Watch people are second only to cyclists, and maybe mountain climbers when it comes to nitpicking about tiny units of measurement. Where cyclists might throw a fit if the new version of their favourite derailleur adds two grams to their total weight, watch nerds will lose their minds and declare a new piece unwearable, even […]
A few years ago, Bell & Ross introduced a new take on their quite iconic style of square instrument-like watches with the launch of the BR 05 collection. Softer in look and feel, but still retaining the circle-within-a-square design ethos, this range of sports watches was positioned as the everyday watch for an active, urban […]
While most are familiar with the rugged and purpose-built watches of the Prospex collection, Seiko also knows how to make more elegant and classically-designed watches. This is the mission of the Presage collection, a range that became global in 2016 and that has expanded drastically over the years. As a departure from the traditional “Japanese […]
Being a brand specialized in aeronautical instruments and pilot’s watches, Bell & Ross somehow needs to have GMT models in its collection, being probably the most useful complication for aircraft pilots… and frequent travellers. And, without surprise, this complication was already found onboard the BR instrument collection as well as in the Vintage line. Today, […]
Bamford London has built a reputation by customizing watches from top brands like Rolex, Zenith and Patek Philippe, and all of the work is officially authorized. The company even collaborates with outside designers like Black Badger for wild creations like the Zenith El Primero Superconductor. Bamford also has its own line of GMT watches and […]
Green is, without doubt, the trendiest colour in watchmaking these days. Green can be truly appealing, and Glashütte Original knows it. In fact, the brand surfed the wave quite early, before many others followed, with watches such as the Sixties Annual Edition 2018, the PanoMaticLunar Forest Green or the Seventies Chronograph Limited Editions. Now it […]
The latest model to join Louis Vuitton’s Tambour collection is the Street Diver, a sporty watch with a bold splash of colour. The iconic drum-shaped case of the Tambour incorporates a second crown to manipulate the internal bezel with a diving scale and gives the case its compressor-style looks – even though it’s not a […]
For the past few years, Zenith has been exploring textures and colours, mostly on its contemporary and bold chronograph in the Defy collection. You can hardly accuse the brand of being conservative when you recall the military green, black-and-white or even the ultra-special Pantone edition. Following the Ultraviolet edition of last year, Zenith is back with […]
Founded in 2018, the family-run brand Norqain might be a fledgeling brand on the Swiss watchmaking scene, but in just three years, it has consolidated a respectable collection of watches designed for rugged outdoor activities. What is even more surprising for such a young brand is that since 2020 Norqain avails itself of COSC-certified movements […]
Launched in 2014, the Omega Seamaster 300 – not to be confused with the James Bond, more modern Seamaster Diver 300M – has since been the brand’s vintage evocation of the original 1957 Seamaster 300. Still, its previous iteration, how performing and well manufactured it was, as maybe a bit too technical and sporty. Well, […]
