The Road Through Britain: Episode 5: The Royal Observatory Of Greenwich

Sadly, every journey must come to an end, and ours was no exception. After spending 12 days on the road, covering more than 1,000 miles across Great Britain, including quite a few parked in a ferry across the Irish Sea, the finishing line was in our sights, and lucky for us, it was conveniently marked on the ground. The Greenwich Meridian would signal the end of an epic road trip.

Unimatic Modello Uno & Modello Due Watches

I do recall saying in my review of Unimatic’s inaugural watch, the Modello Uno U1-A, that I didn’t know what was next for the brand but was intrigued to find out. Well, I’ve now been satisfied with an answer, as Unimatic recently announced the release of four new watches that we introduce to you in an aBlogtoWatch exclusive.

History of the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Part 2 – The evolution of a collection (1980/2006)

As the Patek Philippe Nautilus is celebrating this year its 40th anniversary, it was time for two events: the launch of a dedicated collection by the Geneva-based Maison and, for us, it was the perfect moment to bring you a complete retrospective on this icon. Last week was part 1 and, of course, it was entirely focused on the one that started it all; the iconic reference 3700 “Jumbo”. This week, we’ll mainly focus on the evolution of the model into a proper collection, with the introduction of new versions, new sizes and new complications. And that, just before we look at the present collection… but that will come later.

Hillary Clinton was not wearing a watch during her appearance, but we do know her husband former President of the United…

Introducing: The Misfit Phase Hybrid Smartwatch

We’ve told you (and told you, and told you) that the smartwatch wars are just getting started. Not only don’t we know whether or not smartwatches will win long term adoption, but also we don’t even know what a device called a “smartwatch” will actually be in six months or a year’s time. Today, Misfit has announced the Phase Hybrid Smartwatch, the wearable technology company’s first product actually labeled a smartwatch and probably something different from what you’d expect. There are two hands, normal hour markers, and a tiny window at six o’clock to show you notifications. Could this be the future of smartwatches?

Manufacture Royale Introduces Micromegas Revolution, Two Tourbillons Rotating at Different Speeds

Micromégas is a short story by Voltaire about a giant who visits Saturn, which is populated by smaller folk. The Manufacture Royale 1770 Micromegas Revolution wristwatch also relies on dichotomy for novelty, with a pair of flying tourbillons on the dial rotating at vastly different speeds. The Voltaire connection continues with Manufacture Royale, a pocket watch factory that Voltaire […]

Hands-on Review – The Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller, when Haute Horlogerie meets ease of use

Travelling is rarely a relaxed affair. There’s the packing, the rushing to the airport or train station, losing your passport, finding it again, running the gauntlet through security. By the time you get to your destination you’re pretty much guaranteed to be exhausted (and let’s face it probably a little buzzed). The last thing you want to be doing is fiddling around trying to adjust your watch to a new time-zone. Enter the Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller, a watch as attractive as it is easy to use. When haute horlogerie meets functionality…

Speedy Tuesday – OMEGA Speedmaster Mark III

Omega’s remarkable first automatic chronograph In 1971, Omega launched the Speedmaster Mark III Automatic, the first automatic chronograph of the brand. It was presented as the next step in the Speedmaster-series: a self-winding Speedmaster. The watch featured the new, automatic chronograph movement c 1040, housed in a funky chunk of steel. In retrospect, there is […]
