Inventively built for a minimalist but exceptionally legible calendar display, the H. Moser & Cie. perpetual calendar is synonymous with the brand. It’s been offered in a variety of guises to date, but the new Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Purity is arguably the most significant facelift. The dial is even more minimalist than before – but not quite as bare […]
Back in 2013, Graham released a very avant-garde astronomical watch known as the Graham Tourbillon Orrery. Priced at over $300,000, this planetarium-style watch had an extremely complicated movement produced for Graham by Christophe Claret.
Frederique Constant has a new version of its worldtimer watch called the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, and it comes with a unique brown dial.
Impressively thin and sleek – the case is just 5mm high – the Rado True Thinline was originally available only in black or white ceramic, the usual colours for the material. Now Rado has taken the covers off the True Thinline Colours, which feature ceramic cases and bracelets in blue, green, grey or brown, each in a […]
There are few watches like the Ressence Type 5. Actually, there are exactly zero watches quite like it – as the Type 5 continues the Ressence tradition of manufacturing the world’s first and still only oil-filled mechanical watches.
First introduced in titanium with a black dial, then in a functional black-on-black guise, the Ressence dive watch is now given a restrained palette with the Type 5G that matches the face and the watch case, in keeping with the minimalist approach of the Belgian watchmaker. The dials and bezel of the Type 5G are in […]
If you’re into watches and haven’t heard about the Presage Chronograph from Seiko, we’re sorry to be the ones to tell you, but you’ve been living under a rock. It was, without doubt, the winning curveball of 2016, and for good reason. It ticked all the boxes: pedigree, style, mechanics, value and an incredibly handsome dial. The only problem is that it was a limited edition. Well, that’s not the case with the four new regular production additions to the Presage line, still based on Seiko’s historical ‘Laurel’ model, and all featuring lustrous hand-fired enamel dials and classic style, replete with Roman numerals. Here are our initial thoughts on the collection, though we know these will be watches that look even better in the metal, so stay tuned for Baselworld. Seiko Presage Enamel Automatic Chronograph (ref. SRQ023) Without doubt, this will be the most popular of the collection, given that it’s virtually the same as last year’s breakout model. The most obvious change is Roman numerals replacing the Breguet-style Arabics. The other changes are the addition of ‘Presage’ dial text at 12, the new typeface for ‘automatic’ and a slightly tweaked hour hand. All small changes, but the overall result is a dressier-looking chronograph. The price…

Preparing for next month’s Baselworld 2017, Tag Heuer reimagined its signature Carrera Heuer-01 Skeleton Manufacture Chronograph watch.
TAG Heuer‘s top selling wristwatch is the Carrera Heuer-01, a chronograph featuring an appealing see-through dial that reveals the mechanics below. Priced at under SFr5000, equivalent to US$5000, the skeleton dial Carrera Heuer-01 is a large 45mm in diameter, making unwieldy for some. Now the same aesthetic is available on a more manageably sized 43mm model. While the […]
