It will come as no surprise that Habring² is one of our favourite independent watchmakers, as this was the brand of choice for our first-ever MONOCHROME Montre de Souscription presented last year. And given the fact, there have been quite a few collaborations with Habring and others we’ve seen in the past few years, we’re […]
Zenith’s Defy Extreme is precisely that: an extreme version of the standard Defy model with a larger angular case and bolder design cues. By extension, you could say that contemporary artist Felipe Pantone also has a very fitting name since we all associate Pantone with the universal language of colour and his artworks and installations […]
Originally founded in 2002, Speake-Marin is celebrating 20 years of watchmaking this year and does so by presenting a special edition of its Ripples watch, aptly named the Ripples Anniversary Edition. This surprising luxury sports watch with an integrated design, the ever-popular category of watches, was launched earlier this year. Pairing Speake-Marin’s signature style with […]
Horage is an independent Swiss brand founded in 2007 and has already developed three in-house movements. There’s the K1 automatic in models like the Autark and Omnium, K2 micro-rotor in the new Supersede integrated sports watch and K-TOU tourbillon in its second watch, the Lensman 1. This latest piece follows the Tourbillon 1, which was […]
In 2009, A. Lange & Söhne presented a watch that was a true game changer for the brand. Visually audacious, mechanically fascinating, a complete break from the usual codes of the manufacture, the Zeitwerk became one of the most emblematic models of ALS and a sort of UFO on the high-end watch scene. Combining traditional […]
Whenever Grand Seiko presents a new watch, you’re almost certain to be treated by a finely crafted dial inspired by nature. We’ve seen it time and time again, with watches like the White Birch, the Lake Suwa, or the Shunbun. The carefully crafted dials often have textures and colors to represent the gentle ripples in […]
Earlier this week a rumour started spreading that Patek Philippe was about to launch the long-awaited successor to the iconic Nautilus 5711. And sure enough, this past Tuesday the Nautilus 5811G, in white gold, was presented. Slightly bigger in size, with minor aesthetic updates, this is set to continue the Nautilus legacy. But that was […]
For many years, Bell & Ross has been all about pilot- and military-inspired watches. This was the brand’s motto, the style that made it famous. And while the Parisian brand still leans heavily on those codes in its current instrument collection, materialised by the emblematic BR03 range, it had to evolve. How? By becoming more […]
Presented a few weeks ago in Zermatt, the Wild One is Norqain’s newest sports watch concept. The model’s elaborate 25-part construction is based on a Norteq protective cage, a proprietary carbon fibre composite material. The brand now launches a 262-piece limited edition to celebrate its partnership with the New York City Marathon, where NORQAIN will […]
Sébastian Muller, the fourth generation of a Swiss watchmaking family from the Jura, founded Brellum in 2016, a small independent brand with a production of around 299 pieces a year and a focus on affordable chronometer-certified chronographs. The Pandial, Brellum’s two-tone vintage-inspired chronograph fitted with a Valjoux 7750, returns in a classic black-and-white panda suit […]
