Credor… A name that might not tell a lot to some of our readers, but that is synonymous of the best that Japan can produce in terms of high-end watchmaking. Credor is Seiko’s top of the range collection, even above the already handsome Grand Seiko watches. Since 2008 and the first Eichi watch, this name […]
Chiming watches are some of the most desirable marvels that watchmaking has ever produced. They can assume multiple forms, such as alarm watches or minute repeaters. But when it comes to watches that strike the time, that “musically indicate” the time, the rarest, most exclusive, most impressive and most desirable is the grande sonnerie. Only […]
MB&F celebrates the tenth birthday party of its much-loved HM3 Frog with three new froglets housed in transparent sapphire crystal cases with blue, purple or turquoise rotors, case gaskets and lume. The date display of former Frogs has been ditched in favour of a larger rotor and weight-saving rotating aluminium domes are used to indicate […]
The Tradition is one of the most fascinating collections from Breguet. A surprising mix of heritage, technicality and high-end finishing, these watches are a superb tribute to the watchmaking genius behind the brand’s name, Abraham-Louis Breguet. While other collections are inspired by some of his most complicated pieces, the Tradition looks at another of Breguet’s […]

The small independent brand of Kudoke is getting some much-deserved traction and attention, especially after winning the Petite Aiguille at last year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve. After their classical time-only Kudoke 1 and their prize-winning Kudoke 2 with hand-engraved day/night indicator, they released the Nocturne version of the latter, with a dark, anthracite-coloured dial. Now they are launching a collaboration piece with a splash of colour, the Kudoke 2 Grüner Wald Special Edition.
As the Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) awards ceremony is fast approaching, the competition is heating up between nominated brands. One of the categories with truly interesting contenders in the Chronometry Category. Among the pre-selected watches is the new Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 2RE. Named after an illustrious 18th-century watchmaker, the brand was revived […]
This summer, URWERK announced the final edition of the iconic UR-210. Luckily it didn’t take too long before the brand announced a successor of this staggering beauty, and to my relief, I can say it’s at least as good-looking and stealthy as the marvellous UR-210. That successor was the new UR-220 Falcon Project, which came in a carbon clad. Today, some 5 weeks after that first new UR-220, it’s time for another one. Another one in black, albeit in a slightly different shade of black… let’s have a closer look at the UR-220 All Black.
