Founded in 1919 in Grenchen and now in the hands of fourth-generation descendants of the Schluep family, Titoni has a tradition of producing mechanical timepieces at affordable prices. With nine collections for men, the Airmaster is not, as its name might suggest, a pilot’s watch but rather a classic all-rounder in stainless steel with a […]
Square watches are less mainstream than their round counterparts, but some models have become truly legendary. TAG Heuer’s Monaco is arguably the most recognised and synonymous with motorsport and Steve McQueen. The new Serie-R Cruiser from French microbrand Depancel is inspired by motorsport as well, specifically café racer and cruiser motorcycles. Its square case is […]
One of the most classical displays in watchmaking is the time-only watch with small seconds. Originating from the early days of watchmaking, more specifically pocket watchmaking, this display shows only hours, minutes and seconds.
