Look closely and you’ll see in Blancpain watches genuinely innovative attempts that are creating new assortments of existing ideas, as well as some novel ones. Today, I’d like to look at the Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Annuel GMT watch.
The all-new Chopard L.U.C Full Strike is here, and frankly, it has everything going for it to become any real watch lover’s wet dream.
At Baselworld 2016, Chopard released this new haute joaillerie rainbow version of its 40mm-wide Imperiale watch. Strictly speaking, most people at Chopard would categorize this Chopard Imperiale Joaillerie Rainbow as a women’s watch – and perhaps, for the most part, it is.
The Angelus U40 Racing Tourbillon Skeleton watch is currently the brand’s most accessibly-priced model, and a good way of looking at it is as a smaller sibling to the more expensive Angelus U20 Ultra-Skeleton Tourbillon watch.
One thing I have in common with Arnold & Son’s designer for movements and overall brand aesthetic, Sebastien Chaulmontet, is a love of symmetry. The Arnold & Son Nebula – which is a new model for 2016 – is all about that the quest to make a movement as symmetrical-looking as possible.
Franck Muller’s Giga Tourbillon watches were launched in 2011, and even today, they are still the undisputed kings when it comes to the sheer size of their tourbillon mechanisms. We take a look at three of them here.
The Richard Mille RM50-01 G-Sensor Tourbillon Chronograph utilizes several familiar Richard Mille signatures in an entirely new configuration designed “in perfect harmony with the world of F1.” I don’t know if I can measure that kind of harmony, but this is a watch that can measure G-forces, and it is classic Richard Mille.
Today, let’s look at the elegantly simple and very satisfying new-for-2016 Breguet Classique 7147, here in 18k white gold. My love affair with many of the brand’s products such as this one continues despite the company’s mostly absent use of modern marketing or widespread communication that can easily lead one to forget the brand exists much of the time.
I have a soft spot for the California-based watch company Sisu because of their dedication to being loud. I’m loud, and so are their watches. With that said, I’m not always in the mood to wear a 50mm-wide watch like this Sisu Bravado A6-50 watch – but sometimes I am.
At Baselworld 2016, I had a sneak peak at this new limited-edition Zenith Heritage Cronometro Tipo CP-2 watch that is based on a set of 2,500 timepieces Zenith made for the Italian military in the 1960s.
