It turns out during the most controversial ending in Oscars history, there was a watch that happened to be right in the middle of all of it and was on the wrist of Warren Beatty tucked up his sleeve!…

Two time zones are displayed legibly: local time is indicated by the main hands, while an arrow-tipped hand points to home time. And a day and night indicator in the […]
This week in Watches & Whisky we combine the liquid gold of Glenmorangie, with the solid gold of Hublot’s Classic Fusion. Both offering more than meets the eye.
Some watches are as impressive as their name is long. This is for sure the case with the Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Spitfire by IWC. Powered by manufacture caliber 89801, this watch elevates the technical complexity of perpetual calendars to an even higher level by making the date and the month digital instead of the usual hand.
This, friends, is the big one. Sure, we’ve kept half an eye on the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards, the BAFTAs and the rest. But really, honestly, this is the only one we care about: the 89th Academy Awards, which took place tonight/yesterday/some time in the past few hours.

Firstly, it is to fill us with regret at the outstanding movies we missed at the cinema because they sounded rubbish, and which we’ll now have to watch on the small screen while the next door neighbour mows his lawn.

We’ve studied, scrutinised, zoomed, researched and mulled – and here’s our pick of the best. Mahershala Ali’s IWC Da Vinci Chronograph Edition Laureus He may have taken home the award for Actor in a Supporting Role for his part in Moonlight, but Mahershala also had a win for diversity as the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar. Meanwhile, his watch for the night was a case study…

Earlier this month Rolex announced its sponsorship of the 89th Academy Awards, part of an unannounced but larger deal that gives the watchmaker access to the archives of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which organises the Oscars. The first result of that partnership has just made its debut, with Rolex broadcasting a minute-long […]
Breitling has always been a watch manufacturer that produces masculine and cool watches. The new Colt Skyracer – which represents winning spirit, youthfulness, and dynamism – is another interesting piece that is added into the repertoire. …
Made especially for the US market in a strictly limited edition of only eight pieces, the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Technique Sapphire is unlike any other watch by the brand. Known for their exquisite and highly complicated movements, Greubel Forsey added for this particular model a complication to the mix: the case!
Busy travellers will be happy to learn that Hublot has redesigned the UNICO movement with a patented innovation to include an integrated GMT function.
In 1984 Steve Jobs was famously photographed sitting crosslegged on the floor of his living room holding the first Macintosh computer. Captured by South African photographer Norman Seeff, the series of images from the session have become iconic representations of the Apple co-founder – and turning the dinky Seiko on his wrist into a piece of […]
