Geneva-based Cvstos and its Challenge Chrono II watch collection represent a very salient form of modern watch design. Allow me to assert that it takes courage to wear many modern watches with such contemporary designs. When you strap on something this bold, visually intense, and colorful, you are asking for attention.
A 1,000-meter-water-resistant bronze case with a meteorite dial for under $750 in a watch that actually gets made in volume and delivered – tell me if that wasn’t a glaring niche in the market. The Zelos Hammerhead is the latest and greatest proof of why indie brands are so successful.
Once in a while, I find it opportune to review a watch twice – well, sort of. I previously reviewed this Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Mechanical Black Edition reference 241720 watch on a strap, and now I am following-up with another review article on the same watch on a bracelet that is known as the reference 241740.
The Apple Watch Series 2 is the second generation connected wearable smartwatch device from the Cupertino, California, tech giant. When the original Apple Watch came out in 2014, an oft-asked question was “what would Steve Jobs think of it?”
Everyday-ready and eminently wearable, the new Raven Trekker 40 is the sort of meat-and-potatoes dive watch that makes you want to quit desk diving for the rest of your days.
A bit over a year and a half ago, I got to go hands-on with the initial version of the Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch. I was curious about it, as it was not so much a smartwatch as it was a fitness and sleep tracker hiding in a nice-looking dress watch. At the conclusion of that review, I was wondering how the entry would be received. It must have been considered a success, as a new version was released. Today, we’ll be having a look at what the latest version of the Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch has on offer.
California-based Sisu makes big watches, and that’s all they do. However, there is more to the brand and its products than that, not least a healthy dollop of character. While size matters at Sisu, they offer impressive build quality and comfort, and the Sisu Carburetor Q1 watch I am reviewing today is a good example.
Inspired by professional timekeeping instruments of today and yesterday, watches like the Tsovet SMT-LS47, SMT-FW44 are designs that the brand hopes will appeal to urbanites seeking “cool” watches with enough mechanical street cred to satisfy serious timepiece collectors and enthusiasts.
I typically have good results when mixing things which are both high-end and Japanese. Down in South Florida where performance speaks louder than pizazz, I decided see how well a Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE001 watch matched with a 2017 Infiniti QX80 Limited SUV.
Among the most collectible historic military pilot watches in the world are those produced in Glashütte, Germany, during World War II. Tutima continues to make professional-themed pilot and aviation watches, with the Tutima Grand Flieger Classic Chronograph 6402 being among the most classic-looking of their modern models.
