Swiss Watchmakers put their best into creating timepieces of excellent quality and value A Matter of Perception Though Switzerland is often seen as a bastion of luxury watchmaking, with premium brands producing timepieces that cost as much, if not more, than automobiles, that is not to say that there is a dearth of affordable […]

A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded.

Confession #1: I have a weakness for watches with the dead seconds complication. I said as much last year when I told someone I could spend the rest of my life staring at this particular mechanism, and then he went and quoted me on the internet. Thanks a lot, bro. Confession #2: I just spent […]

Who doesn’t enjoy a big old birthday party? (Rhetorical question, but just in case you really really need to know, the short answer to that is, “No one worth inviting”.)

Well, the other shoe has finally dropped: last week, Apple officially launched the Apple Watch, spawning think-pieces, hand-wringing, enthusiasm, disdain, and chains of mutual recrimination in comments sections across the Internet –in other words, it was a typical Apple product launch. We watched the keynote with as much interest as anyone, of course –but reactions from […]

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. Boutique editions differ usually more, offering everything from DLC-coatings […]

Ask a watchmaker, any watchmaker, and they will tell you that oiling a watch is a precise business. Too little and you create extra wear and tear, too much and it will overflow and be drawn away from the bearings. Yet there is a watch that uses a lot of oil, and with a lot […]

HYT tantalised us recently with a sneak peek of the third generation H3 that we wrote about a few weeks ago.

Normally I hate working on Sundays, I would much rather potter around the house in my PJs, cup of coffee in hand, a little Scooby Doo with my six year-old, maybe bake some cup cakes if I am feeling particularly energetic (I know I could rock the FT How To Spend It’s Perfect Weekend!). But […]

We live in an age defined by portable computing, but nailing wearable computing has –at least so far –proven to be much more elusive.

As a schmucky, self-proclaimed know-it-all who has never agreed with the results of ANY awards program – I stopped watching the Oscars because they infuriate me so much – the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève is precisely the sort of affair that’s guaranteed to raise my blood pressure.

In many cases, watches that have the moonphase complication suffer from exactly the same problem as many chronographs: their dial layout is almost identical with one another. Not that this is so much a problem. This layout is often very practical and pleasing to the eye, but this does not diminish our craving for something […]

They often say that good things come in threes, and there is most certainly some truth to it when you are presented with not one, not two, but three examples of Girard-Perregaux’s 1st quartz watch at the same time.

Panerai has something that no other brand has this much of. It is one of the rarest commodities in watchmaking, and many watchmakers lose sleep over the lack of it. That commodity is space. You’d expect a Panerai to be big and bulky since it is an essential part of the DNA of the brand. […]

As we move further into the Renaissance of mechanical watchmaking we see certain watch brands taking very strong positions within the watch world.
