Today we are bringing your attention to a new brand for MONOCHROME Watches, a brand that has been around for over a decade but hasn’t solely focused on watches since it was founded. Late last year, we were contacted by Nezumi Studios, a Swedish watchmaking company that was celebrating its tenth anniversary. Named the Voiture, […]
When the name Vulcain comes into the conversation, your brain should (rightfully) have something very special in mind… A watch that has forged the brand’s success since 1947, a watch with a complication that is still a rare gem of the industry. I am, of course, talking about the Cricket alarm watch, the same complication […]
Until recently, the only revival we were familiar with was called CCR, as in Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR was an American rock band named among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time by Rolling Stone; it is worth finding the time and getting acquainted with the band’s work. One of their tracks, “Fortunate Son”, was […]
If you are looking for a watch with a novel time display, Urwerk is your port of call. The UR-112, which abandons the brand’s signature wandering hours display, was dreamed up in Urwerk’s Special Projects laboratory. Introduced in 2021, the UR-112 Aggregat is a compendium of complexity, technicality and radical design with a marked nostalgia […]
An icon for over a century, the Cartier Tank requires little introduction. Among the countless versions of the model, the Tank Française was originally presented by the French Maison in 1996 and has been one of the brand’s greatest commercial successes of the past decades.

Unveiled in 2021, the Hermès H08 is the French brand’s versatile sporty-chic watch with a smooth cushion-shaped case and contemporary design elements. By juxtaposing different shapes (typical Hermès) and playing with different finishings and textures, the Hermès H08 reveals its fluid, sensual architecture. Previously offered in titanium and black graphene cases, the latest H08 ups […]
The Ralph Lauren RL867 timepieces collection draws inspiration from the brand’s flagship men’s store at 867 Madison Avenue, New York. The store occupies a historic mansion built by Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo in 1898 as a residence, but she never got to live there. Her story and the story of the building on the corner of […]
About a year ago, we first shared the news that the small Dutch independent watchmaker Laurens de Rijke, working under the De Rijke & Co name, had launched a Miffy-branded watch. The watch in question was the Miffy Moonphase, a very whimsical take on a classical moon phase. Using the rotatable case construction of the […]
The name Speedtimer has a strong presence in the history of Seiko. It refers to multiple timepieces of the past and present, and in general, to the brand’s background in sports timing.
