Today we are bringing your attention to a new brand for MONOCHROME Watches, a brand that has been around for over a decade but hasn’t solely focused on watches since it was founded. Late last year, we were contacted by Nezumi Studios, a Swedish watchmaking company that was celebrating its tenth anniversary. Named the Voiture, […]
What do the Eiffel Tower, Rome’s Colosseum and the Guggenheim of New York have in common? Apart from being city landmarks, their architecture has provided design inspiration for Mido watches. The Mido Commander 20th Anniversary Edition marks the fifth and final installation of limited editions inspired by remarkable monuments launched throughout 2022. Inspired by the […]
A diving watch is generally considered to be very robust, has some form of rotating inner or outer bezel, is water-resistant to at least 200 meters and provides excellent legibility. But what if you’re looking for a bit more than just the time and possibly the date? What if you want to time the boiling […]
There is no denying the importance of the microbrand scene in the past couple of years. We’ve seen so many new projects coming on stage and some with a pretty impressive sense of design. Fresh, unique, disruptive or, on the contrary, highly classical, there’s room for many new actors. Well, today we’ll be talking about […]
Editor’s note: The Immortals is a new series that examines a watch that we believe deserves recognition as a bona fide modern classic. You’ll already be familiar with most of the watches, we imagine.

Much younger generations dig the old-school stuff, too, making all sorts of fashionable revivals or re-issues – watches included – popular among consumers of a broader age group. You will find an array of highly appealing old-fashioned […]
I’ve been visiting watch fairs for nearly 20 years and made it a habit to ask the watch designers I befriended what their favourite watches were among those displayed by big and small brands. Every time I was surprised by how different their Top Ten list was from the ones suggested by watch media friends […]
Developing a watch from the ground up is a daunting task, and certainly not for everyone. It takes up a lot of time and budget in order to produce a mechanical watch from scratch. Even when you outsource specific components, or perhaps even the entire production, it’s not an easy thing to do right. And […]
We looked at Peren’s Nera Rogue diver last year and were impressed with its unique design and minimalist approach. It was inspired by a very rare 1960s Blancpain diver produced under an alias, Tornek Rayville. The “Tornek Rayville TR-900” was made for the US Navy Seals, and Blancpain used the alias to bend the rules […]
