An Update I published this review exactly a year ago. I consider it one of the best reviews I ever did. Not because it is perfect in writing, or was the best read article on FW, but because it is a watch that simply moved me. But does it still move me, after one year and after […]
It’s 2016, so why would anyone wear a pocket watch? That’s the question I found myself asking this week as I took the Tissot Bridgeport Lepine for a test drive. And look, I’m not going to lie to you, it took more thought to integrate this 45mm little number into my life. But if you’re up for this sort of challenge, and I know plenty of you out there will dig the self-consciously anachronistic look of wearing a pocket watch, then the rewards are definitely there. It’s a great talking point and style statement. Plus, I love how it made checking the time such a deliberate activity. Oh, and the quality to price ratio was way up there too.

Longines has a winner with the new Avigation Watch Type A-7 1935. Both unusual and striking, the Avigation Watch Type A-7 1935 is a remake of a remake (the first Type A-7 arrived in 2012). But the latest Type A-7 is an improvement, being markedly smaller and more wearable – and enticingly less expensive by almost a […]
What strikes me again and again about Louis Nardin is his enviable energy and passion for the subject of watchmaking. ‘The Magic of Watches’ is one of the best books on the subject: it is written in easy, clear, and down-to-earth language. This would surely make for the perfect holiday gift.
According to a bizarre story, first reported in The Telegraph, a British sailor has been contacted by Christie’s regarding a watch he thought he had lost at sea, 18 years ago. The watch has suddenly resurfaced, in Geneva, Switzerland, and its current owner has contacted Philip McColl, 68, to quietly negotiate the price.
