The Omega Seamaster is more than a collection. It is an entire family of watches, all inspired by the sea… Nautical, sporty, diver-oriented or even elegant, the Seamaster has been around since 1948 – you can watch at this in-depth video for a complete history of the Seamaster. Among all the watches in the family, […]
During the “Time To Move” event, which gathered six of the most prestigious brands of the Swatch Group, the star of the show for Breguet was the truly impressive Skeleton version of the Ultra-Thin Automatic Tourbillon. This wasn’t the only novelty and the brand also introduced an evolution of its freshly redesigned Marine collection. This […]
The news broke last summer – Nick Hayek announced that from 2019 onwards, Swatch Group and its brands would no longer be present at Baselworld. As a consequence, the luxury powerhouse decided to organise its own product presentation “Time To Move” for its most luxurious brands: Breguet, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz and […]
Even after a half-century of life, the TAG Heuer Monaco is still one of the most iconic chronographs on the market. The fame of the Monaco owes much to its cameo role on the wrist of Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie Le Mans. Back then, McQueen was known as “The King of Cool”. At […]
Seiko is taking great strides to make the now emancipated brand Grand Seiko an entity of its own, and now there is not one Grand Seiko line but three: Heritage, Elegance and Sport. Truth to be told, Heritage and Elegance are very similar, but since the Elegance Collection aims at a more refined segment the watches […]
Once you’ve seen it, you are never going to forget it. During the Swatch Group’s presentation of the 2019 novelties held last week in Switzerland, Glashütte Original presented an exclusive, limited edition model of the PanoInverse. Richly ornamented, nothing is where you would expect it to be and the balance bridge, which is displayed dial-side, […]
The classic Villeret has been one of the best-selling and most emblematic lines of Blancpain for years. One of the latest additions to the collection, the new Villeret Extra-Plate 6605 is very much in tune with its refined and understated style. Balancing timelessness and sense of place, this ultra-slim dress watch concentrates on the bare […]
While we usually see Omega on the sporty side of things, with complications that range from the date to the annual calendar or the chronograph – except that one central tourbillon watch – complicated watches are not really part of the Biel-based brand. This was until 2017, when Omega introduced, as an exclusive limited edition in platinum, a Worldtimer version of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. This complex watch now comes back in regular production, with multiple editions in steel or in Sedna gold.
Blancpain releases a special edition of 300 pieces of its iconic Fifty Fathoms diver, this time in honour of the French Combat Swimmers Unit. The case size and movement of the 45mm Fifty Fathoms have not been altered but the watch is emblazoned with official French Army insignia on the caseback and other telltale signs […]
The Senator Chronometer has been around since 2009 and is still one of the most acclaimed watches in the entire Glashütte Original collection. Inspired by marine chronometers, it was also the first Glashütte Original watch to flaunt official chronometer status. And then comes the elegant design, the typical Saxon details and the movement itself (sorry, we love this watch here). In order to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Glashütte Original has decided to give its Senator Chronometer an elegant, contemporary facelift. And here it is.
