Hands-on – TAG Heuer Monaco 1989-1999 Limited Edition – Step 3 of the 50th-Anniversary Editions

Today in New York, TAG Heuer just presented the third of five limited-edition timepieces to mark the Heuer Monaco’s 50th anniversary. We could have expected the brand to come with faithful vintage re-editions, but instead, TAG Heuer will create 5 watches inspired by 5 different decades. After a funky 1970s Green version and a bold, fiery red racing-inspired model for the 1980s, it is time to look at the 1990s, a decade driven by industrial-design and street-style fashion. Meet the TAG Heuer Monaco 1989-1999 Limited Edition and its unprecedented grey-blue design.

Review – Van Der Gang Original Calendar Chronograph Ref. 20052 – Fresh and Unique

Making a name in the watch industry when you’re not Swiss and don’t have a 150-year pedigree isn’t an easy task. Apart from the usual quality and price aspects, the key is differentiation – which can lead to making things in an exaggerated way. Finding the balance between this need for being different and beautiful, […]

Introducing – Longines Master Collection Chronograph Bucherer “Blue Editions”

As the largest watch retailer in Europe (if not worldwide), Bucherer has the power to ask brands to be a bit flexible and create specifically designed watches. Those are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and, as you’ve probably guessed (or already know), they all share the same theme: blue details. One of the latest models in this series that comprises multiple (cool) watches is a relatively accessible and elegant chronograph. Meet the Longines Master Collection Chronograph Bucherer Blue Editions.

Buying Guide – Ready for Moon Landing 50? The 5 Coolest New Omega Speedmaster You Can Get

On July 16th, 1969 started one of the most incredible journeys of mankind. Onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were 3 men – Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. On July 21st, 1969, the Apollo Lunar Module landed on the Moon. A few hours later, 2 of these men will make history, as stepping onto the lunar surface. What was on the wrists of these astronauts? A black-dial sports chronograph made by Omega: the Speedmaster, a watch soon to be named the “Moonwatch” – see here how the Speedmaster has been selected by NASA, in the words of the guy who tested it, James Ragan.

Introducing – Habring² Perpetual-Doppel – Celebrating 15 Years of Austrian Watchmaking with a QP-Rattrapante (Live Pics)

In 2004, an Austrian couple, Maria and Richard Habring, embarked on a surprising but successful horological journey by creating their own brand named Habring².

Hands-on – Seiko “Save The Ocean” Special Edition – Take Three

I’m not sure if it’s sheer coincidence or a marketing strategy adopted by Seiko. In 2018, Brice covered the Turtle version of the first “Save The Ocean” Special Edition. In February 2019, Seiko presented a black version, which was basically the same watch with a black PVD coating and blue and grey bezels. It is […]
