Chronoswiss and regulators are synonymous these days. The company was the first to introduce this style on production wristwatches back in 1987 and has built a brand identity around it. That’s not to say that three-hand and chronograph pieces don’t exist (they’re alive and well in the Sirius and Timemaster collections), but regulators have become […]
For the last two years, Oris has teamed up with non-profit organization Movember to help fight men’s most problematic physical and mental health issues. After the 2017 and 2018 Movember watches, Oris is today launching a new special version, based on the vintage-inspired 1970s Chronoris. Here’s the Oris Movember Edition 2019, with part of the […]
As you have probably seen (if you’re into watches, you must have seen it), this year was the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary movements ever, the El Primero – one of the first automatic chronographs launched. This has meant multiple re-editions and limited editions based on this movement, from faithful revival watches […]
The following buying guide is one that I’m not particularly fond of writing, not that the topic isn’t desirable (on the contrary) but behind these watches hides a market reality that needs to be told… Rolex has always been hot, but recently, some of its watches have become inaccessible.

Great designs don’t age and this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “Nageurs de Combat” is living proof of this fact. You would think that a watch that has been revisited so many times since its first dive in 1953 would have lost its magic by now. Far from it. In the case of this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms […]

The IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph might not be the most coveted watch in the brand’s pilot collection and still, it is certainly one of the most relevant… Why, you might well ask? For the main reason that it combines two of the most practical features for such a watch; a flyback chronograph and […]
There is no doubt that Longines knows its business when it comes to re-editing past models. This was true with the Avigation BigEye, the Type A-7 or the Heritage Military. Despite how good these watches were, there was always a small ‘but’ (a date, a large case…) but what you’re about to see is a […]
Corum has just unveiled two limited-edition Golden Bridge watches that combine the iconic baguette movement with 16 cables resembling a suspension bridge. The brand’s Golden Bridge collection was first introduced in 1980, but it wasn’t until 2016 that the vertical movement and architectural themes were used in a round case. Prototypes of the linear-built movement […]
Many brands are associated with pilot watches these days, which is among the most popular of styles. IWC, Breitling, Zenith, Laco, Hamilton and scores of others have long histories with these tools of aviation and bona fide war credentials to back up contemporary offerings. Glashütte-based Tutima is on this list and perhaps best known for […]
