Back at the SIHH 2019 last year, Montblanc introduced a brand new collection of classic, slightly retro watches named “Heritage”. Elegant, well-designed, available with desirable salmon dials, it was available from a simple 3-hander, to a surprising (and well-priced) Monopusher Chrono… And two limited but really attractive versions, a perpetual calendar or a Minerva chronograph.

The elegant asymmetrical Arceau watch by Hermès reveals its openworked mechanical heart through a smoky sapphire crystal on the dial. Following in the footsteps of the former 41mm Arceau Squelette watches, this new model shrinks slightly in size to 40mm and features an intriguing smoked sapphire crystal that gets darker as it reaches the chapter […]

Zenith’s Elite Classic range, the dress watch representative of the brand, was taken to […]
Louis Erard’s Excellence collection is populated with regulators, a historic display that had fallen into disuse but that is becoming more and more prevalent in watchmaking today.
