Artisans de Genève is a watchmaking company that offers watch customization services for private clients. However, Artisans de Genève is not your typical watch customizer. No blackened timepieces here… Its work goes far beyond aesthetics with impressive modifications on the structure of the watch itself and its movement performed by its craftsmen and watchmakers. For […]
Let’s face it, there aren’t that many women’s watches out there that can be worn day in, day out in just about any environment. Either they are beautiful dress watches with luxurious details that require extra-special care or they are downsized versions of men’s sports watches. Striking a balance between a sporty, resilient watch that […]
You might not be very familiar with the brand Formex, but it’s been around for two decades now. Most of its creations are big, bold and sturdy, and some of its recent watches, with updated designs and more understated choices, turned out to be quite good-looking. Like this Formex Essence Leggera, which offers a very […]
Founded in 1924, the brand has had a focus on dive watches since 1969 with the launch of its robust, water-resistant Periscope. The Shell Star debuted in 1975 as a more mature, professional dive watch, establishing Delma as a go-to brand for serious divers. The current Shell Star collection adds contemporary features to the classic […]
Panerai’s partnership with Luna Rossa, the Challenger of Record of the 36th America’s Cup, was celebrated earlier this year with the Luna Rossa Challenger Submersible PAM01039 model. A 47mm dive watch with 300m water-resistance and a carbon fibre case like the monohull of the AC75 Luna Rossa, this first commemorative model had a sailcloth dial […]
Last week, we published an article that we believed was a “necessary evil”. We listed the 5 most sought-after Rolex watches currently in production and looked at their “real” market value, the reasons behind the trend and the premium you actually have to pay if you want to get your hands on these watches today. […]
When Seiko presented the Prospex LX Line at Baselworld 2019, there were long and vehement discussions on the pertinence of such a collection, and how the brand was way out of line for trying to compete with the sacred cows of Swiss watchmaking (understand here Rolex and Omega) in their own arena: sport watches with […]
After three years of quartz watches for Max Verstappen, covered here, here and here, his TAG Heuer special edition has now come of age. And despite the autumn rain and a very disappointing race last weekend for the Dutchman, spirits were high during the presentation of a watch that will most likely be sold out […]
Nordic winters are harsh and E.C.Andersson’s Denise line of affordable dive/tool watches is designed for these northern conditions. The “all-season tool watch” has received a winter makeover based on the arctic design concept seen on the previous Calypso Arctic Sport. That piece was a rugged tool watch with a dressier vibe and a light grey/white […]
Unless I’m mistaken, we hadn’t seen any Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph models since its debut in 2014. Despite having a distinctive, original presence on the watchmaking scene (and it is, admittedly, one of my favourites watches), this steel sports watch had been relatively discreet. Luckily, the Saxon brand has decided to bring back its TV-shaped […]
