While the DB28X Starry Seas is ostensibly a classic De Bethune DB28 model, it marks a new chapter in the life of the flagship collection. Renowned for its floating lugs, delta-shaped bridge, crown at noon and futuristic spirit, the DB28 upholds its signature traits but has undergone a sea change. Impossible to discern from a […]
Over the past few years, Maurice Lacroix has been busy promoting its Aikon collection, the brand’s accessibly priced, game-changing luxury sports watch. Yet, Maurice Lacroix has also recently highlighted another important pillar of its collection, the more classic and versatile Pontos line. The brand now revisits its Pontos S Diver, a watch originally released in […]
It’s one thing to possess a wildly creative streak when it comes to designing watches but quite another to get these original ideas off the ground. When Maximilian Büsser founded MB&F in 2005, he had plenty of ideas but needed fuel to launch his Horological Machines into orbit. One of Büsser’s first supporters was Laurent […]
Massena LAB, the design studio run by industry veteran William Massena and specialised in collaboration watches, continues its expansion in both high-end and accessible watches. The new watch that is presented today marks his second partnership with an old, rather discreet brand known as Mathey-Tissot. The first collab brought back to life the watchmaker’s most […]
For over a year now, HYT has been back in action with its creativity and boldness revived. The return of the brand was marked by the Hastroid, a watch with familiar mechanics and, of course, the signature – and industry unique – fluidic indication of the time. Besides the obvious sci-fi inspiration behind the design […]
There is no denying the connection between cars and watches in general. Often fueled by a passion for mechanics, both worlds are deeply connected, and enthusiasts of one category often have a strong interest in the other. This connection is hardly stronger than with Porsche Design. Not only was the studio created in 1972 by […]
The difference a dial can make… We’ve said it on multiple occasions, but a simple change of dial colour can truly transform a watch. And the new opaline silvery-white dial of the Black Bay GMT that has been introduced earlier this year at Watches & Wonders is there to make a point. For several years, […]
Part of the Singer Group, a Californian-based luxury brand that has become globally renowned for its bespoke restorations of the Porsche 911, Singer Reimagined is the watchmaking counterpart to the stunning cars. As such, there’s no denying the automotive connection of these watches, all of them deeply inspired by motorsport and meant to be used […]
Not perhaps the best-known player on the Glashütte block, Union Glashütte is no newcomer to the watchmaking scene and started producing pocket watches in 1893. Now a part of Swatch Group’s portfolio, like fellow brand Glashütte Original, Union Glashütte upholds the region’s distinctive Saxon approach to watchmaking but with more contained prices. Celebrating the Gaisberg […]
The Yema Superman is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic watches ever produced by the French watchmaking industry, with a recognition that goes far beyond its country of origin. Launched in the early 1960s, it was a typical skin-diver watch, a serious instrument for recreational diving enthusiasts, back then, a flourishing market. After some years […]
