As it’s the weekend after Thanksgiving and most Americans are either exhausted from eating too much or from being dragged to the mall to fight the crowds (this idea of Black Friday is spreading around the globe by the way), we thought we’d lighten your spirits by giving you a mini #TBT “Just Because” about […]
Fidel Castro, Sportsman, Cuban politician, Revolutionary… and Rolex Wearer – August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016.
Watch geeks everywhere pay attention; there’s a cool new tool for the Frederique Constant Analytics app and its available just in time for Christmas! Simply called the Frederique Constant Analytics Clip, this device attaches to just about any mechanical watch and allows the user to measure its accuracy in real time using the brand’s SwissConnect Analytics App, available on iOS and Android. Best of all it costs less than your next service and allows you to keep track of the accuracy measurements over time on a dashboard. It’s pretty cool if we do say so ourselves.
As of now, you should know that we are celebrating this year our 10th anniversary. For this reason, we are organizing several give aways. After our latest contest, where you had the opportunity to win a Garrick Leather Watch Pouch, this week we have a new one for you, and not just for one of the participants, but 4 of you will have the opportunity to win a very cool MCT Watches Leather Watch Roll. MCT Watches is one of the main actors of the “indie” watchmakers, and this is why we also want your opinion about this rather special watchmaking universe.

While the race for presidency in the USA is going on until the last minute, we’ll of course focus… on watches! And in the world of watches, we also have elections. Just two weeks ago I attended the gala award ceremony for the election of the Watch of the Year, organised by our friends of Chronos24 in Poland. And this Thursday, when we finally know who’s going to be the new tenant of the White House, is the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève – a.k.a the 2016 Edition of the GPHG. While the first becomes a bit international due to several international jury members – including yours truly – the latter can best be compared to the Oscars in the world of movies.
After (almost) four weeks with the Seiko Presage give-away, it’s time draw a winner, randomly of course. Keep an eye on you inbox (check the spam folder) because it could just be your lucky day! Now it’s time to move on to the next give-away and we have to thank David Braislford, of Garrick Watches, …
Recently, I was in the United States and took a couple hours to visit a place that had always been within 30 minutes of my house, the NAWCC Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania. The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) is a well-known entity within the USA that essentially provides a meeting place with […]
Watch Lovers GTG in London On the 4th of November Fratello Watches will host a Vintage Watch Lovers GTG in London. Similar to the previous years, we will gather for a bite and a few pints with like-minded people and friends from the watch world. You will have the chance to meet some of the writers […]
Thirty years after an act of personal divination brought the World Cup to Argentina, football superstar Diego Maradona (a.k.a “Hand of God”) was brought face-to-face with Pope Francis (a.k.a “Man of God”) for charity football tournament organized by His Holiness… and a surprise came in the middle of the game, not touched by the hand but strapped around the wrist this time.
