Pilot's Watches,
We drove around Italy to find the proper photo-set to introduce the 2019 Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical (and its quartz sibling, the Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Chrono Quartz). I reckon the perfect place would have been an abandoned Royal Air Force military base since we are in front of ...

Baume & Mercier,
30 minutes on the wrist,
SIHH 2019,
GMT watches are trending, and new products keep hitting the stores over and over again. Frequent travelers have perhaps increased yet joking apart and whatever the reason is, the offering of this kind of timepieces has sky-rocketed over the past two years. Baume & Mercier is among the brands to ...

Jaquet Droz,
30 minutes on the wrist,
The unveiling of the 2019 Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Dual Time confirms my guessing during the celebrations for the 280th Anniversary of Jaquet Droz; Back then, Jaquet Droz not only introduced commemorative collections and new watches geared towards the most demanding watch collectors, like the Grande Seconde Skelet-One and the ...

NOMOS Glashütte,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Baselworld 2019,
The Saxon brand has a distinctive trait when it comes to new trends: it is a trend-setter rather than a trend-follower, and their last iteration of the Orion is no different. We are amidst the fashion week, and while I'm strolling through the main streets of downtown Milan, I often ...

MIDO,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Soon after the end of Baselworld 2019, the Swatch Group gathered press media and retailers in Zürich, where they revealed all the brands' new products. Mido was among them, of course, and their latest collections are now gradually arriving at the brand's dealers across Europe. If we exclude commemorative or ...

Bulova,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Go deeper!,
Baselworld 2019,
The business of vintage watches' re-issues is very prolific, yet few are the brands whose historical pieces are so highly sought-after to deserve a modern counterpart. The Bulova Oceanographer is on top of this list: conceived during the 70s upon specific request of NATO, the Bulova Oceanographer Devil Diver helped ...

30 minutes on the wrist,
SIHH 2019,
As most brands keep reducing their new watches' overall size, there's another market trend growing at a swift pace; some brands keep releasing new alloys and unconventional materials, with ceramics being, once again, under the spotlight. Have you noticed, for instance, how many new divers' watches sporting a ceramic case ...

Rado,
30 minutes on the wrist,
I'm glad to see that Rado keeps re-issuing its historic timepieces and enlarging the current Captain Cook collection. That collection has a huge following and is equally appreciated by vintage Rado lovers and millennials, whose admiration for the brand's products grows at a steady pace. The 2019 Rado Captain Cook collection ...

Sometimes we need a break, and that is what my family and I did when we moved to the Isle of Ischia two weeks ago. The first half of the year is just behind the corner and, as I look forward to the second half, many are projects on-going at ...

Hamilton,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Hamilton is the only watch brand to showcase, on the Italian version of their official website, a page specifically dedicated to "Watches and Cinema." It proves how active is the link between the brand and the film industry; I grew up when the brand had partnered with Stanley Kubrick's 2001 ...
