It’s hard to imagine twelve years have passed already since we were amazed by the revolutionary (pun intended) orbital display of time by Ressence. It was extremely unusual and original when it was first presented, and it remains that way to this day. The concept uses a clever system of gears and ball bearings to […]
Some watches have slightly weird stories. And the Doxa Army is certainly one of these unicorns, an elusive watch that comes with a complex history. Still, this status makes it even more attractive and Doxa was fully aware of the potential of a re-edition. And this took the shape first of a Black Ceramic Model […]
While most watch enthusiasts are familiar with Doxa‘s signature watch, the SUB 300 collection and its variations, there are more ranges from the brand that need a bit of explanation. We can name the more contemporary SUB 600T Collection, with its 1980s style. There’s also the more accessible SUB 200 lineup, slightly simpler and less […]
Vulcain is, without a doubt, a brand with quite some prestige and deep historical background. Mostly known for its alarm watches and dedicated in-house movements, the brand has been for the past years a sort of sleeping beauty.

Today, it’s yet another Seiko 5 Sports watch that you’ll discover. It is, indeed, a never-ending story, with so many new models coming each year.

Probably one of the most discreet brands owned by the Swatch Group, Union Glashütte is its other brand to be located in the temple of fine German watchmaking (together with Glashütte Original). With a more accessible and more classic positioning, it has nevertheless some rather interesting watches in display – see the attractive 1893 Johannes […]
The names Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega should get any car enthusiast’s blood pumping. These three French car manufacturers are among the most well-respected in the vintage car industry, often laureled for their outstanding creativity and forward-thinking technology. It’s also what inspired the name of Depancel, the young French watch company with a keen sense […]
The family-owned watchmaking company Delma has quite a solid reputation when it comes to making robust and accessible sports and tool watches. One of the core collections is the Shell Star, a powerful series of dive watches with roots in the mid-1970s. The collection is home to a number of very cool and original models […]
Louis Moinet and its Owner and Creative Director, Jean-Marie Schaller, have never hidden a certain passion for anything related to space exploration and the cosmos. Many of the recent creations of the independent watchmaker are cosmic-themed watches, character-filled watches with distinctive designs and complex displays. There’s something equally important for the brand, and it’s the chronograph, […]
An unexpected success for the young independent watchmaker (maybe a bit too much of a success…), the Antarctique is a very appealing vision of a luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet, combined with high-end watchmaking credentials.
