The original Nomos Timeless Club watch sold out in only a few weeks. While we’re humbled that all of our limited editions have done well, none of them have received quite the persistent attention of the original Club. Of course, we’d never simply do a reissue. Thus, it was obvious that a new version of the Nomos Timeless Club would need to be produced.
Just as the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, a collection, no matter its eventual size or value, begins with a single watch. This is the story of the first watch that I bought for myself, one that I still own and wear 45 years later: a chronometer bearing the Bucherer name.
Girard Perregaux celebrates 225 years of history with a series of “unique” watches. The collection is said to be special for its unique dial decorations in relation to historical events. Standing ovations were also given by the brand to itself for its maiden use of the emblematic Pont d’or (that bridge) above a Microvar balance wheel.…
August 12th 2016, a day that will be remembered by Singaporeans for a long time to come.

He set an Olympic record with a time of 50.39 seconds and became the first Singaporean ever…

At Baselworld 2016, Ulysse Nardin predictably introduced a couple of new limited edition Freak watches. This one is perhaps one of our favorite Freak watches of all time, and it is the 35-piece set Ulysse Nardin FreakWing Artemis Racing Limited Edition in cool black and yellow “bumblebee” tones.
In the 46 years it’s been going, the City2Surf has grown to become the world’s largest fun run, taking place each August in Sydney, bang in the middle of the southern hemisphere’s glorious winter. This year, around 80,000 people have entered the race, which kicks off tomorrow morning at 7:50am in the city centre before meandering 14km through the Eastern Suburbs to its final destination at Bondi Beach.…
Olympic Watches Since we are in the middle of the Olympic Games 2016 I thought it would be nice to publish a Watches & Pencils special with a gold angle. We take a look at a few (historic) ‘Olympic watches’ and try to reveal their sportive ‘core’. Most of these watches are quite rare so […]
By Roberta Naas In honor of the first Mikrograph created in 1916, TAG Heuer unveils the limited edition, convertible 100th anniversary Mikrograph 1/100th of a second Automatic Chronograph that
Tourbillons. They seem to be everywhere these days, and whether you love them or not, they are here to stay. Let me start off by saying I am not generally a huge fan of tourbillons; usually I find them overdone and and a wee-bit flashy. That is not to say I don’t like any tourbillon wristwatches though (that Lange that Stephen wrote about the other day is pretty legit), just that I think some brands tend to pop a tourbillon into a watch when possible, raise the price, and ignore whether or not it’s actually improving the product at all. However, I’m always happy to see a ladies’ watch with something more complicated than a stock quartz ticker inside, and that brings us to the Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Tourbillon with Gold Bridge.
