Move over women, pink is for men too. Especially when it comes to the watch world. Today’s hottest luxury watches for men – from sporty to sophisticated and ultra complicated – are crafted in 18-karat rose gold. The rose gold phenomenon has roots dating back to the Second World War, when steel was needed for military arms. The jewelry industry turned to rose gold and consumers loved it. The color later translated into timepieces, and has been an undying love ever since. Here we bring you five fantastic rose gold watches for men.
In the world of watches, there’s a certain way of categorizing, and this usually refers to two main types of timepieces: sports watches and dress watches. Well, it is kind of short-sighted to split this way. There’s another category that sits right in the middle, which is often forgotten by watch journalists (us included), however watches that represent an impressive part of the sales: the all-rounder watch, the casual pieces which can be worn in every situation. And in that category, Tudor introduced a watch this year that will perfectly do the job, and even more than that: the Tudor Style 41mm With Fluted Bezel.
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean collection is over 10 years old. In this article we already gave you some background on the Seamaster and Planet Ocean in particular.

We’ve already got you covered in the zero to 1K category, but as you inch your way up the watch-buying food chain, the decisions don’t automatically get much easier, and the $1-2K range is just as tricky to navigate. While there’s still plenty to pick from, the quality can be all over the board in the same way it can in lower price brackets. After all, this is the spectrum where fashion houses like Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo try to sell you ETA quartz-powered timepieces for no other reason than the fact their logos adorn the dials and casebacks. Once again, we’ve sifted through the mess and cherry-picked some of our favourite pieces of 2016 that are worthy of your hard-earned. Tissot PRS 516 Automatic Small Second The entire PRS 516 line is quite appealing, however this unique and very motorsport-inspired model is the best choice in this price bracket. A trio of partially exposed subdials displays the running seconds of the watch, which, while a little convoluted at first glance, is a really clever way to add personality to its dial without opting for a chronograph. The subdials have a very gauge-like feel to them, and the horizontal striping of the…

One million. Yep, that’s right. According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) there were one million fake watches seized internationally, with an equal number of online advertisements for fake watches removed as well. We all know that the fake watch market is massive (along with similar markets for bags, shoes, belts, and other accessories), so it comes as no surprise that so many fake Rollies were seized. According to the article, in 2015, 80% of fake goods were found in Hong Kong and China, with Turkey being the number one purchasing source. Hmm, interesting.
A lot of the time the features you see as highly touted ones in upper end modern mechanical watches are features you kind of wonder about, in terms of real advantages they offer to the owner (at least when it comes to improvements in keeping time, which after all is what a watch is supposed to do).
