Watch Reviews,
The timepieces that currently lead in "Haute Horlogerie" are a handful, and they all have a long history. It is hard that a dress watch, for instance, even if it comes from a respected brand, will quickly become highly sought-after if the collection it belongs to, has no recognized foothold, ...

MIDO,
Watch Reviews,
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.
