Ulysse Nardin is clearly in the middle of an important restructuring process and updating most of its emblematic watches. After new watches in the Marine collection, it was time for the Diver to get a fresher look. Following last year’s evolutions on the 3-hand models, the brand now comes up with three new yet instantly […]
The Royal Oak… A watch that needs no introduction anymore, a watch that’s so iconic that its popularity goes way beyond the confines of watch aficionados. However, if you look at Audemars Piguet’s catalogue, you’ll see that the collection is large (to say the least) and that it comprises dozens of versions. But today, we’ll […]
The Maurice Lacroix Aikon is one of the most successful collections of the Saigne-Légier-based manufacturer. This accessible take on the popular steel luxury sports watch reflects the brand’s strategy to offer an excellent watch price-to-value ratio. New in the collection and together with the Fine Watch Club (FWC), Maurice Lacroix has just released a limited-edition Aikon […]
Lebois & Co. could have been just another Kickstarter brand launching a new campaign. But instead, it chose to do something else… It chose to go one step further, and this isn’t something we’re going to complain about – at all! It shows how impressive things can be done with a top-grade Sellita and sheer […]
If you’re into watches, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date should be no stranger to you. In a few years, this watch has become the signature element of the pilot-oriented Big Crown collection, with its nice vintage design and practical function. Still, this apparently simple watch has a lot to tell, as it is far […]
Earlier this year, at the Swatch Group’s independent Time to Move event, Omega introduced a chronograph version of its successful Seamaster Diver 300M. Equipped with all the design upgrades conferred on the standard three-hand model in 2018, the performance of James Bond’s watch was notched up with a chronograph complication. Although the movement – Calibre […]
If you didn’t know yet (well, now you’ll know), I have a soft spot for vintage-looking dive watches… I know, I’m weak – and I never dive – but when they are done right, I can’t help myself. I already had a thing for the Polaris Date, when JLC presented it at the SIHH 2018. […]
Marnaut launched its first dive watch back in 2018 with a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Dark Surge 300m. We reviewed this piece earlier in the year and walked away impressed with its unique, sea urchin-inspired dial and 300-metre depth rating. Based in Croatia, founder Mario Jutronic explored the Adriatic Sea growing up and his watches […]
This is it… The big news for Omega, the new James Bond watch! After a limited 007 edition based on the Seamaster Diver 300M celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, it is time for the real deal, the watch to be worn in the 25th opus of the […]
If you are looking for a vintage-inspired dive watch, the world is your playground. Especially since ambitious young watchmakers and marketeers heard about Kickstarter, new watch companies with old watches keep on popping up. One of the first out there was Aramar Watch Company, founded in 2010 with Kickstarter-funding and a nice vintage-inspired watch. Now, […]
