Introducing – Dietrich TC-Pure Limited Edition, with Sterile Dials
We’ve covered several Dietrich watches in the past, which showcase edgy, avant-garde designs like the DD-1 and 1969. Founded in 2010 by Emmanuel Dietrich, the brand focused on affordable eccentricity, but also flexed some horological muscle with the Perception in 2017, a complicated and sophisticated Swiss made piece with a high price to match.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: Let's admit it, we use our kids as excuses to buy watches, and other stories
Here are some little-known facts about the Friday Wind Down, which has been published pretty consistently on a Friday since 2015: Fact #1 — There have been 143 Friday Wind Downs. Fact #2 — ALL of them, every single one, was written on a Friday. Fact #3 — It’s fair to say that practically all have been written on or after 3pm on the Friday. The professional reason for this is that we want to make sure we don’t miss anything, and push it deep into the Friday paint to make sure of it. The other, closer to the truth, reason is that it’s become the last thing we do for the week. Thus, it almost always flows out of whoever’s writing it in the stream of all the things we’ve done and amidst planning for what is to publish in the days ahead. This week, the Wind Down comes as we put the finishing touches on a TAG Heuer Connected Golf Watch video that will launch in a couple of days. We’ve enlisted a pro to help us with it, as our own combined golfing experience lands us squarely in the mini-golf kings category. Thank you again, Jamie Glazier! And if anyone’s…

VIDEO: The Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946, for those that love vintage style in a modern size
The 1940s were a golden period for chronograph innovation at Longines, an era that included the now highly collectible 13ZN movement, as well as timelessly balanced and articulated designs. The depth of Longines’ archives from this period have yielded yet another handsome model that is faithful to the original, with sensitive updates to bring it into line with modern tastes. This new Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946 is slightly larger, which will appeal to those turned off by smaller vintage-styled watches, at 40mm in diameter and 12mm tall. It also houses the contemporary L895.5 automatic movement that boasts 54 hours of power reserve. Despite these small changes that bring the watch into the 21st century, the mid-century design is clear for all to see and works towards bringing such strong design together with modern movement technology. Read the longer review of this model here. Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946 pricing and availability: The Longines Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946 has an Australian RRP of $4425 and is available from Longines boutiques and online. Made in partnership with Longines. However, the opinions expressed in this article are our own in accordance with our Editorial Policy.
