Earlier this year, H. Moser & Cie. introduced a brand new design, with unprecedented inspirations… A retro-styled watch, which didn’t hark back to the 1950s or the 1960s like the rest of the industry, but at something much older. This “Heritage” piece was first launched in collaboration with retailer Bucherer, as one of its “Blue […]
Founded just a few years ago, Depancel is driven by the passion for old French cars such as Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega. Now launching on Kickstarter, the brand’s latest creation, the Depancel [Re]Naissance is a tribute to an iconic car, the timelessly elegant Delage D8-120. Powered by a straight 8-cylinder engine with 120bhp (a […]
While we usually see Omega on the sporty side of things, with complications that range from the date to the annual calendar or the chronograph – except that one central tourbillon watch – complicated watches are not really part of the Biel-based brand. This was until 2017, when Omega introduced, as an exclusive limited edition in platinum, a Worldtimer version of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. This complex watch now comes back in regular production, with multiple editions in steel or in Sedna gold.
Blancpain releases a special edition of 300 pieces of its iconic Fifty Fathoms diver, this time in honour of the French Combat Swimmers Unit. The case size and movement of the 45mm Fifty Fathoms have not been altered but the watch is emblazoned with official French Army insignia on the caseback and other telltale signs […]
The Senator Chronometer has been around since 2009 and is still one of the most acclaimed watches in the entire Glashütte Original collection. Inspired by marine chronometers, it was also the first Glashütte Original watch to flaunt official chronometer status. And then comes the elegant design, the typical Saxon details and the movement itself (sorry, we love this watch here). In order to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Glashütte Original has decided to give its Senator Chronometer an elegant, contemporary facelift. And here it is.
Jaquet Droz revisits its Grande Second Dual Time watch with an azimuthal map of the Earth’s continents viewed from the North Pole. Although the movement and the layout are identical to the previous Grande Seconde Dual Time models, the integration of a map enlivens the scenery and underlines the vocation of this watch as a stylish travelling companion. As always with Jaquet Droz, the aesthetics are elegant and balanced, dominated by the prevailing figure-eight motif of the Grande Seconde collection.
Precision reaches new heights with the presentation of the Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer Tourbillon. Inspired by the original mission of the tourbillon to improve rate precision, the Senator chronometer Tourbillon marries a flying tourbillon with a stop-seconds mechanism, a zero reset and a minute detent to ensure hyper-precise time setting. Certified as a chronometer by […]
Riding the vintage wave that has flooded the watch market of late, Omega revisits its 1949 Trésor gentlemen’s dress watch. Re-edited in stainless steel, the new De Ville Trésor model incorporates Omega’s Master Co-Axial Calibre 8910, with its COSC and Master Chronometer status certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). Origins In 2014, […]
Last year marked the introduction of the revised Seamaster Diver 300M, a.k.a. the “Bond watch”, a.k.a. Omega’s entry-level diver. Renewed with a slightly larger case, a redesigned dial in ceramic, laser-engraved with the iconic wave pattern, available in multiple colours and materials, the main evolution concerned the arrival of an in-house, Master Chronometer movement. This year, Omega expands the collection with a new White Ceramic dial for the Seamaster Diver 300M.
Earlier this year, Omega introduced a new limited edition of the Speedmaster… but not any kind of edition, since this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing and thus, the 50th anniversary of a Speedmaster worn on the wrist of astronauts while walking on the Moon! And while we thought this Moonshine Gold […]
