Do we even need to introduce the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph anymore…? This watch certainly is amongst the most iconic pieces manufactured by the Schaffhausen-based brand and, in its modern version, sums up years of slow evolution of the Pilot’s Watch concept at IWC. Usually seen in black with a utilitarian look (under the ref. […]
The bi-annual Only Watch charity auction is upon us once again. We’ve shared the entire list of entries for this year’s auction, and covered a few pieces separately so far. Next up from the ever-impressive list of unique pieces is a surprising collaboration between Singer Reimagined and GoS Watches. A collaboration that was sparked during […]
Summer is on its way (or is already in for some of us)… Thus it is time to find the right watch to wear on the beach, on a boat, at a party, next to the pool or to hold your favourite cocktail! In short, a watch that looks cool and that can resist to this […]
When it comes to H. Moser & Cie. you certainly figure an elegant, slightly original watch with an ultra-clean “fumé” dial. And you’d be right in thinking so. However, there’s more at Neuhausen am Rheinfall (the home of the brand). The brand also has a sports watch under its sleeve, under the name Pioneer – which we’ve already reviewed here. Today, Moser launches its boldest version to date, with a signature Funky Blue dial and, more original, a black DLC-coated case. Meet the Pioneer Centre Seconds Funky Blue Black Edition.
As the largest watch retailer in Europe (if not worldwide), Bucherer has the power to ask brands to be a bit flexible and create specifically designed watches. Those are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and, as you’ve probably guessed (or already know), they all share the same theme: blue details. One of the latest models in this series that comprises multiple (cool) watches is a relatively accessible and elegant chronograph. Meet the Longines Master Collection Chronograph Bucherer Blue Editions.
An icon among icons… This is how we would sum up the Doxa SUB300. Recently, the brand has revived its most legendary model in multiple editions, starting with an almost 1-to-1 re-edition for the 50th anniversary, followed by specific “Aqualung” branded models in orange, silver or black – the so-called “Sharkhunter”. However, there was one […]
At Baselworld 2018, Maurice Lacroix surprised us by presenting its own (accessible) vision of a luxury sports watch. This watch, named Aikon, bears most of the necessary elements of the genre, yet for a fraction of the price commanded by those of the “Holy Trinity” – exclusivity and high-end finishings apart. Aware that these watches […]
When it comes to affordable automatic dive watches, you have plenty of options (especially with the Kickstarter/microbrands trend). But when it comes to serious, affordable dive watches from respected, established brands, two Japanese companies run the show… Seiko for sure, but Citizen, a century-old manufacturer, shouldn’t be overlooked. To mark 50 years of its presence […]
For the 2019 edition of Only Watch, the biennial fundraiser for research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Ulysse Nardin has taken inspiration from the developments of the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) research group REHAssist. Meet the Ulysse Nardin Exo-Skeleton X for Only Watch 2019 with its innovative case construction. According to Dr Mohamed Bouri, […]
Founded in 1918, Mido reached a huge milestone last year and celebrated its centennial. The occasion was marked with the release of the Commander Big Date featuring a big date aperture at 6 o’clock. So big, in fact, that Mido claims it’s the “largest on the market in this price segment.” First released in 1959, […]
