The German single-handed watch manufacturer MeisterSinger was founded in 2001 and revolves around a more relaxed take on the passing of time. Instead of relying on hours, minutes and seconds hands to indicate time, MeisterSinger strips this back to the essentials only, with just one single hand. This simplified display dates back to the earliest […]
Black Bay, Black Bay 58 and now, Black Bay 54. Tudor continues to expand its signature dive watch collection… by reducing it again. The BB is typically a watch that lives with its times, a watch that follows the trends. When it was first presented, back in 2012, the original Black Bay Burgundy watch was […]

Although we often gravitate towards the better-known names like Dufour, Voutilainen, Moser and MB&F, there’s a host of indies waiting to be discovered. In a quest to bring you new and […]
