A little while ago, we introduced you to an exciting, young Dutch brand named Ketelaars Watches. Not the easiest names for non-Dutch people, but the watches should do the talking. Now, a few months after our first coverage, we revisit his workshop, talk about future plans, and do a deep dive into one of his […]
Restarting The Collector’s Series was already in the planning for quite some time. Not easy with our small team, especially since part of the team is on the road a lot, so the current situation proved to be the right moment to reach out to some friends and ask them to participate. The reason why […]
After S1 and S2 naturally comes S3. Since Garrick’s introduction of the S1 in 2018, the UK based brand is dedicated to honouring traditional skills, with respect to English-style watchmaking and craftsmanship from a bygone era. This third iteration follows the same design language as the previous models and at first, might not seem that […]
The Dutch watch scene has been growing for about a decade and has been producing quite a lot of interesting pieces. One of the most intriguing micro brands coming from the Lowlands is Pellikaan Watches. 13 years down the road, this watch company is still running steadily and producing fresh new watches. Next in our […]
HYT watches are truly unique on the market, whether it is their bold design, their philosophical conception of time, the way they display the indications or mainly because they rely on fluid instead of traditional hands. Wearing an HYT watch is an experience and, like the design or not, the ingenuity of the display and […]
With such a concentration of technical and artistic talent under one roof, Pascal Raffy – owner of Bovet – can really let his imagination soar when it comes to combining complications and decorating them. The new Virtuoso VII is, in essence, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date, a sophisticated complication in itself but with a […]
After we relaunched The Collector’s Series last week, with Brice interviewing myself about my lovely old Daniel Roth Small Seconds with salmon-colour dial, we reached out to a few collectors. What I have always liked so much about this series is to find out more about the motivation of why people buy a particular watch. We spend a (more often than not) serious budget on something that tells time, but more importantly, gives pleasure. And I love to tap into that and find out what drives a collector to make his/her choice; what’s the ‘rationale’ behind a choice. Today we’re proud to feature someone with a remarkably good Instagram name, namely @WineWhiskyWatches, and we’re talking about his Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance with a beautiful guilloche dial by Kari Voutilainen.
In these times of uncertainty, agility is key for any business, and the watch industry is no exception. As the lockdown hits brick-and-mortar stores, but also as an evolution for the years to come, H. Moser & Cie. watches are now available online on the brand’s own e-store, offering a wide selection of models. To […]
Stepan Sarpaneva crafts watches like no other. The independent Finnish (just that is already unusual) watchmaker has shaped a personal creative universe, giving his watches a distinctive face, namely that of the moon. His intriguing and mysterious representation of our satellite has made his timepieces recognizable at a glance. His latest creation, Lunations, distils the […]
