The Multifort, Mido’s best-selling automatic, anti-magnetic, water- and shock-resistant watch from the mid-1930s, continues its trajectory with the release of the Multifort M with gradient dial colours. Similar in looks to the recently released Multifort M Chronometer, the main difference is that these models are not chronometer certified, a fact that is reflected in the […]
The Hanhart Pioneer collection was born in 2011 and focused on traditional pilot chronographs. Several models, inspired by historical pilot watches the company was famous for in the 1930s and 1950s, were released. Appealing to vintage Fliegeruhren fans, the core were the legendary 417 ES reissues and inspirations, well done and competitively priced, and some […]
Released last year, the Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic made quite some noise at the time of its presentation… Surfing the trend for sporty-chic watches with integrated bracelets and a cool 1970s/1980s vibe, it was probably one of the most accessible options in this crowded market. We reviewed it, and we liked it. Sure, its very accessible […]

Mido’s modern assortment under the Multifort umbrella shares essential characteristics. The new Mido Multifort M Chronometer is here to win many fans.

While considering how to describe this new watch best, I got sidetracked thinking about how many vintage-inspired and retro-looking contemporary editions were so popular and unanimously accepted. What constitutes their appeal? Why do we keep saying how beautiful they are? Marketing efforts and sentimental issues aside, one train of thought suggested that the watchmaking business […]
We’ve covered Swiss watchmaker Formex on many occasions, and for good reasons. The brand has a distinct sense of design and offers fully equipped watches.
