Watchmaker Urwerk has turned its engineering skills on a more fluid problem, tying up with Scotch whisky distillery Macallan to build a high-tech flask for its single malts. The Macallan x Urwerk Flask has a aluminium outer shell that contains a pair of titanium tanks, along with a stainless steel mouthpiece. Covered by a hinged, sprung screw cap, […]
This Throwback Thursday we go not as far back in time as we normally would. Instead, we take a closer look at an icon of more recent making, yet an icon it is. We are talking here about the Richard Mille RM 011. Introduced in 2007, it became not only one of the pillars of the brand, but also broke the mold of high-end sports watches. Now almost a decade in existence it is time to look back at some of the most memorable versions of this watch.
On night of 26 February 2017, the 89th Academy Awards opened with red carpet festivities, one of the most visible publicity events for brands and likely one of the more potent methods to enjoy the transitive properties of Hollywood Star Power to boost awareness (and hopefully sales) for many brands.…

Inventively built for a minimalist but exceptionally legible calendar display, the H. Moser & Cie. perpetual calendar is synonymous with the brand. It’s been offered in a variety of guises to date, but the new Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Purity is arguably the most significant facelift. The dial is even more minimalist than before – but not quite as bare […]
While the initial version of the Master Gyrotourbillon 1 was introduced in 2004, this complication is still part of Jaeger-LeCoultre current collection. Why this is, became clear at the SIHH, where the brand introduced us to a new edition of this iconic watch.
There aren’t many watches today that are as disruptive as the Zeitwerk was when it was first unveiled in 2009. Many liken the introduction of the Zeitwerk to that of the Lange 1 in 1994, shocking and paradigm-shifting.
