Call it ice blue, light blue, sky blue or arctic blue, the fact of the matter is, watches with a lighter shade of blue on the dial are hot right now. So hot in fact, it seems there’s a new one coming out every other week. Are we witnessing the shift from green, which was […]
It’s official; the summer season kicked off over a week ago, and if any of our readers live in Spain, you will have experienced the dramatic surge in temperature. In Andalucia, temperatures have reached 44.4°C, and here in Madrid, we are dealing with 38°C today. Excuse the odd meteorological introduction, but with such searing temperatures, […]
The Defy Skyline Skeleton comes strong putting the spotlight on the iconic El Primero movement, and the new reference with just a few gold elements on the dial looks like a winner. The lasting popularity of retro-vintage-inspired watch design brought us many exciting re-editions, though often very similarily-looking. In contrast, a watch stands out whenever […]
The vast majority of watches are made of stainless steel, for very practical reasons. It’s affordable, relatively easy to machine and finish and will last you a lifetime. But, for some that’s not enough and luckily there are plenty of alternatives. There’s of course the option for precious metals such as gold or platinum, or […]

Just two weeks after the 2023 edition of Watches & Wonders, we’re still feeling the excitement (and exhaustion) of 9 lengthy days of watches.
