Russian watch brand Raketa is back with another surprising watch inspired by Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich’s radical Black Square painting. A far cry from Raketa’s tool watches, the limited edition “Big Zero Malevich” features a big black square smack in the centre of the dial. A collaboration between Raketa and the State Tretyakov Gallery […]
Perhaps one of the most significant milestones in Montblanc’s 114-year long history is its decision to take over the former Minerva production facilities in 2007. Based in Villeret, it has become Montblanc’s inventing room for high horology watches, like the Montblanc Star Legacy Exo Tourbillon Skeleton LE8 watch. The timepiece boasts an 18k rose gold […]
In recent years, Ralph Lauren has made watches with complicated movements and intriguing designs, somehow reflecting Mr Lauren’s love for Haute Horlogerie.

While Bell & Ross is mostly known for its relation with military forces and its robust pilot’s watches, we have to keep in mind that diver’s had always been a centre of interest for the brand – remember the oil-filled Hydromax and its 11,000m water-resistance, or the BR02 collection. Not so long ago, the brand […]
