SIHH 2017 – Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic (Hands-On)

This is the big one for Montblanc this year, the brand new TimeWalker collection. After several editions of the SIHH focusing on classical and elegant timepieces – what the brand called “accessible luxury” – Montblanc has just decided to go opposite side and presents what you don’t expect from them: a sports watch collection. In fact, this was Davide Cerrato’s main objective when he joined the brand, as Managing Director of the Watch Division. And to prove that he has done what he were asked to, here is the very appealing Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic.

Introducing the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Chrono Black Titanium

On the sidelines of SIHH 2017, TAG Heuer and the other watch brands in the LVMH Group (Hublot and Zenith) will be presenting novelties to journalists and retailers who have flocked to Geneva for the week. Following on from the full Black Ceramic Heuer-01 we showed you earlier this week, TAG returns to the roots of its collection, with …

Hands-On With The Impressive Armin Strom Edge Double Barrel Rose Gold

Recently, our contributor Peter took an in-depth look (to say the least) at a watch, and he immediately loved it. Presented at Baselworld 2016, later reviewed in our lines, the Armin Strom Edge Double Barrel, in its first execution (in black PVD-coated steel), is a robust sports watch combined with a real, technical and impressive haute horlogerie movement – as usual for the brand, with a high degree of skeletonization and of decoration. Later this year, the brand introduced the rose gold version, and today we take a closer look at it – and you’d be surprised how a change of material can transform a watch…

Omega Introduces the 2,012 Pieces Speedmaster #SpeedyTuesday Limited Edition

If you are into watches, and most definitely into an icon of watchmaking named the Omega Speedmaster, the word #SpeedyTuesday might familiar. Created in 2012 by our colleagues of Fratello Watches, this must not be sued up to a single tag for social media but more as the rallying cry of all Speedmaster passionates (and, yes, we’re amongst them). To mark this great achievement – which definitely serves Omega as a whole – the brand is proud to introduced a 2,012 pieces limited edition with several unique features, inspired by a 1978 Vintage “Alaska Project” edition, the Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition.

Introducing – TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Full Black Matt Ceramic

Most of watch lovers might know that in a few days will be the first major watch event of the year, the SIHH 2017. On the sidelines of this massive event, some other brands, traditionally exposing at the Baselworld, are also benefiting from the traffic of journalists, collectors and retailers that the SIHH can drain. One of them is not what you can call small: TAG Heuer. In order to open the festivities of the Geneva Watch Fair 2017 (Hublot and Zenith, both part of the same group, will also expose there), here is the first novelty introduced, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Full Black Matt Ceramic.

Introducing – Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPB11 and Samurai SRPB09 Blue Lagoon Limited Editions

A few days ago, our boss Frank spotted something rather surprising on Instagram, some new, never-seen-before editions of super-cool Seiko Prospex watches, published here by Seiko Watch USA. Well, for most brands, new limited editions won’t be a super-big piece of news. But here, we’re talking about Seiko Prospex and some new editions, especially because it includes the “Turtle” and the “Samurai”, are something that will definitely create some buzz inside collectors’ circles. So, as a preview of what will be showed at Baselworld 2017, here are the Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPB11 and Samurai SRPB09 Blue Lagoon Limited Editions.

Watches and Formula 1 – Episode 4 – TAG Heuer & Red Bull Racing, This Season’s BIG Surprise!

Let’s be honest, this past season of Formula 1 was not the most exciting between the usual suspects up front, just like the last three seasons have basically seen one team dominate the whole year. The battle within that team however was particularly exciting, right down to the final meters of the final lap of the final race. Amidst all that internal drama however a few teams and driver’s still managed to steal the absolute show! The talk of the town and the team and driver on everyone’s mind: Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen! This young Dutchman surprised everyone by pulling off a seemingly impossible achievement; becoming the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner. Along with his teammate, he was the only driver outside of Mercedes this season to clinch a victory, doing things on the track that no one has ever seen before! All of that is here to remind us about the partnership that goes along: TAG Heuer and Red Bull Racing – and the long history of Heuer into F1 timekeeping.

Hands-On – Oris Divers Sixty-Five Silver Dial (And Why A Bright Dial Diver Can Also Work)

In a recent piece of news, Oris announced a new iteration for the 42mm Divers Sixty-Five. While this model already exists in blue or green, it now comes with a rather unexpected dial, which even if strongly playing on the usual vintage theme of the collection (and maybe even more now) is featuring a silver color, something rather unusual for a dive watch. Well, this Oris Divers Sixty-Five Silver Dial was clearly requiring to be seen in the metal (no press photo can give credits to a watch), something we did during the brand’s pre-Baselworld Preview where we already saw the Oris Altimeter Rega Limited Edition. And believe us, it was necessary.

Review – Creux Automatiq, An Accessible Option For A Stylish Luxury Sports Watch

One of the major trends for 2016 has been the arrival of new-comers on the market – new brands, created from scratch, mainly driven by crowd-funding processes (see all these affordable “Kickstarter” campaigns, with some of them showing highly interesting projects). This trend will most definitely continue in 2017, believe us. However, most of these new projects are based on affordable, no-Swiss-Made watches – something that we, here, not necessarily dislike but a bit of good-old Helvetic quality is always welcomed. Playing on the Luxury Sports Watch concept, here is the Creux Automatiq Watch, a Swiss-Made, qualitative, yet affordable option to certain well-known luxury watches you might have in mind.
