The luxury sports watch, understand the sporty-chic steel watch with an integrated bracelet, is without doubt the hottest category on the current market. It seems that most brands need to enter this race to gain the heart of enthusiasts. H. Moser & Cie, the slightly irreverent independent watchmaker, did so in early 2020 with a highly personal watch, the fluid and curvy Streamliner.

A stopwatch designed for […]
Last year Zenith launched an unprecedented version of its Chronomaster A384 inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin the Third. It was unprecedented because this black and grey model only existed in the ‘fictionalised’ realm of gentleman-thief Lupin’s universe. Although brands like Seiko are at home producing watches dedicated to characters from Japanese […]
The Longines Legend Diver is certainly the most emblematic watch from the brand’s Heritage collection.

Recently, we took a closer look at Porsche Design‘s latest collection, watches that play on the connections between the automotive and the watchmaking industry (clearly, not many brands are as legitimate as PD to do it), the new Sport Chrono Sub Second.
