The Legacy Machine No. 2 series was initially launched in 2013 in three variants; red gold, white gold and platinum. For 2017, we see the series being complete with the inclusion of an LM2 Titanium limited edition. In this edition, the stand-out feature is undoubtedly the bluish-green face of the dial, obtained using the same CVD (Chemical…
For Baselworld 2017, Tissot has announced the release of a new version of the T-Touch Solar, three years after the original T-Touch Solar was released in 2014. The new watch will be the Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar II.
Since a few months now, you probably heard about the #MakeSwissMadeGreatAgain concept launched by independent watchmaker H. Moser & Cie. With a certain love for unconventional marketing gimmicks and an ironical way of exposing the reality of the Swiss Made label, the brand made some noise. Yet, behind this, there’s a wish of promoting the real Swiss Watchmaking industry, the one we all love as collectors. Today, in order to preserve Swiss watchmaking traditions, Christie’s and H. Moser & Cie. join forces, with an upcoming auction of the Cheese Swiss Mad Watch and Swiss Alp Watch Prototype (as a start of a long term relation).
January 2017 brought us the third and, sadly, final chapter of one of the coolest, yet least-known haute horlogerie collections from F.P. Journe. Enter the F.P. Journe Vagabondage III, a quietly debuted and most likely quick-to-sell-out exercise in horological muscle-flexing by François-Paul Journe.
In today’s installment of #TBT, we’ll take a closer look at a watch that is still technically on the market – although buying it is a bit difficult outside of Germany – the Sinn Chronograph Tachymeter. This is a watch that gathers near universal praise whenever I post a picture on Instagram, but the plaudits […]
Bulgari belongs to the very few brands that can make grande complications such as chiming watches from start to finish. The entire spectrum of the grand endeavour in the rarified realm of the highest of high horology is not a simple task – it first involves conception – a grand gesture of creative genius, taking for example…
While the watches at SIHH change every year, one thing stays reassuringly the same, and that is the drama surrounding them. Sometimes it’s big, like the deregulation of the Swiss Franc. Sometimes it’s small, like a brand being a little too obsfucatory in a press release over the origins of a movement. This year everyone’s tongues seemed to be wagging about a) Moser’s cheesy take on the industry, and b) the Girard-Perregaux Laureato. Feel free to disagree with us, but we think the majority of noise around the Laureato – specifically around its look and legitimacy – is well and truly blown out of proportion, as is so often the case with ‘controversies’ like these. But that’s just the tip of the GP iceberg in 2017, with lots to discuss around other models, too. Watch on!

As you may know, today is International Women’s Day. A day designated to celebrate women and all they do, whether at home, in the office, or in their communities. I won’t get too political here as most of you likely come here to escape politics, but as this is an important day not only to me but to all women and for women’s rights (and for men who care about both) I thought it would be relevant to do a round up of my favorite HODINKEE articles about women in watches.
Hublot is teaming up with Italia Independent again, this time to create textile-inspired chronographs. Find out all about the new Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent watches here.
