A couple of years ago, Girard-Perregaux announced partnering with Aston Martin, both for its road cars and its Formula 1 team. Since then, this strategic alliance has resulted in 3 watches, with two of them bearing the most classic colour when it comes to racing UK-style, the emblematic British Racing Green tone. As you would […]
Defined as the brand’s sportiest offering, the H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer collection has been around for some years now, in various iterations. It includes a classic time-only watch, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon and even a skeleton cylindrical tourbillon edition.

It’s rather clear that Nivada is one of the brands currently on the rise, specifically when it comes to accessible vintage-inspired watches.

Norqain’s latest watch is the result of a collaboration with wildlife ambassador Dean Schneider and flaunts a trendy leopard-print pattern on the dial […]
Whenever robust, affordable dive watches are mentioned, the name Citizen is bound to pop up at some point. Sure, that other Japanese manufacturer might have dominated the market for decades, but the watches made by Citizen are not to be overlooked. Just take the very compelling Citizen Promaster Mechanical Diver 200m “Fujitsubo” as an example. […]

Released in 1968, it marked the start of a new era in the brand’s history, being the second generation of watches to feature Certina’s double-security system – which DS stands for.
