If the name dates back to the 18th century, Ferdinand Berthoud was resurrected only recently by Chopard’s Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and his team. While manifesting respect to the Berthoud legacy, the brand’s first creations offer a superb, modern take on this heritage. These watches have received a remarkable accolade from the watch community and industry: at […]
Just a month after we celebrated the Art Blakey Jazz edition by Oris, the brand from Hölstein introduces another, just as nice, jazz-inspired dressy piece in the same collection. This James Morrison edition really makes it quite hard for us to keep up with all these novelties, so let’s see if the Oris James Morrison […]
There are few brands as specialized in pilot’s watches as IWC… The brand has a long and rich pedigree in this field and, since the comeback of the collection in the mid-1990s with the Ref. 3711 and Ref. 3706, IWC has collaborated with some of the greatest squadrons and special forces – including Top Gun.

Armin Strom is a brand apart. Over the past few years, Serge Michel and Claude Greisler have set the foundations of this fully integrated manufacture. The young independent watchmaker has demonstrated its capacity to innovate, in particular with its Mirrored Force Resonance concept. Marking the launch of its new System 78 collection, the Armin Strom […]
When it was introduced back in 2014, the MB&F LM101 was a more wearable vision of the Legacy Machine concept – size-wise only, as the design was still fully steampunk-inspired. It has since been presented in a vast choice of precious metals: first in white and pink gold, then in yellow and pink gold with […]
Denis Flageollet, the mastermind behind De Bethune is, without doubt, one of the most talented watchmakers of the industry. His creations have placed the brand outside mainstream watchmaking, in a class of its own. De Bethune watches stand out with their technological singularity as well as their space-age design. And the new De Bethune Maestri’Art […]
Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas family is the brand’s luxury sports watch proposal, a well-furnished collection with everything from simple three-handers to sophisticated perpetual calendars, tourbillons and chronographs. The third-generation Overseas family was introduced in 2016 and given its vocation as a travel watch, the appearance of the Dual Time model in 2018 was a welcome addition. The […]
We recently went hands-on with the new Chronoswiss Regulator Classic collection, first introduced at Baselworld 2019 as a slight evolution of the original Regulator Classic. A new model has now joined the line with motorsport inspiration and a speedometer vibe, injecting a bit more adrenaline into the already edgier new pieces. With new dial elements […]
With the exception of a few clocks and other time-indicating objects, wristwatches are the only expression of watchmaking these days. But this has not always been the case. Naturally, there were pocket watches but also watches disguised in all types of objects: canes, miniature music instruments, pendants, keys, or even perfume-dispensing guns. Reviving this tradition, […]
Somewhere in between the bold Bauhaus interpretation of the Regulator with Alain Silberstein and the more classic regulator configuration in the brand’s Excellence collection lies this collaboration with Eric Giroud.
