When it was introduced back in March 2019, the MB&F LM FlyingT was positioned by the brand as a women’s watch – in fact, the first watch entirely dedicated to women by MB&F. Since the inaugural editions were all paved with diamonds, it somehow made sense… But, as Rebecca said in her review of this […]
Robert Downey Jr., a.k.a. Iron Man on silver screens, is well known for being a watch aficionado – in particular very cool watches from indie watchmakers, including Urwerk, as spotted here. Among these, the UR-111C Black was also spotted on his wrist at the premieres of Marvel’s Avengers Endgame in New York and Los Angeles. […]
Combining associates’ names to create a watch brand is something of a tradition in the watch industry. Illustrious examples include Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet or more recently Greubel Forsey. Gaël Petermann and Florian Bédat are not yet part of the Swiss Haute Horlogerie clique, but the work of these young watchmaking talents truly […]
Switzerland is usually the country that comes to mind when you think about luxury watches decorated with artistic crafts. However, decorative techniques applied in watchmaking aren’t just reserved for Swiss makers. Japan is a land of watchmaking and of exquisite traditional craftsmanship. So, it is no surprise for a brand like Minase to display superb […]

Launched in 2015, the Roswell collection was inspired by the legendary New Mexico UFO mystery. With its case design featuring rounded dynamic curves, as well as modernly designed and finished dials, it is the most surprising of the brand’s collections. But there’s more to this watch, as with all Schwarz Etienne watches. Indeed, this piece […]
More than ten years ago Fred Dingemans started making watches, in the shed in his garden, using a self-restored lathe that has an interesting history. Since Fred limits his production to a maximum of twenty-four watches a year, the waiting list for one of his watches exceeds twelve months and I’d be fair to state that his watches are quite rare. Every watch is first designed with the client and subsequently build entirely in Fred’s atelier; a process that he shares with the client. Many years after my first visit to Fred Dingemans, we went back with the video crew, to film how Fred makes his watches.
