Beyond the classical black and silver, colours are trendier than ever in watchmaking. Blue, salmon or even green have been widely used by watch brands to dynamise their timepieces.

Named after illustrious English clockmaker Georges Graham, the brand with the eponymous name was created in 1995 by Eric Loth. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the brand releases a limited edition of its Chronofighter. Inspired by WWII bomb-timer instruments, this non-conformist chronograph stands out with its distinctive fast action lever, which enables the start/stop of […]
Proud to represent the 4th generation of watchmaker in the Swiss Jura near Porrentruy, Sebastien Muller launched his own brand Brellum a few years ago with the idea of offering high-quality timepieces sold directly to clients.

A couple of years ago Glashütte Original decided to spice up some members of its vintage-style Sixties collection with lively colours and textured dials.

In addition to the usual suspects (AP, PP and VC), we’ve seen multiple brands presenting their own (accomplished or not) vision of […]
At first, you might think that this new watch is a vintage re-edition of the iconic 1969 El Primero A386 – which it is, and that’s already quite something, as this one is stainless steel. But this watch is actually much more. First of all, it will be the final version of the A386 available […]
The venerable Omega Speedmaster Professional was the first wristwatch worn on the Moon in 1969 and has gained an undeniable status symbol, being on of the most iconic watches ever, one with a popularity that goes far beyond just watch nerds. Considering its pedigree, it seems understandable to see this watch on the wrist of […]
Frederique Constant’s Yacht Timer Regatta Countdown features a complication that indicates the time remaining before the start of a sailing regatta. Introduced in 1997 in a quartz version, the regatta countdown staged its reappearance in Frederique Constant’s line-up in 2019 with a mechanical heart. Essentially a reverse chronograph, the 10-minute countdown display relies on five […]
Even though it would be impossible to hide all the buzz, the discussions and the emotions that surrounded the launch of this watch – certainly the most commented watch ever – it won’t be the topic of the day. We could argue with its detractors… We could, but we won’t. What we’ll do today is being fair, objective and realistic. Because today, over a year after its launch, now that the dust has settled, we’re going to give a second and in-depth look on the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet – with the blue dial/white gold Selfwinding Chronograph model. Because, objectively, this watch has a lot to offer.
