Last week, we published an article that we believed was a “necessary evil”. We listed the 5 most sought-after Rolex watches currently in production and looked at their “real” market value, the reasons behind the trend and the premium you actually have to pay if you want to get your hands on these watches today. […]
When Seiko presented the Prospex LX Line at Baselworld 2019, there were long and vehement discussions on the pertinence of such a collection, and how the brand was way out of line for trying to compete with the sacred cows of Swiss watchmaking (understand here Rolex and Omega) in their own arena: sport watches with […]
After three years of quartz watches for Max Verstappen, covered here, here and here, his TAG Heuer special edition has now come of age. And despite the autumn rain and a very disappointing race last weekend for the Dutchman, spirits were high during the presentation of a watch that will most likely be sold out […]
Nordic winters are harsh and E.C.Andersson’s Denise line of affordable dive/tool watches is designed for these northern conditions. The “all-season tool watch” has received a winter makeover based on the arctic design concept seen on the previous Calypso Arctic Sport. That piece was a rugged tool watch with a dressier vibe and a light grey/white […]
Unless I’m mistaken, we hadn’t seen any Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph models since its debut in 2014. Despite having a distinctive, original presence on the watchmaking scene (and it is, admittedly, one of my favourites watches), this steel sports watch had been relatively discreet. Luckily, the Saxon brand has decided to bring back its TV-shaped […]
For the last two years, Oris has teamed up with non-profit organization Movember to help fight men’s most problematic physical and mental health issues. After the 2017 and 2018 Movember watches, Oris is today launching a new special version, based on the vintage-inspired 1970s Chronoris. Here’s the Oris Movember Edition 2019, with part of the […]
As you have probably seen (if you’re into watches, you must have seen it), this year was the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary movements ever, the El Primero – one of the first automatic chronographs launched. This has meant multiple re-editions and limited editions based on this movement, from faithful revival watches […]
The following buying guide is one that I’m not particularly fond of writing, not that the topic isn’t desirable (on the contrary) but behind these watches hides a market reality that needs to be told… Rolex has always been hot, but recently, some of its watches have become inaccessible. The scarce availability of certain Rolex […]
Great designs don’t age and this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “Nageurs de Combat” is living proof of this fact. You would think that a watch that has been revisited so many times since its first dive in 1953 would have lost its magic by now. Far from it. In the case of this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms […]
The IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph might not be the most coveted watch in the brand’s pilot collection and still, it is certainly one of the most relevant… Why, you might well ask? For the main reason that it combines two of the most practical features for such a watch; a flyback chronograph and […]
