I’ve always seen Japan as the other place for fine watchmaking. But for many years, it has mostly been about large companies and mainstream production.

Depancel, which stands for Delage, Panhard, and Facel Vega, three prestigious carmakers of the past, is a young French brand that has been active in recent years, with accessible creations inspired by the automotive world.

Positioned as the brand’s luxury sports watch with integrated […]

This intense black colour is obtained from the millenary Japanese […]

Colourful accents, sci-fi-inspired cases, and displays unique to the watchmaking world. But the brand has also demonstrated more than once – specifically with its UR-100 collection – its ability to play on the […]
Released in 2021, the Seiko Presage Style 60’s was designed to become the brand’s vintage-inspired, slightly elegant offer in a relatively accessible price range, next to the more high-end Craftsmanship and Sharp Edged series. First presented with a time-and-date or an open-heart movement, this watch modelled after the important 1964 Crown watch, has since been […]
