We’ve been looking at the new Nomos Club Sport neomatik 37 already in a rather extensive article here, praising its cool looks, great mechanics and mostly, its very appealing dimensions. Far from small, just perfectly sized, thin and still robust, this new sports watch by the Glashütte-based manufacturer ticks many boxes. So we thought it […]
In motorsport, every second or even a hundredth of a second can be critical. Nowadays, when marginal gains make the winner, the technology around the racers keeps track in precious detail, there are split-second chronographs and finish line cameras, and the results are factored down to a minimum. The title of an official timekeeping partner […]
Not too long ago we featured a Norwegian brand called MICROMILSPEC for the very first time. It was the first encounter with a company that before then used to fly under the radar, literally, as its watches have never been commercially available so far. Instead, MICROMILSPEC produces commissioned pieces only, in strong collaboration with military […]
There are dozens of watches within Seiko’s professional collection, also known as the Prospex line. Many of them have a true emblematic status, such as the Monster, the Samurai, the Alpinist, the Sumo and many more. Few, however, can rival with the Turtle when it comes to fame. Accessible, solid, classically-designed, typical Seiko and with […]
Alright, it’s not because our friends of Time+Tide come from Australia that this watch is upside down (well, in fact, they do live upside down, according to some beliefs… anyway…) No, there’s another reason behind this very, very confusing watch. Confusion is the master word here, and it all goes back to a meeting between […]
As you might have guessed from its name, the now very well-established Oris Divers Sixty-Five was inspired by a watch created back in… 1965. A classic skin diver model, with recreational divers in mind, it has since its comeback been made in countless editions, colours and sizes. But there’s more than just the original (and rather […]
Baltic skillfully rides the nostalgia wave, mastering the art of making vintage-inspired watches with enviable success. How many watches do you know that sell at a premium in the secondary market? We all know about certain references from Rolex, AP and Patek Philippe, but I bet you did not imagine a small French kickstart-startup of […]
Timepieces in the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner collection are the ultra-modern version of the “luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet” concept, albeit based on the design of trains and cars from the 1930s-1950s. Check out images of the streamlined locomotives – even in static, they embody speed and movement and do not look […]
Modern TAG Heuer can be a tricky brand to categorise. Are they the makers of classic and timeless pieces like the Monaco and Carrera collections? Or are they a rather familiar mainstream brand acting in slightly too many areas? Depends on who you ask. I think it’s safe to say, though, that the recent collections […]
Titoni is a genuinely independent family watch brand, founded in 1919 by Fritz Schluep in Grenchen, Switzerland, and now the company is managed by the fourth-generation Schluep. The brand has maintained its particular approach to business and watchmaking for years (a separate, interesting story). In 2013, Titoni embarked on the difficult path of developing its […]
