Hands-on – Oris Roberto Clemente Limited Edition

For some years now, Oris has committed to becoming a watchmaker that can “Change for the Better” (the brand’s new motto). In addition to create some rather cool and fairly-priced watches, the brand is also greatly involved in charity, with multiple non-profit organisations and foundations to help save the planet and the oceans (among other things). Think Carysfort Reef Limited Edition, the Ocean Trilogy or the Aquis Lake Baikal. Recently, Oris announced a new partnership with the Roberto Clemente Foundation, a humanitarian organisation named in honour of baseball player Roberto Clemente. And linked to this, there’s a watch, and a pretty nice one! Let’s have a closer look at the Oris Roberto Clemente Limited Edition.

Introducing – Breguet Classique Double Tourbillon 5345 “Quai de l’Horloge” (Live Pics & Video)

Breguet is one of the finest manufactures of the Swiss watch industry and, as the direct descendant of the inventor of the tourbillon regulator, the brand has been exploring this complex mechanism in various models – such as the extra-thin 5367 or the highly complicated 3797. However, if there’s one watch that best demonstrates the brand’s mechanical virtuosity, it is its signature double tourbillon watch, which sets the whole plate in motion through a central differential to indicate the hours. Today, Breguet introduces a new version of this watch, a bold and mechanically fascinating statement showcasing impressive watchmaking and decoration skills. Meet the new Classique Double Tourbillon 5345 “Quai de l’Horloge”.

Introducing – MeisterSinger & Mühle-Glashütte Team Up for the 30th Anniversary of German Reunification

For more than 40 years Germany was divided (1949-1990).

Introducing – Glashütte Original Alfred Helwig Tourbillon 1920 Limited Edition

Glashütte Original celebrates the 100th anniversary of Alfred Helwig’s sophisticated flying tourbillon. In true understated Glashütte Original style, the tourbillon is positioned on the reverse of the movement.

Video – Exploring the 2020 Maurice Lacroix Pontos Collection

The elegant proposition in the collection, and a now well-established line of watches for Maurice Lacroix, is the Pontos collection, which debuted in 2000 and has since become the brand’s (not so) classic model. This year, as the Pontos celebrates its 20th anniversary, several new models have been released, such as the Pontos Chronograph Monopusher […]

Introducing – Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire”

Which watch do you imagine could match the most exclusive and most expensive car ever commissioned?

Clearly, you didn’t expect something standard. For a car […]
