Rado,
30 minutes on the wrist,
By introducing the Golden Horse collection, Rado keeps traveling back in time and discovering timepieces that marked the early years of its journey as a watchmaker. Rado is the youngest high-volume Swiss watchmaker to ever appear in the headings on any magazine, and talking vintage in an industry where its ...

MIDO,
30 minutes on the wrist,
By launching the Mido Multifort Patrimony, the Swiss brand plays the vintage-watch theme, as it did when it introduced the Mido Ocean Star Tribute, earlier this year. The new Patrimony is not apparently playing any tribute to an old Mido watch; it just draws inspiration from those ones so popular ...

Hamilton,
30 minutes on the wrist,
If we take a look at Hamilton's new product launch in 2018 and 2019, it seems the Khaki Field collection has taken center stage. New automatic timepieces, exclusive Limited Edition collectibles like the Khaki Field Murph along with oversized and bold ones like the Khaki Field Mechanical 50 (I own ...

Jaquet Droz,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Usually, I'm not too fond of a sporty take on an original classic watch, and I admit I was a bit skeptic when the first official picture of the 2019 Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic was released. Although I believe the premium brands belonging to the Swatch Group have ...

NOMOS Glashütte,
30 minutes on the wrist,
A few days ago, while winding the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Midnight Blue, an ironic and romantic old-school ad came to my mind; that ad states as follows: "This man is dangerous. He winds his watch by hand". Back in the days, I reckon that ad was (and still is) pure ...

Frederique Constant,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Baselworld 2019,
When Peter and Aletta Stas founded Frederique Constant over thirty years ago, they never imagined they would have changed the Swiss luxury watchmaking industry so profoundly. Their original value proposition was about selling a quintessentially Swiss-made timepiece in terms of build quality and precision, at a fair price. If we ...

Rado,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Every year, Rado adds a new product reference to its top-of-the-line Rado HyperChrome Chronograph collection. Even though the brand is focusing on introducing re-issues of vintage iconic pieces, like the Rado Captain Cook Automatic 42mm and the Rado Original Captain MKII to name a few, the Swiss brand has never ...

Seiko,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Go deeper!,
Baselworld 2019,
It is a common belief that any professional diving watch designed for saturation diving should have a helium escape valve. Also, the story goes that a single-piece steel case appeared just during the 70s, to be after that abandoned by all watch manufacturers. Finally, and this is the most bizarre ...

Baume & Mercier,
30 minutes on the wrist,
SIHH 2019,
We had a quick hands-on with the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic 10469 in red gold during the SIHH 2019, where the brand launched what I consider phase two of its most remarkable project released in recent years. The 2019 Clifton Baumatic has been consistently updated aesthetically in comparison to ...

MIDO,
30 minutes on the wrist,
If you're in search of a no-frills classic looking three-hand mechanical timepiece, the Mido Baroncelli is one of the most sought-after and long-lasting too, given it has turned forty-three in 2019. The collection's most remarkable anniversary was, no doubt, celebrated in 2016, when the Swiss brand added the Heritage line-up ...
