Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Heritage Centre Seconds Funky Blue

About a year ago, H. Moser & Cie surprised us by introducing a retro-styled, pilot-inspired steel watch as an exclusive limited edition for Swiss retailer Bucherer, followed by a tourbillon model. Given the potential of this lovely entry-price steel watch, we thought that Moser would follow-up with a regular collection Heritage centre seconds… And it is now available with an electric blue dial bringing an additional touch of modernity and that unmistakable Moser twist. Meet the H. Moser & Cie Heritage Centre Seconds Funky Blue.

Introducing – De Bethune Dream Watch 6 Table Clock x @byJorgHysek

The Swiss Jura region where the De Bethune’s manufacture is located (in L’Auberson near Sainte-Croix) is known as “Haute Horlogerie wonderland”. Saint-Croix is certainly reputed for its wristwatches but also for a variety of expressions of mechanical art, in particular automata and music boxes. It is, therefore, no surprise to see De Bethune venturing beyond […]

Introducing – Omega Seamaster Diver 300M – The James Bond Limited Edition Set

A few weeks ago, Omega introduced a new Bond-themed Seamaster Diver 300M, inspired by the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, a watch that we experienced live and gave it a good, objective look. Based on the refreshed model launched in 2018, this limited edition showed multiple, rather blatant 007-inspired details, mainly visible on […]

Introducing – Ressence Type 1DXB

Ressence is a unique company… Half watchmaker, half 2.0 avant-garde designer, the brand is known for its bold and innovative timepieces – think Type 2 e-Crown – that combine a sleek design with a signature display of the time. Even if “challenging the status quo of mechanical watchmaking” is the philosophy of the brand, its […]

Introducing – Ferdinand Berthoud FB 1.3-1 Sapphire Blue Chronometer

If the name dates back to the 18th century, Ferdinand Berthoud was resurrected only recently by Chopard’s Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and his team. While manifesting respect to the Berthoud legacy, the brand’s first creations offer a superb, modern take on this heritage. These watches have received a remarkable accolade from the watch community and industry: at […]

Introducing – Oris James Morrison AoM Limited Edition

Just a month after we celebrated the Art Blakey Jazz edition by Oris, the brand from Hölstein introduces another, just as nice, jazz-inspired dressy piece in the same collection. This James Morrison edition really makes it quite hard for us to keep up with all these novelties, so let’s see if the Oris James Morrison […]

Hands-on – IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Blue Angels”

There are few brands as specialized in pilot’s watches as IWC… The brand has a long and rich pedigree in this field and, since the comeback of the collection in the mid-1990s with the Ref. 3711 and Ref. 3706, IWC has collaborated with some of the greatest squadrons and special forces – including Top Gun. […]

Armin Strom is a brand apart. Over the past few years, Serge Michel and Claude Greisler have set the foundations of this fully integrated manufacture. The young independent watchmaker has demonstrated its capacity to innovate, in particular with its Mirrored Force Resonance concept. Marking the launch of its new System 78 collection, the Armin Strom […]

Introducing – MB&F LM101 Palladium

When it was introduced back in 2014, the MB&F LM101 was a more wearable vision of the Legacy Machine concept – size-wise only, as the design was still fully steampunk-inspired. It has since been presented in a vast choice of precious metals: first in white and pink gold, then in yellow and pink gold with […]

Introducing – De Bethune Maestri’Art DW5 Armilia

Denis Flageollet, the mastermind behind De Bethune is, without doubt, one of the most talented watchmakers of the industry. His creations have placed the brand outside mainstream watchmaking, in a class of its own. De Bethune watches stand out with their technological singularity as well as their space-age design. And the new De Bethune Maestri’Art […]
