Raymond Weil unveils a handsome iteration of their Freelancer chronograph. Standing out with its black/bronze colourway, this retro-styled bi-compax chronograph is inspired by a customised motorbike crafted by the artisans of Meister Engineering, a Swiss company specialised in the re-imagination of motorcycles. The 43.5mm Raymond Weil x Meister Freelancer Chronograph is presented in a bronze […]
Watch people are second only to cyclists, and maybe mountain climbers when it comes to nitpicking about tiny units of measurement. Where cyclists might throw a fit if the new version of their favourite derailleur adds two grams to their total weight, watch nerds will lose their minds and declare a new piece unwearable, even […]
One of the most celebrities in Zenith’s line-up is the reference A386, one of the three inaugural automatic chronographs launched in 1969 fitted with the famous high-frequency El Primero calibre. Unlike its siblings (A384 and A385), the round A386 had a tri-colour dial with grey and blue sub-dials that would become its identikit. In a […]
Dutchman Yvo Staudt first burst upon the scene with his eponymous brand 8 years ago, when he launched his Praeludium Hand Wound in October of 2014. This was a classic case of someone who couldn’t find what he was looking for elsewhere, and despite giving up his search set out to create what he wanted […]
Mido is one of the brands owned by the Swatch Group that, together with Hamilton, Tissot or Rado, plays on the accessible luxury trend. Still, it has both a storied history and portfolio that shouldn’t be overlooked. A couple of years ago, the brand introduced a very appealing retro-styled 3-hander watch that pays tribute to the […]
Longines and its Heritage collection… A range that comprises some of the most desirable watches produced by the brand, all inspired by some of Longines’ most glorious past watches, re-edited in a modern way but always with great historical relevance. One of the flagship models in this collection is the Avigation BigEye, a watch modelled after […]
I’ve known Łukasz (@lukaszdoskocz on Instagram) for many years, and he is what you can call a friend. He’s also a true watch buddy, passionate, opinionated too, and a very cool man with whom I have shared a beer (or more) on many occasions after a long, exhausting day running around Baselworld (writing this makes […]
For the past few years, Zenith has been exploring textures and colours, mostly on its contemporary and bold chronograph in the Defy collection. You can hardly accuse the brand of being conservative when you recall the military green, black-and-white or even the ultra-special Pantone edition. Following the Ultraviolet edition of last year, Zenith is back with […]
As of now, the cool Hamilton Intra-Matic chronograph should be no stranger to you. Since its introduction in a limited edition in 2017, followed by downsized (and even more attractive) versions now in the permanent collection, this watch available also in 3-hand editions has become one of the brand’s pillars. It has even been recently […]
The colour green might be the latest trend in watchmaking and even refer back to Audemars Piguet’s groovy colourful stone dials of the 1970s, but it has another far more interesting connotation that ties in very nicely with the iconic Royal Oak watch. Green is also evocative of the evergreen or perennial trees that grow […]
