Sinn has a long reputation for no-nonsense, well-priced, military-spec watches with functional design, instrumental technical solutions and, overall, a sense of durability. This resulted in great, technical-looking watches but also in a certain lack of coolness. The brand has, however, recently shown some evolutions by introducing more “fun” into the design, yet without forgetting its […]
If there’s one watch in the Oris collection that needs no introduction, it certainly is the Aquis Date. A robust dive watch, with modern and utilitarian looks, it has been praised as a very competitive option for someone in the need of a no-nonsense diving instrument, which can also be used on land as a […]

The brand was also celebrating the 55th anniversary of Japan’s first-ever chronograph watch, the 1964 Seiko “Crown […]
Continuing its expansion strategy, Maurice Lacroix presents the Aikon Chronograph Skeleton, the first skeletonised chronograph movement in its Aikon Automatic line-up. The openworked chronograph movement is not new; it was first featured in the Masterpiece collection and reappears today in the virile case of the brand’s vision of an accessible luxury sports watch.
