As you have probably seen (if you’re into watches, you must have seen it), this year was the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary movements ever, the El Primero – one of the first automatic chronographs launched. This has meant multiple re-editions and limited editions based on this movement, from faithful revival watches […]
The following buying guide is one that I’m not particularly fond of writing, not that the topic isn’t desirable (on the contrary) but behind these watches hides a market reality that needs to be told… Rolex has always been hot, but recently, some of its watches have become inaccessible. The scarce availability of certain Rolex […]
Great designs don’t age and this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “Nageurs de Combat” is living proof of this fact. You would think that a watch that has been revisited so many times since its first dive in 1953 would have lost its magic by now. Far from it. In the case of this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms […]

Corum has just unveiled two limited-edition Golden Bridge watches that combine the iconic baguette movement with 16 cables resembling a suspension bridge. The brand’s Golden Bridge collection was first introduced in 1980, but it wasn’t until 2016 that the vertical movement and architectural themes were used in a round case. Prototypes of the linear-built movement […]
Many brands are associated with pilot watches these days, which is among the most popular of styles. IWC, Breitling, Zenith, Laco, Hamilton and scores of others have long histories with these tools of aviation and bona fide war credentials to back up contemporary offerings. Glashütte-based Tutima is on this list and perhaps best known for […]
This is something we’ve already said in the past, but it appears that Glashütte Original is becoming more and more… original. By that, we mean that the brand tries new designs, creates things that we clearly didn’t expect from a German watchmaker and comes out with bold, colourful designs. What started in 2015 with the […]
Mexico City’s Salon Internacional Alta Relojería (SIAR) is Latin America’s most important annual watch fair.
