The 2020 Mido's talking piece is the first hand-wound Multifort in a generation and the brand's first-ever skeletonized timepiece. The Multifort Mechanical Skeleton Limited Edition is a one-off build of 999 pieces and a surprising technical and aesthetic take from a brand whose offering includes self-winding movements with class-leading power …

The one pictured above is among 2020 Mido's major watch releases. The Mido Ocean Star GMT is an unexpected take and range extender to a collection whose mainstream offering includes diving watches. I guessed that such a model would instead belong to the Multifort's, even more so considering how much …

It indeed is, even more so, when you're required to combine an attractive price point with top-notch specifications, reliability, and build quality. When I used to work in the automotive industry, making a small car was far …

With the introduction of the Baroncelli Mechanical Limited Edition and the Multifort Mechanical Skeleton Limited Edition, Mido has, to our surprise, launched two hand-wound timepieces. The first, especially, marks Mido's offering among the ultra-thin mechanical watches. Still, they both unexpectedly prove Mido temporarily abandons a strategy focused on their mainstream …

Between a Mido watch and the Big Date complication, there's a long-lasting "love affair", it seems, at least since the Baroncelli Big Date, the most classic yet mechanically complicated wristwatch from the Swiss brand, has hit the market. Another Mido watch, the Commander, has this year celebrated sixty years of …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …
