MB&F unveils its hypnotic Medusa clock made in collaboration – the tenth – with Swiss clockmaker L’Epée 1839. As Charris Yadigaroglou, Communication Manager of MB&F reveals in this video, Medusa is an exceptional creation because it was not conceived by founder Max Büsser. The idea came from independent designer Fabrice Gonet, who in turn was […]
The SIHH 2019 has opened its doors and since you all know it is not just about Richemont brands anymore, but other brands are exhibiting as well, it results in a flurry of new watches this time a year. Next up is a new chapter in the HYT fluidic watchmaking adventure, the HYT H1.0. Not entirely new as a mechanical watchmaking concept, but still worth having a look at a significantly redesigned H1.
For now close to a decade, Laurent Ferrier has been known for the beauty of its movements but also for the purity and elegance of its cases – the so-called signature Galet (pebble) case, with sleek, smooth lines. This creative classism has defined the brand and all of its models. For the SIHH 2019, things are about to (slightly) change, with a brand new watch – not only mechanically but also design-wise. New rectangular case and shaped movement, still pure as a Ferrier watch should be, meet the Laurent Ferrier Bridge One.
Since its introduction in 2014 (or even in 2010 if you look at the very first Zero Series, which was the predecessor of this model), the Ressence Type 1 never ceased to evolve. From the lack of crown and the original display, then followed by several colours/finishing and finally the introduction of the Squared version, this watch has become an entire collection named “Air-Filled” (contrasting with the oil-filled watches). Being fast-forward-thinkers (just look at Type 2 to understand), Ressence thought it was about time to give its emblematic watch a touch of modernity. Meet the new Type 1 Slim.
Things go fast for Singer Reimagined. The brand was created just 2 years ago by Rob Dickinson, former singer for Catherine Wheel and founder of Singer Vehicle Design, and, Marco Borraccino, an Italian watch designer and entrepreneur. Their lofty objective is to reimagine high-end watchmaking, infusing classics with novel, unique perspectives and a focus on functionality… Just a few months after its presentation, their first watch, the Track 1 (an impressive chronograph) was awarded best Chronograph at the GPHG 2018, the Oscars of Swiss watchmaking. The second opus in the series has just been presented, the new Singer Reimagined FlyTrack.
This is the new MING 19.02 Worldtimer, the fourth model to be launched by the Malaysian-based brand in less than 2 years. Following in the footsteps of the 19.01 – which was a GPHG finalist last year – this new evolution introduces a world-time complication and an automatic movement with micro-rotor. It’s officially launching today and is available to order immediately, with special pricing for those who get in early. Read on for all the details, including specs and official pricing.
Armin Strom is on a rush. After a first watch equipped with two oscillators connected by a resonance clutch spring – the revolutionary Mirrored Force Resonance – the brand unveiled an impressive development based on this concept, a dual-time watch with dual-movement – the Masterpiece 1 Dual Time Resonance. And knowing the watch, it would a shame to hide such mechanics behind an obtrusive metallic case. This is why, for SIHH 2019, Armin Strom introduces a sapphire version of Dual Time Resonance, which fully exposes its movements to the world.
Last year, at the SIHH 2018, Ressence introduced something very special! While the brand has been all about mechanical modules that display the time in a very unique way, the Ressence Type 2 added some connected functionalities to the package – no worries, it has nothing to do with a step counter or a conversation with […]
A category not often touched upon, as eligible entries are few and far between, are driver’s watches. Seasoned watch geeks or serious collectors might recall the Vacheron Constantin Historique American 1921, or even the MB&F HM8 Can-Am. However, we might have a more affordable solution to driving, preferably fast, and not having to take your […]
The story of the HM6 started in 2014 with the inaugural titanium edition. A year later, it was followed by a red gold version. In 2016, the brand introduced the Sapphire Vision model, with the upper and lower sections of the case in transparent sapphire crystal, sandwiching a centre segment of platinum or red gold. […]
