Hands-on – Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture “Panda”
The Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture got a lot of attention when it appeared in 2017. Not only did it integrate a manufacture calibre with a flyback module developed by the brand, but its price tag of just under EUR 4,000 also blew competitors out of the water. For 2020, Frederique Constant launches two new […]

VIDEO: The Longines Spirit collection range review
When we first caught wind that Longines was going to be releasing a totally new collection in 2020, we were very excited. They are a brand with a number of strongly performing collections that could easily see them sitting on their haunches, simply tweaking the recipe of their success with different dial variations, but they didn’t. Longines took the far bolder path and, with the launch of their latest Spirit collection, offer fans of the brand a blend of rich aviation heritage and contemporary watchmaking expertise. In this regard, the Longines Spirit collection is a first, drawing inspiration from a breadth of sources that are equally grounded in their past and present success. The Longines Spirit collection is already well-rounded, offering a range of dial, strap and size options. In total, there are 18 different references within the collection, which are focused on three cores. There are two time-and-date references in both 40mm and 42mm, and there is also a 42mm chronograph for those who prefer complication.

Editor’s note: When Luke wrote this post, a few months back, I had no idea who Jocko Willink was. We had an interview opportunity, he sounded like a badass, he loved his Timex, all good, sure, let’s do it. Reading it, I felt a spark of motivation, and wanted to learn more about his psychotic sub-5am fitness routines. But time marched on, life kept throwing us lemons down here in Australia, and voila, we’re back in lockdown, and I’m back in my home gym in my garage, trying to make lemonade. Read: listening to podcasts, trying to work out on a @mrgrandseiko level and counting the days until we can leave our block again. I came across one this morning that had my immediate attention. Jocko Willink on Joe Rogan (it’s embedded below the story). It had me going back to this story. In it, I found the kind of raw motivational energy I need right now. To get through this weird experience of life that is 2020. So, allow me to revisit this 1200-word power punch, maybe it will fire you up like it did me. Hats off, while I do it, to the master of the motivational story, our…
