How can you make a promise and not keep it? It is like seeing a timepiece that you do like on display, wanting it, than telling yourself that it's not the case to buy it, only to go back to that store in the afternoon and buy it. That's exactly ...

Baselworld 2014,
TUDOR has defined it as “Retro-Chic”, I would rather call it “Neo-Vintage”. Whatever the attribute, the TUDOR Style is the Geneva based maison's proposition, among classic timepieces, that adds to the Glamour collection and aims at attracting those customers who would never buy a timepiece from the Heritage collection, regarded ...

If the Carrera logo was not clearly visible, the crown at 10 might just look like any helium escape valve on the case since, from a distance, that red lettering on the dial easily reads “Diver”, and might be misleading. If you, meanwhile, take a look at its strap and ...

L.Leroy is not just a name appointed to one of the so many re-branding operations in today's watchmaking industry. This is a brand that needs no introduction to the general public, so long as you are aware of French haute horologerie. If you were by chance close to Besançon, please take ...

It sometimes happens that something you had not considered at first glance eventually, as time goes by, it becomes slightly different: this is how I'd describe my feelings nearly four months after Baselworld 2014, about the TUDOR Heritage Ranger, one of the timepieces the Geneva based watchmaker has unveiled during the fair and ...

Last march, only a day before the official opening of Baselworld 2014, I had the opportunity to preview some of the novelties TUDOR would have unveiled during the fair. The following day, during the official press conference, Philippe Peverelli and Davide Cerrato, CEO and Head of Marketing & Product Development ...

Unusual? Yes! Irreverent? Definetely. This is the HUBLOT Classic Fusion Tourbillon Black Skeleton Skull, the latest creation from the brand that has first launched, successfully, the “skull-mania” in haute horologerie, following up that which HYDROGENJEANS, the renowned Italian fashion brand and leader in co-branding, has made in fashion wear. The HUBLOT ...

Baselworld 2014,
At Baselworld 2014 all our eyes, including mine, were fixed on the new Carrera with panda dial and caliber CH80 only to find out that the project CH80 had been set aside so as to concentrate on the development of the caliber 1887, but, like it or not, it drew our attention ...

It is rather difficult to write about almost any timepiece after having pleased our readers for two days with a review of a piece of haute horlogerie such as the Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon; this is true unless you are about to propose something similar (e.g. a tourbillon) or superior in ...

30 minutes on the wrist The Girard-Perregaux Neo Tourbillon Which, in your opinion, is the best way to celebrate 213 years from the advent of the greatest breakthrough in watchmaking? It is by celebrating it or, else, reinventing it. If on June 26th 1801 Abraham Louis Breguet revolutionized the world ...
