What we’re looking at today might simply be a new dial colour, but it made quite a lot of noise when we introduced it a couple of weeks ago. Multiple reactions here and on our Instagram account made us realize that a dial colour can make a hell of a difference on a watch. So […]
Bell & Ross’ love for aviation and pilot’s watches needs no introduction anymore. Since its foundation, the brand has had a clear focus on military watches made for action and has built its name in the instrument watch field. Yet, brands have to evolve and explore territories outside their comfort zone. Constantly seeking new universes […]
For many, titanium is the ideal material for a watch. Named after the Titans of Greek mythology, titanium and titanium alloys offer unique properties. Titanium is lightweight, has high tensile strength, but its surface gets scratched easily. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, it is non-magnetic, non-toxic, biocompatible and hypoallergenic… And its first commercial use in […]
In addition to the three vintage-inspired recreations we presented yesterday, Seiko presents a fourth dive watch to celebrate the 55th anniversary of its first diver. While the “trilogy” of reissues is rare, exclusive and high-end, this one plays in the more accessible field, which Seiko has championed for some years now. Well proportioned, well designed […]
Dive watches and Seiko are a long and rich story – as we’ve seen earlier today with the 55th Anniversary Trilogy of dive watches. This expertise isn’t reserved to the praised Prospex collection and Grand Seiko, the high-end division of the Japanese brand, also benefits from this. Today, part of its 2020 collection, Grand Seiko […]
Fifty-five years ago, in 1965, Seiko introduced its first-ever diver’s watch – which also happened to be the first Japanese diver’s watch. With its automatic movement, its 150m water-resistance, its robust case and its highly recognizable design, the 1965 Seiko 62MAS paved the way for multiple generations of professional dive watches to come – and […]
We’ve covered American watchmaker RGM on several occasions as it is, for the most part, the only true vertically integrated manufacturer in the US. Weiss Watch Company in Los Angeles has the in-house calibre 1003, but it’s generally an ETA/Unitas 6497 copy. That’s certainly not a bad thing but doesn’t match the unique designs and […]
We see more and more “watch clubs” popping up around the globe. Don’t get us wrong, we actually encourage these initiatives as they are the best way to generate passion and increase horological knowledge among their members. One of these social hubs is named “Qatar Watch Club” and despite being quite young, it has already […]
Back in late 2018, William Massena simultaneously launched his own project named “Massena LAB” as well as the first watch resulting from this venture, the superb bronze Habring2 Erwin LAB01. Known as an avid watch collector (among many other things), Massena has a few connections in the watch industry (to say the least) and knows […]
We’ve said it in the past already, but if you’re looking for a great daily luxury watch, which combines enough resistance for the weekend and casual elegance for business days, Omega certainly has one of the best options on the market: the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer. Sleek and discreet, robust too, it combines […]
