If you’re a soccer fan and you’ve been in the watch industry long enough, you start to see patterns in the many sponsorships which can develop during the course of a few seasons – some of them are surprisingly magical – no, I’m not going to wax lyrical about how mechanical watches represent the…
Hong Kong-based Alvarae has applied their expertise with carbon materials to offer the “Forged Carbon Armour” case as a compelling aftermarket modification to a Casio G-Shock DW6900 watch.
Every once in a while we receive the question whether we could live with just one watch, and which watch that would be. You have probably also fantasized yourself of trading (all) the watch in your collection for just one watch. One Watch Only! In this article, we take a look at watches that we […]
BASEL BUILDUP: Will it happen again? Will Rolex put a ceramic bezel on an existing watch and break Baselworld? Rumours abound we may see just that on the ‘Coke’ GMT-Master II, which has been mocked up here by those resourceful Rolex rumourmongers at Monochrome. Though, for ours, a gradated green dial on a Sea-Dweller would be far more exciting. Some years, it’s giant leaps for mankind that steal the limelight, and others it’s, well, increments on a (slightly redesigned) tachymeter.

The “MilSub,” or “Military Submariner” is a rare variant of the Rolex Submariner that was issued to the British armed forces. But when most of us think of the term “MilSub”, we think of the 5513 or 5517 with the sword hards, fully graduated bezel insert, and circled “T” on the dial that we see on Instagram or in a few different episodes of Talking Watches. But those watches date to the 1970s – and they’re pretty well studied. Today over on the Vintage Rolex Forum, Australian dealer Jed McCormack has given us a pretty detailed look at the other Rolex military Submariners.
Louis Vuitton doesn’t exhibit at Baselworld but nonetheless is announcing several new watches ahead of the trade fair: a trio of Escale complications with muted dark blue dials and bi-metal cases in titanium and precious metals. The top of the line is the Escale Spin Time Tourbillon Central Blue (pictured above), featuring a newly developed, automatic […]
Vacheron Constantin bucked the trend this year at SIHH. While many of their fellow exhibitors played it safe, bringing out crowd-pleasing steel models and revisiting their greatest hits, Vacheron Constantin walked another path, with a collection focused at the very highest end of horology. Not only did they offer mind-numbingly complex astronomical grand complication and a grand sonnerie model, they also offered some sculptural (yet still super complex) Métiers d’Art options. Oh, and they threw in some handsome new takes on existing models for good measure. Definitely not playing it safe.

We can’t think of a better reason for a first contribution to aBlogtoWatch than the launch of our first motor-sport inspired chronograph, the Geckota C-1 Racing Chronograph. As with everything Geckota, the new Seiko VK64 meca-quartz hybrid powered chrono pays respectful homage to classic vintage watches.
The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Rally Timer is a bit of a transformer as it has six main configurations, including a wristwatch that can be oriented to any angle, fob watch, desk clock, and sport or rally timing stopwatch.
It starts out as a wristwatch with the crown at 12 o’clock, but a 180-degree rotating case means it doesn’t have to stay that way. Let’s delve into what else it can do!
