Baltic has long outgrown the status of microbrand. It is a genuine success story, and Baltic has become an established member of the accessible watchmaking scene. The brand is known for watches such as the MR01, Aquascaphe and Tricompax Panda. All watches come with mechanical movements and designs that have proven themselves over the past […]
Even though Nomos Glashütte was founded in 1991 and presented its inaugural Tangente, Orion, Ludwig and Tetra a year later, the Club remains one of its most popular watches. Introduced in 2007, it’s the clear-cut and simple style that captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The very first model, ref. 701 […]
As the only Swiss brand with Latin roots, it makes perfect marketing sense for Cuervo y Sobrinos to support the Iberian Historic Endurance. In this race, pre-1976 racing cars compete in different categories in circuits located primarily in Spain and Portugal. To celebrate the alliance, Cuervo y Sobrinos presents a sporty chronograph, the Historiador Historic […]
Introduced in 2020, the Longines Spirit collection has been, without a doubt, the brand’s most prolific range in the past few years. Since its presentation, we’ve seen multiple editions, most of them built around the needs of pilots. Following a time-and-date, a chronograph, a no-date and recently a cool GMT Zulu time, without mentioning the different sizes, […]
Three of the biggest trends in watchmaking today are more compact case sizes, textured, colourful dials and deliberate gender-free positioning. Audemars Piguet jumps on the bandwagon and produces its time-and-date Code 11.59 in a new 38mm case size to accommodate “slimmer wrists” of both sexes and decks out the vibrant purple and elegant ivory dials […]
The world of watchmaking is as wide as it is deep and, to me, an absolutely fascinating place. And while we can’t (or won’t) cover all of it, there are still hidden gems to be discovered. Newcomers like Aaron Sarauer or Minhoon Yoo, for instance, or even watchmakers that we haven’t come across before but […]
Horage may not be your household brand, but it is a name that’s getting noticed in the watch industry. In 2014, after seven years of painstaking development, Horage and its affiliated companies presented an automatic K1 movement, a contemporary, versatile, and aesthetically appealing calibre with a silicon escapement and a 65-hour power reserve. Soon after, […]
Within its Prospex line (which stands for professional specifications), Seiko has long been inspired by its past glorious watches – most of the time with its emblematic dive watches. This time, however, the brand’s latest historically-inspired model is not intended to explore the ocean’s depths but to follow you in your mountain adventures. A recreation […]
Dr. Ludwig Oechslin is famous for his ability to make complications look simple. Pervaded by the minimalist and highly functional spirit of Bauhaus, the industrial design and bold colours of Ochs und Junior watches are immediately recognisable. The latest Mese 2.23 model follows the Mese 1.22 “Brutally Bauhaus” trajectory and relays the time and date […]
As a cornerstone of TAG Heuer‘s identity since 1969, the square-shaped Monaco chronograph is fuelled by associations with the race track. Named after the most glamorous of F1 races, the Monaco soared to fame in 1971 after its cameo in Le Mans on Steve McQueen’s wrist. Following a hiatus in the mid-1970s, the Monaco was […]
