Chronograph PAMdemic!- Panerai Radiomir 1940 Chronographs
When it comes to Panerai watches, there would only be two outcomes: either you love it, or loathe it. However, with the new 1940 Chronographs from Panerai, it may be able to change the perspective of certain critics towards this watchmaker. Or at least that was what I thought. The folks here at Deployant hadRead More

Opinion: Not just innovation, watchmakers must keep an eye on quality
Yesterday afternoon I had a chat over coffee with one of the luminaries of the Singapore watch-collecting world – and on his hand glinted something black, absolutely unique, and in all respects a stunner. “Some thing new?” I asked, readying my camera phone, hoping that the watch would soon migrate from his wrist to mine.Read More
