If luxury stainless steel sports watches are a hot commodity on the market today, Vacheron Constantin‘s Overseas Chronograph Panda has just raised the bar from hot to hotter. Just ahead of Watches & Wonders 2023, Vacheron Constantin pulls a splendid white rabbit out of its top hat with the release of the latest stainless steel […]
What do you do when you want to launch a new collection alongside a truly legendary range that once redefined what luxury watchmaking was? Do you tweak a design and pray it doesn’t get any banter because it looks too much like your precious icon? Or take off in a completely different direction altogether, to […]
Some watches are so emblematic that they alone define a brand: the Omega Speedmaster, the AP Royal Oak, or the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. When I think about Nomos, my mind can’t skip it; it always returns to the Tangente. A classic among the classics, it was actually one of four watches launched at the time […]
When you imagine a dive watch, your mind likely conjures up a very specific and stereotypical image. It’s probably a bit on the larger side, it will have well-lumed indices and maybe a different colour on the minute hand for ease of legibility, and it will definitely have a count-up, 60-minute bezel with a lumed […]
Independent watchmaker Arnold & Son presented the striking Globetrotter in 2018, and a slightly updated version saw the light of day in 2021. Both editions were executed in stainless steel and came out as an exciting and visually pleasing take on the world time complication.

Exposing every last mechanical detail of the skeletonised flying tourbillon movement, the distinctive feature of this family is the powerful double X traversing both sides of the dial. The Ulysse Nardin Blast […]
When launched in 2019, the Bell & Ross BR 05 collection was, without a doubt, the most important release of the brand since the presentation of the emblematic BR 01 – the watch that defined the brand’s style, the circle within a square. While most of the previous collections were focused on military and aviation […]
The Beast… Probably the second most emblematic watch of Audemars Piguet. A watch that, like its Genta-designed 1972 ancestor, broke the rules and created an entirely new segment of watches. Extravagant, oversized and polarising at the time of its introduction 30 years ago, it defined the ultra-robust luxury sports watch genre. The first Royal Oak […]
As the only Swiss watch brand with Cuban roots, Cuervo y Sobrinos likes to flaunt its unusual and exotic origins. The latest Historiador Asturias time-and-date watch is named after the birthplace of founder Ramón Fernández Cuervo, who sailed from Asturias, in northwest Spain, to the Americas in search of fortune in the late 19th century.
