Frederique Constant is a relatively young watch brand of 31 years but has just added a 28th in-house movement to its range with the new Slimline Power Reserve Manufacture and its FC-723 Manufacture automatic calibre. Prior movements include advanced complications such as tourbillon, perpetual calendar, chronograph and worldtimer. We now have the addition of a […]
As part of its Baselworld 2019 collection, Chopard presents the latest livery for its L.U.C Quattro. Still equipped with its formidable, ultra-slim, four-barrelled engine, the changes are limited exclusively to the dial. Housed in a white gold case, the dial displays a discreet grey colour in line with the brand’s pursuit of the restrained and […]
This is it, the list of new watches at Patek Philippe has been revealed for the 2019 Collection. While we’ve already seen the introduction of a new regulator in rose gold, there are several interesting watches, including this brand new Calatrava – design-wise, material-wise and complication-wise. Meet the Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar 5212A, a […]
While the Calatrava collection mostly comprises simple, 3-hand watches (automatic or not, with or without date), it barely features complications… Except that one watch that is so unique in the collection, first because of its display and unique combination of complications, but also because of its movement itself (at least, back when it was introduced). As a preview to what will come at Baselworld 2019, meet the new rose gold version of the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Regulator, reference 5235R.
When you think of an elegant and discreet watch, with a certain old-school dandy feel, the Master collection by Jaeger-LeCoultre won’t disappoint. We’ve seen multiple models in the past – QP, Moon, or even the cool Sector Dial editions – and all share that underrated, clean, thin, non-showy elegance that makes them timeless. As part of the SIHH 2019 (yet discreetly unveiled) was an updated version of the flagship model, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon. Sober yet complex!
Dutch brand Fromanteel is expanding their range of automatic watches, the Pendulum being their first mechanical model, followed by the recently introduced Fromanteel Pendulum Traveller. Certainly not a new watch but an updated version in the existing Pendulum collection by Fromanteel, this blue dial version adds more classy elegance to this already surprising watch. Let’s have a closer look.
Countdown mode for Baselworld 2019 has commenced and Chopard presents its first flying tourbillon combined with an automatic movement on board the elegant rose gold L.U.C. Flying T Twin. The ultra-thin case is made from “Fairmined” gold and houses an even thinner automatic movement based on Chopard’s very first manufacture movement. Decorated with a sophisticated […]
One of the big surprises of the 2018 edition of the SIHH came from Baume & Mercier with its new Baumatic collection. In case you need to refresh your memory, the Baumatics were equipped with a new calibre – called BM12-1975A – made by ValFleurier, a factory that also belongs to the Richemont Group. We […]
Since its first wristwatch was created in 1904, Cartier has carved a name for itself as a daring and innovative brand that doesn’t shy away from shapes. Decade after decade, the brand unveiled incredible and unusual shaped watches, from the Tank to the Crash and even the Baignoire. Now, Cartier takes one of its premier […]
When introduced back in 1931, the Reverso was designed with one purpose in mind: protecting its dial. It was a watch made for polo players, who needed to have the glass of their watches (at that time still mineral glass) hidden – hence the idea of a reversible case. Since then, such needs aren’t relevant […]
