The original Bulgari Aluminium watch was released in 1998 and caused quite a sensation. A hit-watch back in the days, it was cool, different and slightly provocative. A cult model for the brand that even made it on the side of an Alitalia Boeing 747. In 2020, Italian brand Bulgari relaunched this emblematic watch in a […]
Although we saw plenty of very cool and innovative watches, it’s hard to ignore the continuing popularity of the luxury sports watch. With iconic entries like the Royal Oak and Nautilus still being very hard to obtain – both for their premium prices and limited supply – we’re always happy to spot alternatives. From indie […]
Hublot has forged its identity on a fusion of state-of-the-art materials and extroverted watches, personified by the Big Bang collection. Similar to the differences between the original Royal Oak and the beefier, more aggressive temperament of the Royal Oak Offshore, Hublot’s original Classic Fusion of 1980 was fed a steady diet of testosterone to grow […]
It has been eight years since Patek Philippe launched a Pilot-style watch. It was the unexpected Travel Time 5524G, a watch that caused a lot of discussions, mainly due to its controversial appearance and a confusing attachment to the Calatrava family. The inaugural reference, the variants to follow, including the now-discontinued 7234, and the 2019 […]
If you’re into dive watches, the name Doxa has to be on your list. It is, without a doubt, one of the most emblematic brands around when it comes to watches meant for underwater adventures. The brand has been a pioneer, and has created a style that is now unmistakable – the SUB 300 and […]
The Hermès H08 collection debuted in 2021 with sporty-looking, relaxing time-and-date watches for daily wear, distinguished by the compelling cases with cushion shape, rounded edges and short lugs – and the choice of materials. The Hermès watch division refreshed the series this year with much sportier-looking models with bright colours. Also, it introduced a sporty-chic […]
Ten years… That’s how long the partnership between Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team is… And this connection has seen the creation of multiple watches, either dedicated to the world of motorsport in general, to the pilots of the team (Lewis Hamilton first and foremost), to its boss or to the […]
The past few weeks we have focused almost exclusively on all the new watches we saw during the Watches & Wonders 2023 fair. But in all honesty, that’s not all that ‘went down’ in Geneva about a month ago. Just prior to, during and immediately after the show, there were plenty more very fine watches […]
A. Lange & Söhne was never a company to overwhelm visitors to the SIHH (now Watches & Wonders) with countless new models and variations of the past references. The Saxon brand always sends a clear message about what the launch of the year is with a huge “replica” of the essential new product welcoming you […]
Brellum is a brand apart… An independent company run by Sebastien Muller, it only sells watches directly to customers, caps its production to 299 pieces a year, and only makes mechanical and COSC-certified watches. However, it’s not about ultra-high-end indie timepieces but pilot and racing chronographs. Offering great value for money and impeccable execution, it […]
