Mido is a brand that sometimes flies under the radar, at least here in the United States. Brands like Hamilton, Tissot and Longines seem to garner more attention in the USD 1,000 race, but Mido has both a storied history and portfolio that shouldn’t be overlooked. The brand’s Multifort line has been in production since […]

Honing his craft and developing his brand, he is able to give you several new, interesting options within the Holthinrichs Ornament 1 collection. […]
Black and gold or black and bronze watches are pretty hot commodities these days. Who can forget the Rolex Sea-Dweller Rolesor, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono or even the Bell & Ross BR V2-94 Belly Tanker? Oris joins the black and gold “John Player Special” gang with this Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph, a solid diver/chrono with […]
If I’m being honest, the new Garrick S2 Central Seconds is not a watch I would normally go for. I know that’s a strange way to start a review but it’s the truth. For a start, it’s not really my style of watch. I prefer something a little more modern looking. Plus, I’ve handled and […]
Here it is… The multi-million watch, potential record-breaker as the most expensive watch to be auctioned by Only Watch – remember the 5208T from 2017 (sold for CHF 6,200,000) and the 5016A from 2015 (sold for CHF 7,300,000)? What you’re looking at here is a unique example of an extremely rare piece, Patek’s most complicated […]
The Tudor Black Bay collection is a never-ending success. This model has already appeared in multiple materials – steel, PVD-coated steel, bronze, two-tone – without talking about the multiple designs, complications and size options. One concept that Tudor hasn’t explored yet is ceramic. Things are about to change, as for Only Watch 2019 the brand introduces […]
When it comes to charity auction Only Watch, F.P. Journe is always one of the highlights, not only because of the name but mainly because he usually donates a unique, unprecedented and complex watch. Remember the tantalum/chrome blue dial Tourbillon Souverain of 2015? Or the unique Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante of 2017? Well, for the 2019 […]
Call it Type 20 and not Type XX. What you see here is a true revival of the original, military-issued pilot Chronograph made by Breguet in the 1950s. Once again this year Breguet participates in Only Watch with what could be the coolest watch of the entire auction lot. Meet the Breguet Type 20 Only […]
Following the watches we’ve already presented for the charity auction Only Watch 2019, it is now time to look at Audemars Piguet’s contribution. In 2017, the Le Brassus-based brand presented a unique blue dial version of its full ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar for the fund-raising event. This year, the brand takes its latest and […]
For well over a decade Swedish craftsman Patrik Sjögren and Johan Gustafsson have been making watches, a curious blend of Damascus steel and Scandinavian heritage. Every creation in hand-forged steel features details inspired by Viking folklore and the natural beauty of Sweden’s landscape. Now, all that culminates in the Sarek Trollius, a fully engraved version […]
