Following Part 1 of this journey through the fascinating world of independent watchmaking, which we published last week, we continue today with the second part of this collection of superb watches… Instead of looking at the watches in the conventional way from the dial side, we’re looking at them from the reverse side. And seeing […]
Two years ago, Singer Reimagined (the sister company of Singer Vehicle Design, creator of some extraordinary Restomod 911s) launched an impressive, cool-looking and mechanically innovative chronograph named “Track1”. After the Launch Edition, the brand decided to introduce city-based models, with the gold-cased Geneva Edition and the black ceramic-aluminum Hong-Kong Edition. Following this theme, here’s the […]
The bi-annual Only Watch charity auction is upon us once again. We’ve shared the entire list of entries for this year’s auction, and covered a few pieces separately so far.

Today we’re talking with Rob Dickinson, founder and creative director of Singer Vehicle Design and co-founder for watch brand Singer Reimagined. When we were preparing to film a video interview with Rob, some two years ago, I knew about the Singer Reimagined Track 1, that super cool chronograph featuring Jean-Marc Wiederecht’s innovative chronograph calibre. But […]
Things go fast for Singer Reimagined. The brand was created just 2 years ago by Rob Dickinson, former singer for Catherine Wheel and founder of Singer Vehicle Design, and, Marco Borraccino, an Italian watch designer and entrepreneur. Their lofty objective is to reimagine high-end watchmaking, infusing classics with novel, unique perspectives and a focus on functionality… Just a few months after its presentation, their first watch, the Track 1 (an impressive chronograph) was awarded best Chronograph at the GPHG 2018, the Oscars of Swiss watchmaking. The second opus in the series has just been presented, the new Singer Reimagined FlyTrack.
Yesterday, we started to look at the best watches created by independent watchmakers in 2018, with more “classical” watches (if ever the indie scene could be labelled classical). Today, in the second part of this guide, we move to the most creative, daring, highly technical of them all. Sci-fi designs, unusual displays of the time, […]

When you think about it, there aren’t many differences between one racing chronograph and the next. Of course, designs can be different but the basics are there: 2 pushers, 3 registers, a fixed bezel with tachymeter scale, black or silver dials with coloured accents! All of these features feel so familiar that it quickly became the norm… but not for everyone! Some thought that a racing chronograph could be reinvented, reimagined and reshaped to offer something new, different and, in the end, highly desirable. This has a name: the Singer Reimagined Track 1, and today we take a closer look at the Geneva Edition and its superb pale yellow gold case.
When thinking of yellow gold, the first thing that may come to your mind is your parents’ or grandparents’ watch. Well, if you feel yellow gold is outdated, it might be time for a change. The status symbol of the 1960s to 1980s is making a comeback. As trends come and go, it fits perfectly in the current vintage craze – just like the unexpected comeback of the 1980s spirit in fashion and music. And interestingly, the way watchmakers use it today makes it look super chic and trendy. Here are 6 of the most notable yellow gold watches introduced recently.
