The IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde combines the magic of a floating tourbillon with the logic of a date hand that reverts to its starting position and the power of a 7-day in-house calibre.

Complex and beautiful mechanical art is not limited to horology. The Age of Reason gave rise to myriad efforts to understand nature’s inner workings, and this in turn motivated the mechanically and artistically inclined to devise and create miniature automata in the form of animals, insects and flowers. Richard Mille’s new RM 1902 Tourbillon Fleur continues these traditions […]

Not long ago, we featured a watch with a similar theme, the Graham Tourbillon Orrery. Unlike the Graham, the Astronomia Tourbillon does not feature a mini-planetarium. Nevertheless, this is still an interesting piece, albeit it may be a little difficult to digest all the details. At the first glance, the Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon is aRead More

The Lange Saxonia was one of the four original watches introduced a bewildered watchmaking world in 1994. The other 3 being the now iconic Lange 1, the visually arresting Arkade and the technical showcase Pour le Mérite Tourbillon.

Automobile and horology have always been synonymous together; it is as though both of them shares an invisible but closely knotted bond since the day both of them crossed path. The L.U. Chopard, with a great provenance from the racing world, is no stranger to that too. And the Engine One Tourbillon is a culminationRead More

They are no strangers to each other; Jochen Benzinger teamed up with IWC to create for example the quite outrageous Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Squelette. Outrageous in a sense that it simply makes you want to head straight to the marina, raise the main sail and set on a course to India, while parking yourself on […]

At first glance, this may seem like any other Panerai watches. And it is not difficult to see why. In the eyes of non-Panerai collectors, many Panerai pieces look strangely similar. But the Panerai Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso (what a mouthful) is a little different. Like what the wise folks say: “Beauty is onlyRead More

When one thinks of Audemars Piguet, one must surely also think of the Royal Oak and for good reason. Ever since Audemars Piguet introduced this epic watch they have been elevating its presence, by introducing new complications, movements, and yes, even changing the legendary design just a little bit. That is why today the Royal […]

In the world of watchmaking, there is news, and there’s actual news. Here we have the latter: the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Tourbillon Chronograph. This is something rather special. Combining a tourbillon with a chronograph is never a trivial challenge, but what we’ve got here is a fully integrated, in-house tourbillon chronograph movement, that also uses […]

Whenever we talk about Graham watches, either some aviator theme watches or the Chronofighters with the trademark “fast-action start/ stop trigger” beside the crown would subconsciously come to mind. This time round, Graham did something a little unorthodox, and the result is simply out of this world! Before we start talking about this timepiece, letsRead More

What makes a luxury watch more coveting than its entirety designed and manufactured in-house plus being sold exclusively in only ten boutiques in the world? Described as a monomaniac by some, 57-year-old French self-taught watchmaker, François-Paul Journe took five years to make his first and very own tourbillon which earned him a reputation in the watchmaking […]

The Gyrotourbillon 1 was first introduced by Jaeger LeCoultre in 2004 as what would be the first of a series of multi-axis tourbillon wristwatches, the theoretical goal of which was to create variations on the tourbillon suitable for a wristwatch rather than a pocket watch. Each of the Gyrotourbillon wristwatches has a different configuration of […]
