The celebration for TAG Heuer’s 160th anniversary continues with the release of four Carrera chronographs that capture the iconic DNA of the original model but in a contemporary light.

Following up on last year’s inaugural AVERAU Collection, Italian microbrand echo/neutra is launching a second series to honour the 1956 Winter Olympics VII, held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. These games had the largest number of participating countries at the time, 32 nations, and were the first Winter Olympics televised to a multi-national audience. The new […]
The well-represented Tonda family welcomes its luxury sports watch line with the new Tonda GT. Like the GTs of the car world – the Gran Turismos or Grand Touring cars designed for high speed and long-distance driving – the Tonda GT is sporty and stylish yet robust enough and comfortable for long-distance wear.

Czapek expands its Faubourg de Cracovie chronograph collection with the incorporation of this California Dreamin’ model. Although its name will have you humming the Mamas & the Papas 1965 hit song, it has nothing to do with nostalgia for California sunshine.

Atelier de Chronométrie is something special in the watchmaking scene… Truly special. And what these Barcelona-based guys are doing is absolutely fascinating. ‘Handmade’ takes on its original meaning here and wristwatches in the Atelier are crafted in the good old traditional way.

Launched during Time to Move 2019, the Grande Seconde Off-Centered Chronograph was Jaquet Droz’s most important new model of last year. To integrate the chronograph complication and not disrupt the iconic figure-eight display on the dial, a new movement was developed for the model. First offered with classic blue, grey or silver dial options, JD […]
A watch introduced in 1992 and that, back then, was met with extreme reactions with its unprecedented approach to luxury watchmaking, the Royal Oak Offshore has since been Audemars Piguet sportiest, most masculine piece – a far more robust version of the octagonal iconic model launched in 1972.
