Introducing – URWERK UR-220 All Black

This summer, URWERK announced the final edition of the iconic UR-210. Luckily it didn’t take too long before the brand announced a successor of this staggering beauty, and to my relief, I can say it’s at least as good-looking and stealthy as the marvellous UR-210. That successor was the new UR-220 Falcon Project, which came in a carbon clad. Today, some 5 weeks after that first new UR-220, it’s time for another one. Another one in black, albeit in a slightly different shade of black… let’s have a closer look at the UR-220 All Black.

Introducing – Bremont Broadsword Bronze

Bremont, the English watchmaking brand founded by brothers Nick and Giles English in 2002, is renowned for its line-up of aviation and military-inspired watches with a strong British accent.

Hands-on – Rado Golden Horse 1957 Limited Editions

Most of us associate Rado with design-oriented watches and innovative materials, especially high-tech ceramic. Minimalist lines, sleek profiles and silky smooth ceramic cases and bracelets have defined much of the brand’s portfolio since the 1990s. And then, during Baselworld 2017, Rado surprised us with a very convincing reinterpretation of a 1962 Captain Cook model complete […]

Introducing – TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2020

It wasn’t just Ayrton Senna’s perseverance or determination for speed and exhilaration on the racetrack that got him noticed. For 15 years and right up until his untimely death, a flash of electric yellow on the helmet of the Brazilian Formula 1 Championship winner could be caught sight of as he lapped the track with […]

Buying Guide – 5 Cool and Recently Launched Pilot’s Chronographs

Mido’s Belluna collection was launched back in 2008 offering affordable dress watches inspired by London’s Royal Albert Hall, one of the most legendary British concert venues.
