Sporting different dial colours and textures and two case sizes, the 40.5mm edition of the Antarctique has been selected by Collective Horology for its fourth collaboration watch. The turquoise enamel […]
When looking at the brand’s presence and the already extensive collection it proposes, it is hard to believe that Norqain was founded only 5 years ago. Indeed, the brand was established in 2018 and has grown to become more than just a newcomer since then. Only 2 years after its inception, Norqain announced partnering with […]
The Octo Finissimo collection has been the talk of the town for the past few years at Bulgari, and for many reasons. Finissimo watches broke several thinness records and grabbed public attention and four GPHG prizes, all in a relatively short time.

Managing to extract close to 200 hours of energy from a movement that features a single barrel and that measures only 2.5mm in height is […]
There’s nothing like a good story to boost a watch’s appeal. The latest DS-2 Chronograph Automatic is a descendant of a famous Certina Chronolympic model that reached the summit and descended Mt Everest in 1970 on the wrist of Japanese daredevil Yuichiro Miura as he skied down the slopes at breakneck speed. Picking up on […]
Released in 2019, the revamped Seiko 5 Sports Series has been a hit in stores.

In 2012, Tudor unveiled its Black Bay dive watch. Borrowing design elements from earlier Tudor dive watches of the late 1950s and 1970s, the Black Bay has been a runaway success for the brand.
