Ten years ago, a brand that would soon become one of the most respected yet unusual members of the independent watchmaking scene was launched… in Belgium (that’s already something). From the early days, Ressence made things its own way, mostly relying on innovation and modernity, and one important feature, the ROCS display module. Where most […]
The legendary chronograph maker Angelus staged a comeback in 2015 with a collection of highly engineered timepieces. Among the modern creations of the brand were the U21 and U22, flying tourbillon watches with architectural skeletonized movements and the use of modern, technical materials. Presented once again in a CTP carbon & titanium case, their calibre […]
Czapek expands its Faubourg de Cracovie chronograph collection with the incorporation of this California Dreamin’ model. Although its name will have you humming the Mamas & the Papas 1965 hit song, it has nothing to do with nostalgia for California sunshine. Nor does it have anything to do with the historic figure of François Czapek, […]
A year after its introduction, Audemars Piguet’s controversial yet entirely novel collection, Code 11.59, sees its first major evolution with the introduction of five new time-and-date models and five new Chronograph models. When we reviewed the watch recently, our main complaint came from the lack of ‘spices’… Well, here they are, as AP spices up […]
With its numerous joint creations, Bucherer BLUE has given birth to a series of truly unique and disruptive timepieces. Think about the IWC Portugieser, the Panerai Luminor Marina or the Oris Sixty-Five Chronograph. The most recent member in this BLUE collection was created with Ulysse Nardin and is a true horological UFO. Meet the new […]
Following our first detailed video review of the Bvlgari Octo, we continue with video coverage of the latest addition to the luxury sports watch category, the new Czapek Antarctique. A watch produced by an independent watchmaker with its own, distinctive personality, this new model, as you’ll see in the video, has some pretty convincing arguments, […]
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is a watch that needs no introduction anymore. Based on one of the earliest dive watches, a model created in 1953, the modern Fifty Fathoms continues this tradition of robust, professionally-oriented aquatic timepieces with a more luxurious approach today. Already available in multiple materials – steel, titanium or gold – the […]
The Automatique Seconde Rétrograde, like all watches in the Tradition collection, is inspired by Breguet’s historical subscription watches. With most of the essential components of the historic movement displayed on the dial, the 7097 dons a new ‘Breguet blue’ guilloché dial for 2020 and will be available exclusively in Breguet boutiques. Subscription watches for the […]
Porsche Design watches have a long tradition of automotive influence, in particular, the iconic 911 that has been a source of inspiration for multiple models in the brand’s range. Today, Porsche Design up its game to propose something that is directly evoking the car industry, with the launch of a programme based on production principles […]
This is it… Somehow unexpected but also envisioned by some collectors, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue. We thought Tudor was not introducing new models this year, and they proved us wrong. First in line for 2020 (and maybe the only new model), a rather simple but efficient animation of an existing watch. Based […]
