Together with the chronograph, I do believe that the combination of a dive watch with a traveller’s function, a.k.a a GMT complication, makes for some of the most attractive and practical watches. In short, it’s your go-anywhere, do-anything kind of watch. And not only for summer but for any time you want to be a […]
Despite the breakthrough in materials, engineering technologies and manufacturing equipment, the new millennium has yet to produce much innovation in mechanical chronograph movement design. Still, upgrades to how chronographs function occasionally impress watchmaking enthusiasts, like the MB&F Sequential EVO or the AgenGraphe by Agenhor. Much to our joy, one of the most beautifully executed attempts […]
The Rolex Daytona, the Crown’s emblematic chronograph since 1963, celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. Over the decades, everything has been said and written about this industry icon… Everything, up until now. Because for the first time in more than 20 years, the Cosmograph Daytona undergoes a transversal update. Case, dial, hands, movement: everything has […]
Rome, la città eterna, exerts a strong gravitational pull on all Bulgari‘s products. The iconic Octo family, which takes its octagonal geometry from Ancient Roman architectural motifs, has many branches, including the invincible legion of ultra-thin record-breaking Octo Finissimo models. The Octo Roma, introduced by Bulgari in 2017, upholds its proud octagonal heritage but exhibits […]
Today, we’re starting a new video series on MONOCHROME. I guess you know that we’ve done a lot of videos recently, both in-depth movies and our video reviews, mostly of brand-new models, and you can see them all on our YouTube channel here. But now, it will be more personal! The concept is named “My […]
Anything that Omega can launch within the Speedmaster collection will be immediately compared to the one and only Moonwatch. It’s just the way it is… The original, classic Speedmaster Professional has such a formidable cult status that it has become a benchmark model for everything else Omega creates. And the comparison is hardly objective. But […]
As we stated in our in-depth article, the Tangente has been instrumental in the success of German watchmaker Nomos. Inspired by the Bauhaus era and recognisable to all, the Tangente is an emblematic model that has existed in multiple forms. Small and hand-wound, as the original concept was, but also larger and automatic, or colourful […]
Some watches are so emblematic that they alone define a brand: the Omega Speedmaster, the AP Royal Oak, or the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. When I think about Nomos, my mind can’t skip it; it always returns to the Tangente. A classic among the classics, it was actually one of four watches launched at the time […]
When you imagine a dive watch, your mind likely conjures up a very specific and stereotypical image. It’s probably a bit on the larger side, it will have well-lumed indices and maybe a different colour on the minute hand for ease of legibility, and it will definitely have a count-up, 60-minute bezel with a lumed […]
The Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT was just presented by Audemars Piguet in the pool of other new Royal Oaks, distinguished by an even more aggressive design than its Concept predecessors and an exceptional automatic rattrapante chronograph calibre 4407 with the date and 24-hour GMT functions. This watch is a rightful heir to the […]
