Looking at IWC’s portfolio, the Portugieser Chronograph is, without a doubt, one of the most emblematic watches around. Now in its second generation (ref. 3716), it’s a classic with a timeless appeal. In recent years, however, the Schaffhausen-based brand expanded the collection with brighter colours and more daring styles and even created an Individualisation Program to create […]
While it seems to be well established now, we have to remember that Baltic only appeared on the watchmaking scene in 2017. The brainchild of watch and car enthusiast Etienne Malec, a Frenchman whose passion for vintage chronographs was transmitted by his father, the brand is one of the most impressive success stories in recent […]
Cuervo y Sobrinos, the only Swiss watch brand with Cuban roots, celebrates Ernest Hemingway, the famous American writer who also developed a strong attachment to the Caribbean island during the last twenty years of his life.

The brand’s robust dive watches are grouped in the Seascoper family and comprised of two models: the 600m water-resistant Seascoper and the more recent 300m water-resistant Seascoper. Coinciding […]
In a collection of watches where one is more desirable than another, full ceramic Royal Oaks represents the end of the spectrum, the epitome of rare and cool.

Just in time for summer! This is how the team at Fratello announces its latest limited edition. And indeed, they might have created one of the coolest watches for summer.
