When Laurent Ferrier steered his brand into the luxury sports watch terrain, he applied his signature formula of sensually shaped design and a precision hand-finished tourbillon engine discreetly hidden on the back. Introduced in 2019, the Grand Sport Tourbillon reflected the founders’ love of motor racing with its sleek lines and high-performance engine. The latest […]
2023 has kicked off with the LVMH Watch Week 2023 where Bulgari, TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith join forces to present some of their novelties in Singapore. As part of the new models presented by Hublot for the beginning of this year, we have a modern take on the Classic Fusion and several new versions […]
Most of you are well aware that the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet’s emblematic and (probably) most crucial watch ever, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022. An array of new models were launched for the occasion, with the star of the show being the new Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202ST. Another watch, launched a couple of months later, […]
If you were to ask anyone to describe a typical Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, you would most likely hear elements like the octagonal case/bezel, integrated bracelet, and a blue Tapisserie dial.

Zenith’s Defy Extreme erupted on the scene in 2021 as a high-testosterone brother to the already virile, heavy-duty, high-performance Defy collection. Making its debut with a 1/100th of a second chronograph with two escapements, the Defy Extreme is back with an even more complex high-frequency chronograph movement equipped with two independent tourbillon mechanisms.

The manufacture Roger Dubuis has gone a long way before settling to build the “future of hyper-horology.” The brand’s vision of this future is a radical one. It is mechanically complex, flamboyant, excessive and expensive, so out of reach for the general population. Still, Roger Dubuis and its Excalibur watches remain a favourite for sheer […]
Timepieces in the H.
