Hands-on – The Genus GNS1.2 TD In Damascene Titanium
Last year saw the introduction of a new brand on the independent watchmaking scene, a brand that impressed with a novel way to display the time; Genus Watches. While the vast majority of watches display the time in a classic way (with 2 or 3 hands rotating over a round dial), Genus came with something radical, […]

GAME ON: Gucci and Fnatic have bridged two worlds with their new collaborative dive watch
In the timeless words of Lil Pump, “Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang!)”. Evidently, Italian fashion juggernaut Gucci has heeded these wise words of advice, because the vogue maison’s gang has just swelled considerably, as a result of partnering with eSport giant Fnatic. For those of you who don’t indulge in video games, this may seem like a slightly odd move for a company whose usual remit has been making luxury sandals … but it may prove to be a smart one. In fact, just last year, Yahoo Finance published a story that stated, “Gaming is the fastest-growing form of entertainment in the world. Revenues have been increasing globally at a clip of 9.7 per cent per year. Last year (2018), video game revenues totalled $139 billion. By 2022, the global video game market is estimated to be nearly $200 billion.” And this was reported before the COVID-19 global pandemic, which, if anything, has only further enhanced and necessitated the rise of esports. Fnatic was founded way back in 2004 in the UK, and according to the global esports entertainment organisation, they “are the most successful eSports brand of the…

Introducing – Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue
This is it… Somehow unexpected but also envisioned by some collectors, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue. We thought Tudor was not introducing new models this year, and they proved us wrong. First in line for 2020 (and maybe the only new model), a rather simple but efficient animation of an existing watch. Based […]
INTRODUCING: The Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01313, where a dressy blue dial meets a proper diver
This year appears to be Year of the Luminor for Panerai. Having redefined the warranty with the lavishly lumed and 3D printed PAM01117, the introduction of the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01313 sees a bit more restraint return, with classic Luminor design cues but a similarly luscious blue sunburst dial. With its technologically impressive three-day movement, and price tag to match, this Luminor Marina straddles the line between work and play better than many previous attempts. Though, to be fair, recent years have seen the brand separate the two – granting dressier dials like this. As far as dressy divers go, this PAM01313 strikes a slick balance between rugged tool and sculpted beauty. As typical from the Italian designers, the 44mm Luminor cushion case makes no effort to hide itself on the wrist. Long lugs may poke past wrist constraints, although their curvature — seamlessly blending with the radius of the case’s side profile — ensures a comfortable and hugging fit. With a sapphire crystal that doesn’t protrude far from the bezel, the 15.65mm thickness isn’t afraid to embrace the theme of bulk. The beauty comes into the picture with the dial and finishing of the watch, each element being quintessentially Panerai. The…
