Introducing – The Slightly Redesigned Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer (live Pics)

The Senator Chronometer has been around since 2009 and is still one of the most acclaimed watches in the entire Glashütte Original collection. Inspired by marine chronometers, it was also the first Glashütte Original watch to flaunt official chronometer status. And then comes the elegant design, the typical Saxon details and the movement itself (sorry, we love this watch here). In order to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Glashütte Original has decided to give its Senator Chronometer an elegant, contemporary facelift. And here it is.

Introducing – The New Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Dual Time (Hands-On)

Jaquet Droz revisits its Grande Second Dual Time watch with an azimuthal map of the Earth’s continents viewed from the North Pole. Although the movement and the layout are identical to the previous Grande Seconde Dual Time models, the integration of a map enlivens the scenery and underlines the vocation of this watch as a stylish travelling companion. As always with Jaquet Droz, the aesthetics are elegant and balanced, dominated by the prevailing figure-eight motif of the Grande Seconde collection.

Introducing – Omega Seamaster Diver 300M now with White Ceramic Dial (Hands-On Pics)

Last year marked the introduction of the revised Seamaster Diver 300M, a.k.a. the “Bond watch”, a.k.a. Omega’s entry-level diver. Renewed with a slightly larger case, a redesigned dial in ceramic, laser-engraved with the iconic wave pattern, available in multiple colours and materials, the main evolution concerned the arrival of an in-house, Master Chronometer movement. This year, Omega expands the collection with a new White Ceramic dial for the Seamaster Diver 300M.

Introducing – The Steel OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition (Hands-On)

Earlier this year, Omega introduced a new limited edition of the Speedmaster… but not any kind of edition, since this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing and thus, the 50th anniversary of a Speedmaster worn on the wrist of astronauts while walking on the Moon! And while we thought this Moonshine Gold […]

Introducing – Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barakuda Re-Edition (Live Pics)

The Fifty Fathoms was and still is one of the most legendary dive watches ever. Launched in 1953, it was one of the first (if not the first) professional dive watches created. When Blancpain recreated the model in 2003, it came with already some vintage elements, and recently the brand played hard on re-editions of past watches. Today, Blancpain revisits one of these rare versions, a 1960s model delivered to the German Bundesmarine. Meet the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barakuda Re-Edition.

Introducing – Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 (Live Pics)

Back in 2014, Breguet introduced what certainly is one of its best watches, a watch that both sums up the classic design of the brand and its innovative spirit: the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5377. Thin, elegant, fitted with a tourbillon (of course, it’s Breguet), complex and equipped with a peripheral rotor… It was followed […]

Introducing – Glashütte Original Returns to the Dive Watch Market with the SeaQ Collection (Live Pics)

For most of the watch enthusiasts, Glashütte Original means this – elegant and high-end watches inspired by the German School of Watchmaking. This would, however, be reductive, as the brand (and the entities that existed before) is also known for precise timekeepers and instruments, such as navigation chronometers. What fewer might know is the impressive collection of historical observation, pilot and diver’s watches made in Glashütte. Today, Glashütte Original capitalizes on this rich past to create a new range named “Spezialist” – and today we have the premiere model in this new collection, the Glashütte Original SeaQ, a vintage-inspired dive watch.

Introducing – Blancpain Air Command Chronograph Re-Edition (Live Pics)

The story behind certain watches remains something of a mystery. For those, their very rareness exacerbates their appeal to collectors. We call them unicorns… We know they exist, we’ve seen some but scholarship is almost inexistent and no archives can help! The vintage Blancpain Air Command Chronograph is part of these watches, and this is one of the reasons to be excited today, as Blancpain is about to reissue this watch. Meet the Blancpain Air Command Chronograph Re-Edition.
