It is not the first time RJ Watches joins forces with entertainment companies to give birth to collaboration watches – think Spiderman or Batman. However, the watches you’re about to see today are the first collaboration-pieces based on the Arraw (editor’s note – Arraw is the brand’s new signature model) and the first ones to celebrate not heroes but two villains instead: the Joker and Harvey Two-face.
Porsche Design is somewhat unique in the horological world as it doesn’t simply design commemorative dials, but produces compelling watches that have real significance. In 1972, it released its first piece, the Chronograph 1. This was the first all-black coated timepiece in the world, with a black dial, case, and bracelet. Kind of hard to […]
Bucherer certainly has some impact on brands and is powerful enough to have them creating some purpose-designed watches, exclusive to its stores. These watches are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and many watch brands already participated (Tudor, IWC, Blancpain and more). All of them share a unique colour for the dial; blue. While H. Moser already participated in this concept, this time the brand decided to go in a different direction. Not only these 2 new “Moser x Bucherer Blue Editions” aren’t blue (at least for their dials) but Moser also introduces a brand new watch, totally different from the brand’s previous creations; the Heritage – a surprising retro-styled pilot’s watch.
Sleek, lightweight and innovative, carbon is in at TAG Heuer with several limited-edition watches crafted in this material recently – for instance, the Bamford Carbon Monaco or the Carbon Aquaracer models. As the end of the year quickly approaches, it is still time for TAG Heuer to celebrate the 55thanniversary of the Carrera with three Carbon limited edition watches. Based on the modern and modular version of this legendary watch, the brand unveils three new pieces equipped with the Calibre Heuer 02 and Heuer 02T.
Just a few weeks ago, on the occasion of the Monaco Yacht Show, Ulysse Nardin unveiled its new Diver Chronometer, a streamlined and cleaner take on the emblematic model. This collection is now complemented with a smaller 42mm model (vs. 44 mm for the Diver Chronometer). Most importantly, not only the diameter changes but this watch will be the new entry-level piece of the brand. For those looking for a Ulysse Nardin watch, the new Diver can be yours for CHF 5,800. Let’s take a closer look at the new Ulysse Nardin Diver 42mm.
As part of the pre-SIHH 2019 introductions, Panerai is presenting a new version of its Submersible Chrono, which lays the foundations for a new collaboration with French free-diving champion Guillaume Néry. Knowing what job the man is doing, a professional dive watch sounds like something rather relevant. This new piece is aptly named the Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Néry edition or, in more technical words, the PAM00982. Bold and sporty, it features striking blue accents and an attractive shark grey textured dial. Read on for all the details, including expected pricing.
When it comes to Hanhart, we all know that it will have something to do with Pilot’s watches. Whether modern, rugged and bold in their execution – like the Primus – or inspired by the classic Flieger chronograph concept – like the Pioneer collection, including some with a cool monopusher movement – the world of aviation and the military inspiration are always present. Today, Hanhart presents a new watch in the modern Primus range, yet focusing on another kind of pilots… Meet the Primus Black Falcon Limited Edition.
Today, Zenith, in creative partnership with Land Rover, introduces the Defy Classic Skeleton Range Rover Edition.

Produced as a limited edition of just 200 pieces, we […]
Oris launched a significant pilot’s watch back in 1938 and it’s become one of the brand’s iconic pieces. The original Big Crown Pointer Date had an oversized crown to allow easy adjustments for airmen with gloves. It also had the original date complication (patented in 1915 by A. Hammerly) that used a central pointer hand instead of the familiar date window (also patented by A. Hammerly). The watch was an affordable, reliable tool for pilots and has remained in production for 80 years. During the “Quartz Crisis” of the 1980s, the Big Crown Pointer Date helped Oris weather the storm and remain relevant, and is arguably the most important line in their portfolio. The company is celebrating this remarkable achievement with a special 40mm bronze edition with a green dial. This follows the bronze 36mm Big Crown Pointer Date that launched back in March of 2018.
Recently at the WatchTime New York show, Roland Murphy of RGM Watch Company showed off his newest collection of Art watches for men and women. Significantly different for RGM, which usually plays on the classical side of things (enamel dials or engine-turned dials) or American-inspired pieces (railroad watches), these timepieces are designed to inspire the art lover in all of us.
