I’ve been using the Orbita Piccolo single watch winder for almost four months now, and I have to say that I am thrilled with it for a number of reasons. The quality of build, the manageable size, and how quiet it is are successes of the product and its design.
Many of us would willingly pair a good scotch with our favorite watch. To that end, Swiss watch maker Urwerk and Scottish maker of single-malt whisky Macallan want to help you make that pairing with their new collaboration. It is not a watch, but a flask that is as complicated and overengineered as you would expect anything from Urwerk to be.
If you’re not familiar with Swiss MMT, they’re the folks behind the smartwatch technology in the connected watches from Alpina and Frederique Constant. But being tucked into a watch case is simply not all they want to do – instead, they want to be on your watch strap.
In recent years, it has become fashionable to wear bracelets alongside your watch. Whether they are comprised of beads, made of leather, or metal, they can instantly add a touch of style to your wardrobe. Our beaded bracelets are personalised for you according to your tastes, with your name initials.
The claim “we make the best safes and vaults in the world” might sound like just marketing hyperbole, but we at Brown Safe Manufacturing strive to prove that statement every day.
With the just announced Frederique Constant Analytics device, a small, easy to use, and relatively affordable watch accuracy measuring device, the promise is that checking your watch’s accuracy has gotten a whole lot easier and more convenient.
For those of us who have not studied the art of watchmaking and repair, knowing what is going on inside the movements of our mechanical watches can be daunting. That is, until a tidy tool came along in the form of the Lepsi Watch Analyzer that attaches to a watch, measures important indicators of its health and performance, and tracks it handily on your smartphone.
Yes, the Juuk Locarno bracelet is an Apple Watch accessory and, yes, there’s a Kickstarter project you can back (though it is in fact available for purchase already)… You see, I felt that this disclaimer was necessary because I am well read more…
As though set in some alternate universe from an H. G. Wells novel, MB&F brings a distinct science fiction twist to everyday objects, like a sentient robot clock, a music box built like an intergalactic starfighter, and a lineup of totally over-the-top watches, of course… But the latest genre-defying release, the MB&F Astrograph pen made in collaboration with pen maker Caran d’Ache, comes some four years in the making.
Let’s get one thing straight – MB&F is light years away from starting a robotics lab, which is probably a good thing – MIT seems to have that realm already pretty well covered. Thankfully, the Swiss watchmaker isn’t in the business of bringing us another step closer to a Skynet takeover, and is instead expanding its range of highly posable desk and tabletop clocks with the MB&F Balthazar – a steely, horological cyborg with split personalities whose inner workings reveal the same clever time-telling means that have routinely made the brand a fun one to watch.
