For close to 100 years, Delma has dedicated its production to sports timepieces and to exploration. Certainly, the watches have evolved and the brand now creates modern, high-performance yet accessible pieces – for instance, the ultra-robust Blue Shark III, which can fathom depths of 4,000 metres. Today, a new watch, based on the Shell Star‘s […]
Bangalore, India isn’t typically associated with watchmaking. Far removed from historical centres in Switzerland and Germany, Bangalore has an interesting watchmaking history of its own. Hindustan Machine Tools Limited (HMT) was a state-owned brand from the 1960s and for decades represented Indian watchmaking. HMT watches were generally the only game in town with a production […]
Czapek has just launched a new communication campaign with a tagline ‘We collect rare people’. The idea is that nothing would have been possible without the Czapek community.

Whether it is the iconic Royal Oak, the robust Offshore or the recent Code 11.59, Audemars Piguet rarely looks to the past when it comes to its watches, or at least when […]
A couple of years ago, the “vintage watch of the future” was back. Indeed, a small team had decided to bring the Ikepod back to life, this mysterious brand with a design that most of us can easily recall, founded in 1994 by Oliver Ike and Marc Newson, before it stopped production in 2012 when Newson […]
It is hard to believe but MB&F is presenting its tenth Horological Machine today… without counting the multiple of editions introduced for each model. 15 years ago a man named Max Büsser, surrounded by his friends, launched a brand that would become one of the most respected of the indie scene.

If chronographs are a hot complication today, chronographs in a vintage package are even hotter, and if they happen to be fitted with a classic Minerva movement, we’re talking coveted collector’s piece here.

2020 is a leap year and MeisterSinger dedicates a limited edition model to this 4-year occurrence with Edition 366.
