The bonus season is around the corner, and many of us are already thinking of different ways to reward ourselves for the hard work and effort that we had put in this year. While there are various means to spend our bonuses, but Watch-Idiot-Savants (WIS) like us will probably use the money to get ourselves a new timepiece to add into our…
We previously brought you a Spot the Watch on Donald Trump Jr and his brother Eric Trump. Well just hours ago, their father Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected the next President of the United States in a major upset against Hillary Clinton. Again no politics just a focus on watches.…
Our Editor in Chief saw something interesting while watching the trailer for XXX: Return of Xander Cage starring Vin Diesel and Donnie Yen. Our resident Spotter analysed the trailer for further details and spotted a little scene that appears to be a nod to the watch of a certain Mr James Bond.…
Come next Wednesday, United States will elect their 45th President. Who will head one of the greatest countries in the world? Will it be Donald Trump, or Hillary Clinton?…
Today, we’re back with our traditional “5 Cool Finds”, however in a slightly different formula. No worries, the deal is still the same: 5 watches that we pick for you and that deserve your interest. What is different today is that we look at an auction, the 94th watch auction from Crott Auctioneers, a German auction house with great reputation. The sale, which will occur on November 12th, 2016, features no less than 673 lots but, then again, no worries, we’re here to help you and we found 5 watches that are properly cool: 2 rare and superb modern A. Lange & Söhne and 3 vintage chronographs that couldn’t be more iconic.
In our 3 previous episodes of “5 Cool Finds“, we’ve been looking at specific types of watches – multiple time-zones, super-complicated and dive watches. Probably, you’ve seen that in every article, there was at least one Rolex, and if you know your thing about watchmaking, you do understand why this brand is so well represented. Thus, instead of having one Rolex in a selection of 5 watches, we decided with our partner Chronext to focus this week only on this brand. That doesn’t mean we’re about to change our habits. You know the deal, 5 watches, all “youngtimers”, meaning not vintage but not in the collection anymore. What we have are 5 Rolex watches, from the last 2 decades, with that unique iconic flair and that are made to last a lifetime.
Rolex, the most popular watch brand in the world but unaccessible for the majority of people. Of course. However, we show you the 5 most accessible and (relatively) affordable Rolex watches in this article. We notice a lot of people buying a (high) number of cheaper watches, but really long for a Rolex. It might […]
A rare Explorer Dial 1963 Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 that was purchased in 1963 for a not so princely sum of £69 is about to earn its owner more than £100,000 over 50 years later.…
Last week’s 5 Cool Finds’ selection was for the pleasure, to awake the horology enthusiast in you. This week, we move to practical functions – which does not mean the watches you’ll are not nice pieces… Today, we want to inspire the traveler in you, with 5 watches that will help you to keep track of time in (at least) two regions of the world. GMT, dual-time, world-timer… All of these names result in the end in watches that can be seen as the most practical pieces those days. Together with our partner Chronext, here are 5 multiple time-zones watches that will benefit the travelers that all of us are these days.
Rolex GMT-Master History We feel the Rolex GMT-Master is one of the most iconic travel watches. For a long time, it was a bit in the shadow of the Rolex Submariner and Daytona, but since a couple of years, the Rolex GMT-Master increased its popularity rapidly. It is a great tool watch, which we love. […]
