There is no surprise that nowadays, not only scientists, occultists, magicians and pagans display an exciting desire to follow planetary tracks. For one, Mercury in retrograde is a vital factor to consider by ordinary people. And unsurprisingly, astronomical indicators remain among our favourite watch complications and the Christiaan van der Klaauw Planetarium series we love. […]
Bulgari seems intent on marking the 10th anniversary of the Octo Finissimo with limited editions and collaborations. After all, what are friends for if not to share the festive mood? A couple of weeks ago, we talked about an Octo Finissimo Tattoo Acqua, the second edition in limited series created with tattoo artist Mo Copoletta. […]
Alright, it’s not because our friends of Time+Tide come from Australia that this watch is upside down (well, in fact, they do live upside down, according to some beliefs… anyway…) No, there’s another reason behind this very, very confusing watch.

A classic skin diver model, with recreational divers in mind, it has since its comeback been made in countless editions, colours and sizes. But there’s more than just the original (and rather […]
The manufacture Roger Dubuis has gone a long way before settling to build the “future of hyper-horology.” The brand’s vision of this future is a radical one. It is mechanically complex, flamboyant, excessive and expensive, so out of reach for the general population. Still, Roger Dubuis and its Excalibur watches remain a favourite for sheer […]
Baltic skillfully rides the nostalgia wave, mastering the art of making vintage-inspired watches with enviable success. How many watches do you know that sell at a premium in the secondary market? We all know about certain references from Rolex, AP and Patek Philippe, but I bet you did not imagine a small French kickstart-startup of […]
Created in 2017, Singer Reimagined is an independent watchmaking brand that made a name for itself by creating unconventional chronographs with innovative movements.

Timepieces in the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner collection are the ultra-modern version of the “luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet” concept, albeit based on the design of trains and cars from the 1930s-1950s.
