After a prolific year (to say the least), what we’ll be looking at today might be one of the last watches unveiled by Seiko this year, and it isn’t based on one of the popular Prospex models, but on another growing collection, the Presage Sharp Edged Series.

It might not be the oldest player on the revered Glashütte block of Saxon watchmaking, but Tutima has consolidated an excellent reputation for resilient military-inspired chronographs (Flieger) and hyper-utilitarian dive watches with formidable depth ranges coupled with accessible prices. It also produces more upscale watches in true Glashütte tradition, like the Tempostopp hand-wound flyback chronograph […]
As the year comes to a close, watch brands jumpstart 2023 with their more romantic Valentine’s Day proposals. Right on time, Breguet unveils the 28-piece Classique Phase de Lune 9085, a dainty 30mm white gold model adorned with a white mother-of-pearl dial, rubies and a diamond-set case.

With a solid reputation in the USA, the brand has recently returned to mechanical watches without compromising its […]
Dr Ludwig Oechslin, the mastermind behind ochs und junior, has a knack for developing complications with as few components as possible. His radical minimalism invades all aspects of watchmaking, and his style is unmistakable. The good news for fans is that the idea of supplementing the brand’s limited customisable watches with serial production models has […]
If you have a soft spot for classic timepieces steeped in the charm of classic cars and classic car racing, you will surely notice this new edition of the Union Glashütte Belisar. The new chronograph Speedster Limited Edition is big, bright-coloured and will turn heads. I believe this watch will be hard to miss no […]
Tissot’s collection covers a large spectrum, ranging from ultra-robust dive watches to racing-oriented chronographs and, the star of the moment, a sporty-chic watch with an integrated bracelet. And because it’s Tissot, all of them are pretty hard to beat in terms of value for money. If you’re looking for something a bit more classic, the […]
