Warning: This watch review with a difference may contain traces of mancrush. So let’s address the chiselled jaw on the elephant in the room. We envy the hero of this shoot, Mr Chris Edwards, more than just a little bit. Let us count the ways.…
Last year Tudor unveiled its first manufacture movement to nigh-on internet-breaking levels of fanfare and buzz. So impressive was the MT-5621 that it overshadowed the retro-modern North Flag that showcased it. But it’s a little remarked upon fact that Tudor’s first foray into in-house happened way back in 2011, in the Tudor Heritage Advisor – one of earliest, and (in my opinion) most under-rated of the Geneva-based brand’s popular Heritage collection.…

You may have noticed we’re all about the Bell & Ross AeroGT collection this week. After all, who didn’t spend their childhood creating jet-inspired cars, and imagining a world in which they could exist. Seriously, how much fun must B&R have had working on the AeroGT – and extending the concept out into two very cool watches.…
To paraphrase Stipe et al – it’s the end of the week as we know it. We started off the week watching highlights of Juventus’s 2015 Seria A finals in preparation for Monday night’s Q&A with players hosted by Hublot. After such a promising, ahem, kick-off to the week, the following days raced by in a blur and the next thing you know, here we are, polishing off a bottle of Chivas.…
Hublot loves football. If you watched the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil this would have been abundantly clear – even the referee boards bore the distinctive porthole shape the brand is famous (and named) for. In addition to this, Hublot is the official watch of UEFA EURO 2016, and the watch of choice for a host of legendary figures and world class teams, including Turin-based Juventus.…
Action has always spoken louder than words, so it was good to see the TAG Heuer enclosure at Baselworld this year packed with watches that delivered on CEO Jean-Claude Biver’s message about embracing more disruptive, avant grade design. Happily, that walking-of-the-walk extends right across the gender divide, and one example that caught our roving eye is the Aquaracer Lady Full Ceramic.…
We’ve already met the brooding chunk of finely machined steel that is the BR03-94 AeroGT chronograph. Well, today we’re having a look at its less complicated brother – the BR03-92 AeroGT.
While the fundamentals of this time-only AeroGT are very similar to the many other BR03-92 models – namely the square 42mm case, the distinctive case screws, short lugs and chunky strap – in reality this feels like a completely different watch.…
A celebration of comics, sci-fi, gaming and general nerdery, Comic-Con International wrapped up yesterday in San Diego – and if you’re not familiar with it, think Baselworld but with less watches and more figurines. If you’re one of the thousands of fans who went along to soak up the magic, we envy you – and best of luck getting the ketchup out of your Pikachu outfit.…
“Are there any Juve fans here?” Craig Foster, Australia’s key football commentator and former Socceroo, asked the crowd gathered in a special roped-off, soccer pitch-themed area outside Monards at Crown Casino Melbourne. The eruption of noise and cheering said unequivocally, yes, yes there were.…
