The PanoMatic Lunar and PanoReserve are revisited in 2019 in gleaming red gold cases with the du jour dial colour. This is not the first time the PanoMaticLunar and the PanoReserve feature blue dials, both models have flaunted blue dials in the past but were housed in stainless steel cases. The contrast with the red […]
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 […]
The elegant figure eight that graces the dial of the Grande Seconde collection has proved particularly flexible when it comes to incorporating complications. So far this year we have seen several complications join the Grande Seconde family, including a dual time… But the most surprising was the monopusher chronograph with an “off-off-centred” display. While we’ve already […]
The Villeret is Blancpain’s classic core collection with a pronounced focus on understated elegance. Ranging from grande complications and complex calendars all the way down to ultra-thin two-handers like the latest Extra-Plate 6605, the traditional look of Villeret is unmistakable. For 2019, Blancpain adds a new 40mm GMT with date model to the Villeret line-up with manifest minimalism that fans of the collection will appreciate. We were able to spend some hands-on time with the Villeret GMT Date 6662 models in red gold, although the watch also comes in stainless steel.
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 […]
While we usually see Omega on the sporty side of things, with complications that range from the date to the annual calendar or the chronograph – except that one central tourbillon watch – complicated watches are not really part of the Biel-based brand. This was until 2017, when Omega introduced, as an exclusive limited edition in platinum, a Worldtimer version of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. This complex watch now comes back in regular production, with multiple editions in steel or in Sedna gold.
Blancpain releases a special edition of 300 pieces of its iconic Fifty Fathoms diver, this time in honour of the French Combat Swimmers Unit. The case size and movement of the 45mm Fifty Fathoms have not been altered but the watch is emblazoned with official French Army insignia on the caseback and other telltale signs […]
The Senator Chronometer has been around since 2009 and is still one of the most acclaimed watches in the entire Glashütte Original collection. Inspired by marine chronometers, it was also the first Glashütte Original watch to flaunt official chronometer status. And then comes the elegant design, the typical Saxon details and the movement itself (sorry, we love this watch here). In order to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Glashütte Original has decided to give its Senator Chronometer an elegant, contemporary facelift. And here it is.
Jaquet Droz revisits its Grande Second Dual Time watch with an azimuthal map of the Earth’s continents viewed from the North Pole. Although the movement and the layout are identical to the previous Grande Seconde Dual Time models, the integration of a map enlivens the scenery and underlines the vocation of this watch as a stylish travelling companion. As always with Jaquet Droz, the aesthetics are elegant and balanced, dominated by the prevailing figure-eight motif of the Grande Seconde collection.
