“Dutch Pride” embodied by the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Max Verstappen Special Edition

Dutch citizens and their pride, all wrapped in orange… That’s something few can understand but I have to say, I do. Indeed, I am surrounded with Dutch guys, as two of our contributors are Dutch and even our dear founder Frank is. While the Netherlands aren’t known to be the greatest country for sports, they have one man to rely on, one man that is known to be the youngest Formula One Grand Prix winner of all time. To celebrate “Dutch Pride” and this great champion, TAG Heuer unveiled yesterday night in Amsterdam the new Max Verstappen Special Edition, a watch only available for his fans and co-citizens in the Netherlands.

Introducing – Ulysse Nardin Classico Schooner America, with one crazy Cloisonne Enamel Dial tribute to the first America’s Cup

If there’s one thing that can be easily linked to Ulysse Nardin, it is the world of boats – and I mean everything related to this world, like Marine chronometers (they were the roots of this manufacture), yacht-oriented watches or a sponsorship of the world’s most famous nautical competition. While the latter partnership usually gives birth to modern and technical watches, such a this Marine Diver, tis time Ulysse Nardin pays tribute to the old-days of this race, with the Classico Schooner America, depicting on its superb dial, the first edition of 1851.

Top 10 Best Watch Bracelets

Watch Bracelets I’ve been into watches since the 1990s and started Fratello in 2004. Ever since, I’ve seen a lot of different watch bracelets. It always amazed me that only a few watch brands are getting it ‘right’ with these bracelets. Some times, they look gorgeous but wear like crap. And other times, the looks […]

Sinn 6200 Meisterbund I Watch With UWD Movement Hands-On

As a limited edition of just 55 pieces, this Sinn 6200 Meisterbund I limited edition watch is going to be rather rare – but at the same time, it should also be a sign of things to come, as this is the first watch released by Sinn with an exclusive new UWD movement.

MY WATCH STORY: Dane’s Linde Werdelin Oktopus Tattoo

It’s not often you see a Linde Werdelin in Australia – many people haven’t even heard of the brand, never mind seen one – so when we came across a Melbourne-based collector with one, we were excited. When we spoke, Dane Stokes, who describes himself on his insta feed (@the_watch_vault) as a ‘watch collector and serial flipper’, had recently managed to get his hands on a Linde Werdelin Oktopus Tattoo – a watch he’d been dreaming of for years.…

Hands-On with the De Bethune Dream Watch 5 Meteorite

A wristwatch that is out of this world – literally – the De Bethune Dream Watch 5 Meteorite both awesome and shocking. Awesome, because the wondrously blue watch case is remarkably fluid in form but milled from a meteorite, while containing a cutting edge movement with a tourbillon regulator. And it is shocking because the Dream Watch 5 costs almost half […]

TAG Heuer Launches the New Aquaracer Black Titanium in Ibiza

Superstar DJ David Guetta, who with fellow Star DJ Martin Garrix, only 20 years old and already a legend in the EDM world, celebrated the official launch in Ibiza last week-end of the new Aquaracer Black Titanium with nylon strap from TAG Heuer.

Garmin Introduces “Luxe” $1500 Fitness Smartwatch in Steel or Titanium

Best known for its GPS devices, Garmin’s latest “multisport” smartwatch aims to look more like a conventional timepiece. The Fenix Chronos does way with the usual rubber and plastic of smartwatches, and is instead cased in steel or titanium, with matching bracelets. While traditional watchmakers are trying, somewhat clumsily, to hop on the wearables bandwagon, electronics firms […]

Ulysse Nardin Classico America Watch

While you may have your own associations between watch brands and sporting activities, Ulysse Nardin has become firmly cemented – in my mind – as tied in to the boating world. No, they are not the only brand who is in the mix of competitive boat racing sponsorships, but they are the only ones that I have seen commission their own boat. Add in the marine chronometer history, and, well, an association is born. To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the America’s Cup race, the brand has released the Ulysse Nardin Classico America.

Jacob Arabo And Luca Soprana On The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon, A Tiny, Glittering Cosmos For Your Wrist (VIDEO)

Not for nothing is Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co., known for his jewelry and also for his diamond-set high jewelry watches. He’s also famous for having been the first to mine the intersection between high luxury and pop culture, and though celebrities have been an appendage to luxury marketing for as long as there have been celebrities, it was really Jacob who was responsible for making luxury watches aspirational for pop music celebrities and their fans – as well as for film stars, supermodels, and other major media figures. Over the last 10 years, however, he’s also moved into horology in a more technical way, making mechanical timepieces featuring unusual complications that really do manage to be dramatically different from what anyone else is doing.
