Baselworld 2019 – Bell & Ross BR 03-92 MA-1

Few brands have watches that are instantly recognizable as their own. The Bell & Ross BR series won’t be mistaken for any other brand. Developed in 2005 with the BR01 and modelled after cockpit instruments, the BR series features a somewhat polarizing square case with round dial, and some models have evolved beyond the military motif. The BR 03-92 Blue Steel with its clean, deep blue time and date dial is a good example, maintaining the iconic square case with a dressier, non-military finish. The new model presented for Baselworld 2019, named the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 MA-1, is however all about military inspiration. Back to the roots!

Baselworld 2019 – Tudor Black Bay Chrono S&G, now in Steel and Gold (Live Pics)

When Tudor first introduced its Black Bay Chrono model in 2017, there was a hullabaloo about incorporating chronograph functions on board a 200m water-resistant vintage-inspired dive watch. A diver without a rotating bezel replaced by a fixed tachymeter scale for the chronograph functions? For many, the combination of functions was unwarranted but over time, the […]

Baselworld 2019 – Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC

“If you analyze the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious,” was the credo of Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (founder of Porsche Design). “Form follows function” is something we often hear in the watch world but with Porsche Design, it is a matter of fact. Apparently simple yet perfectly functional, this has become […]

Baselworld 2019 – The new Chopard L.U.C Quattro

As part of its Baselworld 2019 collection, Chopard presents the latest livery for its L.U.C Quattro. Still equipped with its formidable, ultra-slim, four-barrelled engine, the changes are limited exclusively to the dial. Housed in a white gold case, the dial displays a discreet grey colour in line with the brand’s pursuit of the restrained and […]

Baselworld 2019 – Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic – the World’s Thinnest Mechanical Chronograph Watch

With no fewer than four world record for thinness under its belt, we thought that Bvlgari was going to settle down and enjoy its recognition as the ultimate master of ultra-thin… But we were wrong! Until now, the title for the thinnest chronograph watch (understand mechanical, of course) was in the hands of Piaget, with […]

Baselworld 2019 – Rolex Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 – White Gold, Black Ceramic Bezel and OysterFlex

Rolex has its habits… Baselworld always means an array of small novelties (different dials, different colors or different materials on existing watches) and one big novelty. And this year, the big one is a new, sportier, larger, bolder take on one not-so-hot watch, the Yacht-Master. Meet the new Rolex Yacht-Master 42, with increased size, black […]

Baselworld 2019 – The Updated Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” 126710BLNR, now with a Jubilee Bracelet

Last year, the star of the show at the Basel watch fair was the new Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi (blue-and-red) bezel and Jubilee bracelet, in steel, under the reference 126710BLRO. This was a sort of “dream come true” for watch aficionados – but not for retailers and potential buyers. Following the success of this watch, […]

Baselworld 2019 – Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm Yellow Rolesor 126603

Rolex diver’s watches engineered for deep sea exploration are cult. The latest iteration of the Sea-Dweller was presented at Baselworld 2017 and was one of the main talking piece of the fair. It is now available for the first time in yellow Rolesor (combining Oystersteel and yellow gold), with the Sea-Dweller 43mm Yellow Rolesor 126603. […]

Baselworld 2019 – Patek Philippe Aquanaut Jumbo White Gold 5168G now in Khaki Green

In 2017, Patek Philippe (sort of) celebrated the 20th anniversary of its iconic yet entry-level sports watch, the Aquanaut, by presenting an oversized “Jumbo” model in white gold with a blue dial, the reference 5168G-001. With its case increased by 2mm and its precious metal case, it a bit of a controversial piece. Well, there’s […]
