Worn & Wound needs no introduction in America (and around the world) as one of the best-known watch publications with headquarters in New York. It was founded in 2011 by Blake Malin (CEO), Zach Weiss (Executive Editor) and later James Helms (Chief Commercial Officer), and in addition to the publication, there’s Windup Watch Fair in […]
When Serge Michel and Claude Greisler acquired Armin Strom, they took the bull by the horns. Without abandoning Mr Strom’s famous hand-skeletonised movements, the pair developed a full-scale vertical manufacture and successfully addressed the phenomenon of Mirrored Force Resonance in a wristwatch format. Another horological success story was the brand’s Gravity Equal Force watch of […]
How many integrated sports watches are there on the market? A lot, really a lot. But besides mainstream brands, each offering their own take on the concept – Rolex with the Land-Dweller, IWC with the Ingenieur, Tissot with the PRX, just to name a few – isn’t there a place for more niche, singular models?

Horloger MING is not your average brand, just as its latest creation is not your average chronograph. Started by designer and photographer Ming Thein in 2017, the watch collecting community quickly embraced this start-up brand and shot it into the stratosphere. What Ming Thein did, through his experience in the field and keen eye for […]
The Laureato, released in 1975 by Girard-Perregaux, was one of the precursors of the luxury sports watch. Redesigned for the fifth time in 2016 and 2017, the Laureato is now the brand’s best-selling collection. The classic 42mm steel time-and-date model returns this summer with a mesmerising grey Grand Feu enamel dial for a classy monochromatic […]
Whenever we speak of luxury mechanical watches, the subject of money is understandably never far away. Even amongst the team, we often debate about prices, and are well aware that the vast majority of the watches we cover are out of reach for most people, ourselves included.
