The Prospex collection by Seiko is full of important models, some however with a certain niche approach to things. The Landmaster is typically part of this category, as a watch with its fan base but probably not the one that most know about.

Beaubleu is a brand created in 2017 by Frenchman Nicolas Ducoudert Pham that we first discovered on MONOCHROME last year… One thing that has to be said is that our first encounter left us with a pleasant impression, primarily that of an elegant, original, yet coherent design ethos.

Introduced in 2007, it’s the clear-cut and simple style that captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The very first model, ref. 701 […]
As the only Swiss brand with Latin roots, it makes perfect marketing sense for Cuervo y Sobrinos to support the Iberian Historic Endurance. In this race, pre-1976 racing cars compete in different categories in circuits located primarily in Spain and Portugal. To celebrate the alliance, Cuervo y Sobrinos presents a sporty chronograph, the Historiador Historic […]
Introduced in 2020, the Longines Spirit collection has been, without a doubt, the brand’s most prolific range in the past few years.
