Just announced, here is an opportunity to get a piece – literally – of Jaguar-cool and motorsports history for your wrist-wearing, time-telling pleasure. The limited-edition Christopher Ward C9 D-Type watch goes all out to celebrate the Jaguar D-Type cars that won the Le Mans race in 1955, 1956, and 1957.
The official opening last night of TAG Heuer’s newly redesigned Sydney flagship drew quite a crowd – far beyond the usual cluster of beautiful people who attend this kind of shindig. Located at the intersection of Pitt Street and Market Street, this is the undisputed epicentre of the city’s retail district, which made it perfect for rubberneckers hoping to spot a celeb or two sipping Champagne while trying on TAG’s tourbillon for size.…
One of the newest Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Tourbillon watches from the boutique Swiss watch maker (that is probably the smallest and most unique high-end brand under the Swatch Group umbrella) is this eight-piece limited edition reference J013033242 Grande Second Tourbillon Paillonnee you see here.
The Rolex Explorer 1016 sprawls on a table, a scant few years shy of its 30th birthday, appearing much as it did when it was produced in 1989. An odd paradox of a watch by this time, its ultimate year of production, for it must have looked like something from so long ago, but yet […]
Voutilainen is highly regarded, and rightly so, for his finely made watches that rank amongst the best in terms of movement finishing. The one of a kind GMR Triton et Sirène in white gold exemplifies Voutilainen’s craft. First introduced last year, the GMR is a more complicated version of Voutilainen’s Vingt-8 chronometer, featuring a second time zone at […]
If you are anything like me, you have been glued to your TV watching the Olympics. The excitement of countries competing against one another on the race track, pommel horse, volleyball court, or swimming pool is undeniable.

This won’t be an impartial review of a vintage watch – far from it. I own, and love, this 1960s chronograph from Breitling. I wish to explain here what led me to a watch with a 41mm case, when I usually swear by more modest sizes for my personal watches.

Months later, I wore it for seven consecutive days, and I can see that happening again in the future, many times.
There are two things you cannot escape at Rio 2016. The first is the shadow of Michael Phelps, which stretches as long and as far as that of Christ the Redeemer, the Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ that towers above the city.…
