The well-represented Tonda family welcomes its luxury sports watch line with the new Tonda GT. Like the GTs of the car world – the Gran Turismos or Grand Touring cars designed for high speed and long-distance driving – the Tonda GT is sporty and stylish yet robust enough and comfortable for long-distance wear. With integrated […]
Ten years ago, a brand that would soon become one of the most respected yet unusual members of the independent watchmaking scene was launched… in Belgium (that’s already something). From the early days, Ressence made things its own way, mostly relying on innovation and modernity, and one important feature, the ROCS display module. Where most […]
The legendary chronograph maker Angelus staged a comeback in 2015 with a collection of highly engineered timepieces. Among the modern creations of the brand were the U21 and U22, flying tourbillon watches with architectural skeletonized movements and the use of modern, technical materials. Presented once again in a CTP carbon & titanium case, their calibre […]
A year after its introduction, Audemars Piguet’s controversial yet entirely novel collection, Code 11.59, sees its first major evolution with the introduction of five new time-and-date models and five new Chronograph models. When we reviewed the watch recently, our main complaint came from the lack of ‘spices’… Well, here they are, as AP spices up […]
With its numerous joint creations, Bucherer BLUE has given birth to a series of truly unique and disruptive timepieces. Think about the IWC Portugieser, the Panerai Luminor Marina or the Oris Sixty-Five Chronograph. The most recent member in this BLUE collection was created with Ulysse Nardin and is a true horological UFO. Meet the new […]
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is a watch that needs no introduction anymore. Based on one of the earliest dive watches, a model created in 1953, the modern Fifty Fathoms continues this tradition of robust, professionally-oriented aquatic timepieces with a more luxurious approach today. Already available in multiple materials – steel, titanium or gold – the […]
Laurent Ferrier is coming up for its tenth anniversary this year and celebrates with the release of this Classic Origin Opaline watch in a 40mm Grade 5 titanium case and the pared-down elegance we have come to associate with Laurent Ferrier. The first time the brand recurs to titanium, this straightforward time-only model with small […]
The Automatique Seconde Rétrograde, like all watches in the Tradition collection, is inspired by Breguet’s historical subscription watches. With most of the essential components of the historic movement displayed on the dial, the 7097 dons a new ‘Breguet blue’ guilloché dial for 2020 and will be available exclusively in Breguet boutiques. Subscription watches for the […]
Last year saw the introduction of a new brand on the independent watchmaking scene, a brand that impressed with a novel way to display the time; Genus Watches. While the vast majority of watches display the time in a classic way (with 2 or 3 hands rotating over a round dial), Genus came with something radical, […]
This is it… Somehow unexpected but also envisioned by some collectors, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue. We thought Tudor was not introducing new models this year, and they proved us wrong. First in line for 2020 (and maybe the only new model), a rather simple but efficient animation of an existing watch. Based […]
