Breguet Type XXI 3817 Ritorno in Volo

26 June 2020 | Breguet, Famous Watches, Watch Reviews,

We are happily back in business, which means we began photo-shooting watches once again. It is what we love doing the most, even more so when the brand under the loupe is second to none. A few days ago, Breguet organized their first after-COVID press meetings in Milan, dedicated to ...

NOMOS Glashütte Ahoi for Doctors without Borders

09 June 2020 | NOMOS Glashütte, Watch Reviews,

If we set the Tangente Sport, which is the top-performing NOMOS Glashütte diving watch so far, apart, the Ahoi collection embodies the brand's take on the Sports watches par excellence. Those prominent, and squared, crown protectors are the hallmark of a timepiece (also) designed to ensure water tightness at up ...

Rado Captain Cook Automatic Bronze

22 May 2020 | Rado, Watch Reviews,

The new Rado Captain Cook Automatic Bronze combines three materials: bronze, titanium, and ceramic. It is not breaking news in the industry except you won't expect such a strange offering from the brand that is synonymous with ceramic watches. That's an acceptable choice when looking at the beautiful Captain Cook, ...

Girard-Perregaux Bridges Cosmos

21 January 2020 | Girard-Perregaux, Watch Reviews, SIHH 2019,

When "Haute Horlogerie" combines tourbillon and astronomy, just a handful of luxury brands are allowed to join the party. Among the most astonishing creations, I would no doubt pick some masterpieces by Montblanc and Jaeger-LeCoultre, yet one single brand comes to my mind in terms of such products over the ...

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Chronograph Ivory Enamel Limited Edition

10 January 2020 | Jaquet Droz, 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 Commander Big Date Anthracite PVD

31 December 2019 | 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. Another Mido watch, the Commander, has this year celebrated sixty years of ...

Rolex Submariner No Date 114060

24 December 2019 | Rolex, Watch Reviews,

I've always been known for not buying a wristwatch exclusively for its resale value. Nowadays, it's so common to include a new watch into an investment portfolio, that love for watchmaking is gradually losing credibility; there's a growing bunch of people who are not driven by passion when looking for ...

Hamilton Chrono-Matic 50

17 December 2019 | Hamilton, Watch Reviews,

When I first saw the Hamilton Chrono-Matic 50, it suddenly reminded me of Ron Howard's movie Rush and the old-school Grand Prix racing, the legendary 24 Hours at Daytona, and the AMA's motorcycle racing. If Hamilton Watch were willing to reinforce the brand's American foothold, I believe they hit the ...

16 December 2019 | Frederique Constant, Watch Reviews, Baselworld 2019,

A product variation or a new product code is, by definition, a new edition of an already existing one, and such is the 2019 green Frederique Constant Worldtimer Classic Manufacture. That timepiece means a lot to us; it is our chance to introduce to our audience one of the most ...
