I know many people complain about dive watches. Not because of what they are intrinsically, but because many of them look the same (the Submariner-like market is huge…) Yet, there’s a very good reason for this: a norm, the ISO 6425 standard, regulates the concept of a dive watch. However, some watchmakers have decided to […]
Hamilton has recently been looking at its past, with multiple models in the “Heritage” line, including the 1970s Intra-Matic Chronograph and, of course, the military-inspired, accessible, cool-looking Khaki Field Mechanical. Really, there’s a lot to love in these collections. Today, the Swatch Group-owned brand takes another of its glorious military models, the W10, and reissues it in a (very) faithful way. Let’s take a look at the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical.
Independent watchmaker De Bethune is in a category of its own. Simply beyond classifications… Ever since its creation in 2002, the brand has shown a unique approach to watchmaking combining artistic and technical innovation. The brand’s evolution of its sports-oriented watch is no exception… Bold, sporty, made to dive but still 100% recognizable, meet the De Bethune DB28GS Grand Bleu.
T-Rex is back in town. You might recognise him after his first apparition as MB&F’s contribution to the upcoming Only Watch 2019 charity auction with a small boy sitting astride the clock. An unconventional table clock by any standards (except for MB&F’s), the T-Rex is a clock with dinosaur legs. Not a walking clock, but […]
Slate grey and rose gold is a combination that works particularly well. Parmigiani Fleurier has applied it to several of its model recently, such as the Toric Chronomètre. It is now the time for the sleek and dressy Tonda 1950 Lune to get the same elegant colour scheme.
For some years now, H. Moser & Cie’s perpetual calendar, wheather in the Endeavour or the Pioneer cases, has been characterized by its exclusive, highly pure display – mostly known for its small, central arrow to indicate the month. Certainly, this was both a signature style for the brand and resulted in a clean look… Apparently too clean and not legible enough according to the brand, which is introducing a revised version of its sporty QP, the Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD – and MD means Month-Date.
It seems that Omega never ceased to innovate and impress. After presenting the Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional, the watch that made the world’s deepest dive to the very bottom of the Mariana Trench (with a water resistance of 15,000m), the brand now presents another piece of high-tech engineering with a focus, this time, on lightness, comfort and resistance. Meet the 55g-only Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light, a new concept-looking (but commercialized soon) timepiece designed especially for sport.
Two years ago, Singer Reimagined (the sister company of Singer Vehicle Design, creator of some extraordinary Restomod 911s) launched an impressive, cool-looking and mechanically innovative chronograph named “Track1”. After the Launch Edition, the brand decided to introduce city-based models, with the gold-cased Geneva Edition and the black ceramic-aluminum Hong-Kong Edition. Following this theme, here’s the […]
Panerai watches are always big. Panerai watches are supposed to be big. Panerai watches are waterproof to at least 100m or more.. Panerai watches are proper dive tools. That used to be watch world 101. And then the Luminor Due appeared… Thinner, smaller and not so much your reliable diver’s tool. Today, the Italian brand introduces no fewer than 6 new iterations of the Luminor Due, including a very good-looking edition in blue. Meet references PAM00926, PAM00927, PAM00964, PAM01043, PAM01045 and PAM01046.
The Portugieser Chronograph by IWC Schaffhausen needs little to no introduction. It is one of those classic watches that every collector will encounter, one day or another. For over 20 years, it remained practically unchanged, with the exception of variations on the dial. The model we present today is yet another of these variations… and […]
