As you know, our first impressions of the 2018 launch of the Fiftysix collection were mixed. Introduced as the brand’s more casual collection, with steel options and automatic movements, and choice of complications. The Fiftysix taps into the ongoing trend for vintage-style watches by taking inspiration from a VC model of 1956 and has lightened up the […]
When it comes to charity auction Only Watch, F.P. Journe is always one of the highlights, not only because of the name but mainly because he usually donates a unique, unprecedented and complex watch. Remember the tantalum/chrome blue dial Tourbillon Souverain of 2015? Or the unique Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante of 2017? Well, for the 2019 […]
Junghans is all about minimalism and “Bauhaus” design – a German art school active during the 1920s, which inspired many of the Junghans watches of the era and is still the brand’s motto nowadays. To complete its already large collection, Junghans presents another iteration of its Meister Calendar watch, this time with a dark blue dial […]
Oris expands its Big Crown Pointer Date collection with the incorporation of this model with an oxblood dial. An unusual colour that is rarely seen in watchmaking, we think it works extremely well in this context. The technical specifications, the styling of the 40mm steel model and even the price have not altered, but the […]
MeisterSinger stands out from the crowded watch scene with its unique identity. Before the invention of the minute hand, early mechanical clocks showed only hours… And just like these, the German brand produces single-hand mechanical timepieces. The latest watch in the collection sticks to this “mono-aiguille” display and adds some useful calendar indications. Meet the […]
The watch we’re looking at today certainly wasn’t Patek Philippe‘s main novelty of 2019. If you want some fresh, truly unprecedented pieces, you’ll have to look at the Calatrava Weekly Calendar 5212A, the Alarm Travel Time 5520P or the (superb) Chronograph 5172G. And so what?… Can’t we just enjoy a new edition of an existing […]
Baume & Mercier’s Classima collection is largely populated with classic three-hand-date dress models and the odd automatic chronograph. Three new models join the Classima line-up; a complete calendar with chronograph, a GMT or dual time, and a small seconds. Stylish and useful at the same time, the new models are conceived for everyday wear and […]
Founded just a few years ago, Depancel is driven by the passion for old French cars such as Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega. Now launching on Kickstarter, the brand’s latest creation, the Depancel [Re]Naissance is a tribute to an iconic car, the timelessly elegant Delage D8-120. Powered by a straight 8-cylinder engine with 120bhp (a […]
These days it seems that any watch model from Patek Philippe that has the word “Nautilus” in its title is in great demand – and short supply. The two crowd favourites are of course the Ref. 5711 and the Ref. 5712. Both have seen their resale values skyrocket in the past few years and it […]
Founded in 1912, Fortis is known for its rugged, functional watches and the brand’s long-lasting connection with aviation and space exploration. The brand started manufacturing watches for the PC-7 team over 12 years ago. The PC-7 team is the Swiss Air Force aerobatics display team. Their flight displays underline the capabilities of the Swiss Air […]
