Back in 2017, Audemars Piguet showed an innovative spirit by presenting its first full ceramic watch (bracelet included), the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in black. Needless to say, this watch is one of the hottest editions in the collection, with its unique stealth look and its complex movement. Based on this concept, Audemars […]
A fully openworked movement, shaped like an X, housed in a sporty, coloured and textured carbon fibre case nicknamed “magma”… Yes, Ulysse Nardin is not walking down the classic side of the street here. Let’s be honest, the brand’s latest creation is bold and extreme, but it’s also pretty cool. Let’s look at the new […]
During the “Time To Move” event organized by the Swatch Group, Omega unveiled most of this year’s novelties. This included, among others, the fully redesigned Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph. Still, this wasn’t the only diving chronograph that Omega was going to launch… It also had this cool, fresh-looking Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Chronograph in orange […]
While the star of the show for Breitling at Baselworld 2019 was the Navitimer 1959 Re-Edition (for obvious reasons explained in our review here), there was more than just this limited edition to be presented. In fact, Breitling also looked at its core collection, in particular at modern dive watches. The brand indeed presented a revised version of its robust entry-level, non-vintage-inspired Superocean. And here is our take on it, with a closer look at the 2019 Breitling Superocean Automatic 44.
One of the flagship collections of the Gutenbach-based manufacturer Hanhart, the modern Primus, is a masculine pilot chronograph relying on a bold yet easy-going style. While much more contemporary than the “Pioneer” collection, it still retains many of the classic “Flieger” elements. The latest addition to the line comes with a sleek blue dial and […]
At Baselworld 2018, Seiko Prospex’s focus was on the re-creation of the 1968 Diver 300m Reference 6159-7001, the first high-beat diving instrument of the brand. This gave birth to 3 watches; the pure vintage and high-end SLA025, to the cool green SLA019 and to the accessible but nevertheless desirable SPB077. This year, based on this modern re-interpretation of the 1968 automatic diver’s, Seiko introduces a new special edition for Europe and US markets, the Prospex “Twilight Blue” SPB097J1.
In 2016, when IWC decided to revamp its iconic Ingenieur collection, this came as a surprise. Gone was the robust “Genta-esque” case, the brand came back to the original design of the 1960s models. Among the inaugural models were some 3-hands watches and mostly some chronographs. And on top of the range was the complex Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, combining a QP and a flyback chronograph. This watch, available until now only in gold with a white dial, comes today in a new, lighter, more casual version with a grey dial and titanium case under ref. IW381802.
With HYT, the passage of time is interpreted in a different way from the usual convention of hands running over a dial. Back in 2012, HYT invented a display based on fluids to indicate both the time that has passed and the time to come. Inspired by ancient water clocks, the look of the watches […]
The Omega Seamaster is more than a collection. It is an entire family of watches, all inspired by the sea… Nautical, sporty, diver-oriented or even elegant, the Seamaster has been around since 1948 – you can watch at this in-depth video for a complete history of the Seamaster. Among all the watches in the family, […]
During the “Time To Move” event, which gathered six of the most prestigious brands of the Swatch Group, the star of the show for Breguet was the truly impressive Skeleton version of the Ultra-Thin Automatic Tourbillon. This wasn’t the only novelty and the brand also introduced an evolution of its freshly redesigned Marine collection. This […]
