We all know the watchmaking industry is spread far and wide, and you can find pretty much whatever you can think of. And on the top end of the spectrum is where you will find some of the most complex pieces imaginable. Watches that tell you the sunrise and sunset times for instance, or that […]
We took a look at Harley Davidson’s last few traditional Sportsters last year and how remarkably old-school they were. Since 1986, the air-cooled Evo V-twins have barely changed and aren’t much different than the Ironhead engines that preceded them (going back to 1957). You’d be hard-pressed to find more traditional motorcycles on showroom floors in […]
Austrian independent watchmaker created by couple Maria and Richard Habring, also known as Habring², has been building a variety of watches/movements, most of them with a little twist for the display – such as a deadbeat seconds or a foudroyante seconds. Yet, their most emblematic model is, without a doubt, the so-called Doppel, or split-seconds […]
Independent watchmaker Brellum just took the veil off its latest creation, the last limited edition model to be released by this young brand in 2022. It is primarily black, and it looks beautiful. The Pandial LE.3 DD DLC Chronometer comes black-tie dressed, and is an evolution of the black-and-white Pandial LE.2DD Chronometer. There was also […]
Swiss watch designer Gérald Genta was ahead of his time.

There are many watches that can be named iconic or emblematic. Each category has its cult watches – the Submariner for divers, the Speedmaster for racing chronographs and the Calatrava for dress watches. Few can rival the aura of the Type XX watches when it comes to pilot’s watches, specifically pilot’s chronographs. As we speak, […]
Independent American watchmaker RGM is introducing its fourth watch, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1992, the brand already has several in-house movements, including the tonneau-shaped caliber 20, caliber 801 and Pennsylvania Tourbillon, and both enamel and guilloché dials are a speciality. We looked at some of RGM’s Grand Feu enamel dials in the past […]
When checking the list of exhibiting brands of Watches and Wonders 2023, you may have wondered about the name Charles Zuber.
