For the past few years, Zenith has been exploring textures and colours, mostly on its contemporary and bold chronograph in the Defy collection. You can hardly accuse the brand of being conservative when you recall the military green, black-and-white or even the ultra-special Pantone edition. Following the Ultraviolet edition of last year, Zenith is back with […]
As of now, the cool Hamilton Intra-Matic chronograph should be no stranger to you. Since its introduction in a limited edition in 2017, followed by downsized (and even more attractive) versions now in the permanent collection, this watch available also in 3-hand editions has become one of the brand’s pillars. It has even been recently […]
The colour green might be the latest trend in watchmaking and even refer back to Audemars Piguet’s groovy colourful stone dials of the 1970s, but it has another far more interesting connotation that ties in very nicely with the iconic Royal Oak watch. Green is also evocative of the evergreen or perennial trees that grow […]
Audemars Piguet’s latest Royal Oak Offshore is the standard-bearer of a new generation of ROO models. Although the medley of a tourbillon and chronograph complication is not new to the ROO family, the case has been redesigned in a new 43mm size, and the movement is a contemporary, edgier adaptation of a calibre introduced on […]
The Royal Oak range by Audemars Piguet needs little introduction. Launched in 1972 and designed by the legendary Gérald Genta, it defined a whole new segment of watches. New for 2021 is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm, which receives the in-house, integrated flyback chronograph movement originally developed for Code 11.59. This new […]
Presented in 1993, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, known as “The Beast,” brought a robust, utilitarian look to the Royal Oak. Since its inception, this watch has been regularly updated, adding for instance a 44mm version in the early 2000s. This year, Audemars Piguet is presenting a complete makeover of its robust chronograph, […]
Even though it has only been unveiled 2 years ago, Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet has already been presented in multiple iterations, whether with complex movements, high-end dials, two-tone cases or bold colours. Today, as part of the 2021 collection, Audemars Piguet is releasing a new version that is showing the true potential of this watch, […]
When presented in 2019, the Heritage Bicompax Annual came as one of the best surprises Carl F. Bucherer ever did to the vintage enthusiast community. Nicely shaped and pleasantly complicated, it was styled to showcase the brand’s technology housed in designs inspired by watches from the mid-20th century. First released in two limited editions, one […]
RGM Watch Co. is the brand that brought legitimate watchmaking back to America, creating ground-up, in-house movements such as the tonneau-shaped Caliber 20, 801 Calibre and Pennsylvania Tourbillon. Other brands such as J.N. Shapiro and Weiss Watch Company have since produced American calibres, but CEO Roland Murphy started the revival in 1992, creating the company […]
When introduced at the SIHH 2019, the 38mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph came as a very pleasant surprise, bringing back this watch to more compact territories and proportions – the RO Chronograph was originally launched in 39mm, replaced in 2012 by a 41mm edition. A great alternative for men and women, the mid-size […]
