There is no hiding the popularity of the Royal Oak as a collection. Audemars Piguet‘s luxury sports watch, the initiator of the genre born in 1972, is one of the few truly iconic watches on the market and celebrated its grand 50th anniversary earlier this year. If most Royal Oak models are highly coveted, there […]
Audemars Piguet has long demonstrated its ability to break the rules of classic haute horlogerie, using traditional complications and high-end, hand-finished movements of the highest level and encasing them in bold, polarising watches with a genuine contemporary approach to design. Today, the Le Brassus-based manufacturer presents a new collection that pushes the concept even further, […]
The time… deconstructed, indicated in a three-dimensional way, and without hands. This is the mission of the Trilobe Une Folle Journée. Trilobe is a young French independent brand first envisioned in 2013, which released its first watch in 2018. The concept; a new way to indicate the time. Conceptual, different, slightly poetical, and with sheer […]
The 1960s were a decade of rapid technological, style and fashion evolution with often remarkable creative freedom. The world made huge strides in creating striking, sometimes polarizing designs. Well, if you are 1960s-ready and seeking a dose of nostalgia, Rado celebrates the 60th anniversary of their quirky Diastar, a disruptive model marketed as the first […]
Since its resurrection a few years ago – we’ve listed the brand in our recent buying guide on recently-revived historic brands – Nivada Grenchen has been hard at work, providing nicely designed and well-priced watches with a retro feel. It all started with the revamped Chronomaster, followed by funky models such as the “Pac-Man” Depthmaster […]
As the story often goes, there’s a lot to discover through the magic of the internet and social media. And with that, a whole new world of creativity opens up to each and every one of us. A world beyond borders, that stretches to the far corners of our planet. In today’s case, it stretches […]
Far from being just another dive watch, the Yema Superman is, without a doubt, the most emblematic watch of the brand and, by extension, probably the most famous watch ever to be made in France. Since its re-launch a few years ago, in a faithful and vintage-oriented way, the Superman has been released in multiple […]
The open-heart style has long been associated with the classic El Primero chronograph, with the fast-beating heart of the watch, its 5Hz escapement, fully exposed through a hole on the dial. Something quite emblematic of the 2000s editions of this watch collection, it somehow lost a bit of its appeal… Until earlier this year, when […]
Delma‘s Cayman dive watches were introduced in 2019 as a reflection of the brand’s 1970s skin divers. They’re stylish and more compact than professional counterparts, although a bit larger than the usual skin diver at 42mm (traditional skin divers are under 40mm in diameter). The collection finds a nice balance between pro and recreational wrist […]
There’s one thing that can’t be denied about Orient’s watches, it’s the impressive value for the money they offer. We’ve seen it very clearly with the new Bambino 38, which left a very positive impression on the team. Accessible and yet well built, they however sometimes can lack a bit of fun and cool. Well, […]
