Long live Japan. I often find myself talking about watches with my friends, my colleagues or with people I've just met at a business dinner or during my leisure time. It is that kind of conversation that suddenly starts between two watch enthusiasts soon after they have admired each others ...

Baselworld 2014,
When I reviewed for the 1st time a Citizen Promaster (my personal Citizen Promaster Altichron in Titanium) I highlighted that rather than the many functions I may have used a couple of times in all sincerity, what amazed me the most was and still is its innovative design: it was undeniable ...

Carbon fiber, ceramic, steel but aluminum too. If I consider this type of metal and its use in the production of high tech items, I immediately think about the Lotus Elise and the frame of a Yamaha R1 but I would probably not take aluminum into consideration if I were ...

What would the world of watchmaking be today had Breguet never lived? It would be a very different world indeed and we probably wouldn't be here today to tackle the topic of mechanical complications had it not be for Breguet and his inventions, at least 50% of the haute horlogerie related articles currently ...

I will be honest: when I first saw the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial at Baselworld 2014 I was not particularly impressed. It was displayed in a cabinet at the entrance of the Omega stand, and so far that had been the only occasion where I had seen a timepiece so ...

To celebrate an icon is always a hard task. The Omega Speedmaster follows this rule too: this is one of those cases where the model name, Speedmaster, is so powerful to represent almost a brand name as it happened with the Vespa scooter, that time ago has abandoned the first ...

30 minutes on the wrist with The Swatch Sistem51 What you see in these pictures is definitely not a Swatch! Don't be mislead by its design, its colors or brand logo, as it is not a Swatch. Not just because of its name, Sistem51, but rather for if you're turning ...

30 minutes on the with The Omega De Ville Trèsor The new Omega De Ville Trèsor is the very high-end at Omega's and the standard bearer renewing a collection that needed it most. It was also, in my opinion, a bit overshadowed by other most sought after Omega's collections, although it included ...

Photo-shooting a legend The Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement LM A few days ago I met some executives from Girard-Perregaux and we soon started to talk about watches, latest news, upcoming models and a lot of new ideas, included those we are going to discuss on Horbiter (that is about to be ...

Watch Reviews,
Baselworld 2014,
If there's something that sets TAG Heuer apart from the competition is its product offering that ranges from quartz watchmaking to haute horlogerie. This approach gives an enthusiast the chance to appreciate the brand thanks to an entry level product range rather complete and affordable such as the Formula 1 ...
