Laurent Ferrier has got to be one of the most interesting independent watchmakers out there for more than one reason. And one of the loveliest watches that he makes today is the Galet Classic Square Sector Dial Tourbillon Double Spiral watch. Why do I think it’s so great? Read on and I will tell you.
This is one perspective of the Apple Watch Series 2 from a particular type of tech guy – one who loves traditional watches and is sympathetic to cool Apple stuff, but who also feels that smartwatches have an up-hill battle trying to convince “watch people” to wear one.
In honor of the “55th Anniversary of the first automatic Grand Seiko,” Seiko released both a set of traditional-looking Grand Seiko models and modern ones intended to celebrate the Grand Seiko 62GS from 1967. In this Grand Seiko Historical Collection set of watches, two contain Seiko Spring Drive movements and two contain Hi-Beat automatic movements.

“Burning skull tattoo” is not normally what I would consider to be a solid formula for a cool new timepiece. In fact, it sounds like quite the opposite. And yet… well, let’s just say that this Bell & Ross BR01-92 Burning Skull Tattoo watch (officially “just” called the “Burning Skull”) is surprisingly not awful. Actually, it is rather well-done, in a tattoo-with-burning-skulls sort of way.
Today in Berlin, prior to the electronics trade show IFA, Samsung releases their newest smartwatch and the seventh such device in their collection with the Samsung Gear S3 – and this time around, I’m actually helping Samsung to launch it by being part of their Unpacked event.
As a limited edition of just 55 pieces, this Sinn 6200 Meisterbund I limited edition watch is going to be rather rare – but at the same time, it should also be a sign of things to come, as this is the first watch released by Sinn with an exclusive new UWD movement.
