In 1969, Heuer (which would become TAG Heuer) revolutionized the watch industry with two great introductions… First is, of course, the launch of the calibre 11, one of three first automatic chronograph movements ever created. Second was the introduction of a watch that would later become an icon (but that wasn’t that successful back then…) […]
The introduction of the Aikon collection has been a very good surprise, back in 2018. The pleasure of a good luxury sports watch, without the waiting list or the 5-digit price tag. While the first version of the Aikon was a versatile, retrained model, Maurice Lacroix has decided to introduce a second, bolder, sportier iteration, […]

Exactly 50 years ago, mankind accomplished an impressive journey.

Their names: Armstrong and Aldrin. Their mission: Apollo 11. On their wrists, […]

One of the cool brands to have emerged recently from the “independent scene”, Reservoir stands out with its original way to display time. Created by François Moreau, the brand made its debut at Baselworld 2017. His inspiration was fueled by his passion for all things mechanical, and in particular, yesteryear measuring instruments mounted on dashboards or in cockpits: pressure gauges, speedometers, manometers, rev counters… which inspired an original time display. Let’s have a look at the Reservoir Supercharged Sport Red Zone II.
Recently, Girard-Perregaux, which is now managed by the same man as sister-brand Ulysse Nardin, has seen a rather bold evolution, with sportier designs and modernity in the construction of the movement. Still, one of the pillars of the collection remains the elegant 1966 watch – a piece usually on the restrained side, with precious metals and dressy design… Usually, because the latest version of this watch, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon, is certainly less classic.
The link between Bell & Ross and the military world is essential to the brand. This is where everything started back in the days, with timepieces manufactured by Sinn and delivered to several special forces.
