What is Speedy Tuesday? It all started in a sunny Cannes in 2012, where I stayed over for a holiday. I also remember it was actually in the Radison Blu hotel there, where I made a wristshot of one of my Speedmaster watches and posted it on-line saying “Speedy Tuesday” (it was a Tuesday). Then, […]

It entered service in August 1940, and now a tiny piece of the aircraft is part of the prototype Christopher […]
Tattoo artist Benjamin Laukis cuts a dashing figure. Impeccably dressed, impressively inked – people tend to notice when Laukis walks into a room. He’s also a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, and a watch collector of great integrity and taste. We caught up with Ben at his Northcote studio, The Black Mark, to find out about his passion for his art, and the powerful attraction he feels to the handmade over the mass-produced. Given all this, Laukis’ choice of watch is apt, the vintage lines of the TAG Heuer Calibre 18 Telemeter looks perfect on his unmistakeable wrist.

Well, it’s the 31st of October, and that means Halloween here in the United States. While some people are debating the finer points of their elaborate costumes, we’ve got something else on our minds here at the office as sunset approaches: lume shots.

We’d love to see your best Halloween wrist shots so we can share them with the rest of the HODINKEE community. Click through for details.

Like an Oscar-winning indie film, there’s a stubborn, understated brilliance to Habring2 – an Austrian-based independent manufactory whose desire to break its reliance on ETA-based movements has already yielded not one, but two Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève winners.
Hublot makes a lot of Big Bang limited editions. Like, a ton of them. This year alone, I’ve spotted at least eight Big Bang announcements in my inbox, each touting some watch that will be produced in limited numbers – and I’m sure there are plenty more that I’ve missed. All of this is to say that despite the seemingly endless parade of limited editions, when I first saw the Big Bang Sang Bleu, I felt the company could be turning the corner. This was a genuinely fresh take on the Big Bang, created in collaboration with someone interesting. I had to get a closer look.

At Seiko, the range of watches goes from extremely affordable options to ultra-high-end (really ultra) timepieces for the most meticulous collectors. Seiko Watches includes collections such as Seiko 5, Prospex, Grand Seiko or Credor. This year, the brand expanded one of its sub-collection, Presage, entirely dedicated to mechanical marvel and heritage.

After we had an in-depth look at that star of this new collection, the Presage 60th Anniversary Chronograph, it’s time to now to focus on the rest of the range, including this Seiko Presage SSA303J1 we’ll show you today, a value proposition, with mechanical movement, which screams quality.
