Bovet creates some of the most masterfully crafted and highly complicated timepieces out there. Bovet is continuing the tradition of their Récital models with the Bovet Récital 20 Astérium watch which includes a flying tourbillon with a night sky chart, perpetual calendar, and a celestial array of astronomical functions, all with a 10-day power reserve.
In celebration of Bovet’s 195th anniversary, the brand has just announced the new Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date watch.
At Baselword 2015, Cabestan showed off its Triple Axis Tourbillon watch. The Cabestan Triple Axis Tourbillon watch is significant for a number of reasons. It was, and I believe still is, the fastest-rotating triple-axis tourbillon watch in existence.
It’s been a long time since we last heard from the Vagabondage – the unique, turtle-shaped masterpiece from watchmaker F.P. Journe. Nearly eight years, to be exact, back at a time when the Black-Eyed Peas were still topping the charts, read more…
At SIHH 2017, Panerai announced a whole bunch of new Submersible watches, and one of the more interesting ones is this, the Luminor Submersible 1950 BMG-TECH 3 Days Automatic PAM692 watch. Find out what’s unique about it here.
The use of materials in innovative and beneficial ways is the current “space race” in contemporary mechanical watches, and Panerai wants to show that it’s no slouch in this arena. The new-for-2017 Panerai LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech 3-Days watch utilizes different materials in its movement that have reduced friction to a minimum.
The Big Bang MECA-10 was announced last year, but it probably didn’t get as much attention as it deserved, which is a pity because it is rather interesting. Now, there’s a new version in Magic Gold. This is the Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Magic Gold watch.
Stemming from a challenge to Jean-Claude Biver to create a Hublot inspired by Richard Mille was the Masterpiece line that in turn gave birth to the Spirit of Big Bang watches. One thing we wish to see more of in 2017 is more bright colors in watches, and we are glad Hublot is delivering.
About a year ago exactly, Hublot debuted their very first Hublot Big Bang UNICO Sapphire watch. It was and, I believe, still is the most affordable high-end sapphire-cased watch around. Today, Hublot releases a brand new sapphire crystal-based Big Bang, and it’s easily my favorite yet with the Hublot Big Bang UNICO Magic Sapphire.
For the first time, Hublot releases a GMT watch in the Big Bang collection with an in-house movement, and I have to say, it is pretty slick. The 2017 Hublot Big Bang UNICO GMT was developed with utility and practicality in mind, and as a logical extension of where Hublot Big Bang watches with in-house movements are going.
