Video – The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic, An Accessible Luxury Sports Watch
Maurice Lacroix has been active since the mid-1970s with a consistent motto: accessible luxury and high perceived quality. The true change within this company occurred at the end of the 1990s, with the creation of the Masterpiece collection and in-house complication modules: the famous retrograde watches.

Introducing – Porsche Design 911 Chronograph Timeless Machine – Celebrating the Newly-Released Porsche 992
Porsche Design is somewhat unique in the horological world as it doesn’t simply design commemorative dials, but produces compelling watches that have real significance. In 1972, it released its first piece, the Chronograph 1. This was the first all-black coated timepiece in the world, with a black dial, case, and bracelet. Kind of hard to […]
Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Presents Two Watches For Bucherer, Including a Surprising Heritage-Pilot Watch (Live Pics)
Bucherer certainly has some impact on brands and is powerful enough to have them creating some purpose-designed watches, exclusive to its stores. These watches are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and many watch brands already participated (Tudor, IWC, Blancpain and more). All of them share a unique colour for the dial; blue. While H. Moser already participated in this concept, this time the brand decided to go in a different direction. Not only these 2 new “Moser x Bucherer Blue Editions” aren’t blue (at least for their dials) but Moser also introduces a brand new watch, totally different from the brand’s previous creations; the Heritage – a surprising retro-styled pilot’s watch.
INTRODUCING: The Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph
At SIHH 2019 in January, Montblanc will launch two new versions of the Nicolas Rieussec chronograph that it introduced last January: one in tone-on-tone of dark grey, the other in a bold mix of anthracite and richly copper-toned red gold. Having spent some time with the new pieces, I’ve fallen rather hard for the latter. It’s one of those “love at second sight” things. (Didn’t take long, though: the initial “Huh?” about the highly unusual colour scheme became “You’re the one” after – oh – a whole 15 or 20 minutes.) Since 2008 and Montblanc’s first tribute to the “time writer” or inked chronograph invented by the eponymous Rieussec in 1821, I’ve been intrigued by the model – a rare example of chronograph readings displayed in something other than the trusty old sub-dials-with-hands format. The 2018 version had me smitten: by losing a lot of the complexity of its predecessors, the design gained even more. And, rendered in tone-on-soft-silvery-tone, it was a thing of loveliness. The big deal, though, is its counter display: rather than the conventional hands rotating around fixed sub-dials, it has a fixed, double-ended pointer and a pair of side-by-side rotating sub-dials – one for chronograph 60…
