Which is why Octavio Garcia and Lukas Gopp, both previously of Audemars Piguet, have joined independent forces to create a new micro brand: Gorilla. Here is the first watch born of that union, one that is aimed at the WIS in all of us, but remains affordable.
Limited to 99 pieces, the ArtyA Son of a Gun Russian Roulette Blue Blood takes the unique stylings of the brand’s earlier Russian Roulette watch and applies a blue PVD treatment to the case and dial, along with a matching blue read more…
Here’s something I didn’t think I’d see during SalonQP: six Andersen Genève worldtimer references (all five standard editions plus a worldtime chronograph) together in one room. According to Svend Andersen’s team – who are exhibiting the so-called “fifth edition” worldtimer at the Salon and who helped source the other four you see here – this is the first time so many of the company’s world-timers have found themselves next to one another.
Melbourne: a place I’ve called home for almost 9 years – that’s a third of my lifetime spent in this beautiful city. Here, the best coffees can be found in alleyway hole-in-the-wall cafes while eateries set in warehouse-styled spaces serve the most eclectic food in the country. All year long, world-level sporting events, art exhibitions…
Premium British watch brand Christopher Ward has announced a silent auction on November 7th, 2016, of the C8 P7350 Chronometer Limited Edition “000” prototype sample – with all proceeds being donated to charity.
Today, we’re back with our traditional “5 Cool Finds”, however in a slightly different formula. No worries, the deal is still the same: 5 watches that we pick for you and that deserve your interest. What is different today is that we look at an auction, the 94th watch auction from Crott Auctioneers, a German auction house with great reputation. The sale, which will occur on November 12th, 2016, features no less than 673 lots but, then again, no worries, we’re here to help you and we found 5 watches that are properly cool: 2 rare and superb modern A. Lange & Söhne and 3 vintage chronographs that couldn’t be more iconic.

Ten years ago Hublot pioneered the black-on-black-on-black look in watches. Sure, it made it hard to read the time, but when your watch looked that cool who could care? They called it (appropriately enough) ‘All Black’ and this year they’ve released a number of special limited editions to celebrate. The standout is this not-so-stealthy Big Bang. Instead of PVD or black ceramic, Hublot has created a Dark Crystal Big Bang out of black sapphire, creating a blacked-out watch that’s surprisingly lively on the wrist, full of mirror-like reflections and smoky finishes. Just don’t expect it to fly under the radar. Hublot Big Bang Unico All Black Sapphire Australian pricing and availability The Hublot Big Bang Unico All Black Sapphire, limited to 500 pieces, $81,300.
