Far from the one-trick-pony MeisterSinger appeared to be 15 years ago, the German brand shows great watchmaking with this Circularis. Still displaying the time with a single-hand (mono aiguille) but powered by a nice proprietary movement, the Circularis gets a new, slightly retro version named Old Radium. At first sight, there is one particular element […]
It’s becoming an established routine now: every month, for the last eight months since January 2019, we receive news of the latest birthday present to celebrate 25 uninterrupted years of the Lange 1.

From a concept of « Real Watches for Real People », meaning no-nonsense, practical tool watches with not much horological depth but solid manufacturing, to a higher-end, highly mechanical piece that will define the brand’s future… Oris’ latest watch had a long way to travel. We went down that same road with its creators to […]
Bell & Ross is a brand that has been defined for over two decades by its aviation and military inspirations. The creation of the BR01 in 2005 was a turning point in the history of this relatively young brand, with the introduction of the iconic round dial within a square case. 2019 marks another step in […]
Travel watches, along with blue dials and vintage aesthetics, are all the rage these days. With the advent of globalisation, GMT/UTC watches are no longer the exclusive domain of jet-setters and Pan Am pilots. Today, a wider audience of frequent flyers – and people with business interests or friends dotted around the world – are taking an interest in watches that can give them two distinct time references at a single glance. When it comes to adjusting local and home time on GMT watches, few can beat the practicality and simplicity of the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC. Unlike so many GMT models that need adjusting at the crown or via correctors, the Globetimer offers travellers a simple, intuitive way to set the local time and dons the sleek, minimalist Porsche Design aesthetic many have come to love. Released during Baselworld 2019 in four different versions, we got to spend some hands-on time with the titanium model and brown dial.

Seiko‘s footprint on classic watchmaking is growing quickly.

Since then, the collection has drastically expanded with multiple editions and complications. Today marks a strong evolution, with the introduction of the Seiko’s proprietary Spring Drive technology in the Presage line. Meet the new Seiko Presage Prestige Line Enamel Dial Spring Drive SNR037 & SNR039.

Only six watches remain in each of the 14 categories and here they are.
We all know that a watch is probably a man’s most important accessory (with its wedding ring). It reflects his personality, his way of life, it must comply with the situation and his wardrobe. There are, of course, no rules but admit that a dive watch won’t be the best option for a night at […]
