The brand is once again working with Kessel Racing, this time with Ronnie Kessel (son of Loris) to launch the limited edition Heritage 1973. The […]
One of the cool brands to have emerged recently from the “independent scene”, Reservoir stands out with its original way to display time. Created by François Moreau, the brand made its debut at Baselworld 2017. His inspiration was fueled by his passion for all things mechanical, and in particular, yesteryear measuring instruments mounted on dashboards or in cockpits: pressure gauges, speedometers, manometers, rev counters… which inspired an original time display. Let’s have a look at the Reservoir Supercharged Sport Red Zone II.
The link between Bell & Ross and the military world is essential to the brand. This is where everything started back in the days, with timepieces manufactured by Sinn and delivered to several special forces. Of course, as the brand grew, other themes were used (racing, civilian aviation and more) but the military inspiration is still part of Bell & Ross DNA… and one of its latest creations, the Vintage V2 Military Beige collection, is here to prove it.
Favre-Leuba might be Switzerland’s second-oldest watch brand, it has been revived only recently. Still, this old-young brand has already created a rather large collection, with several interesting complications, all based on one motto: “conquering frontiers”. Favre-Leuba, during the 1960s and 1970s, had a strong focus on tool watches and that’s the idea behind the current line up, including the all-rounder Raider Sea Sky, a chronograph that is now available in bright, zesty colours.
Grand Seiko has been on the rise recently and upped its game by presenting multiple style of watches, from dressy pieces like the Elegance collection or more impactful watches such as the brand new Spring Drive Sport.

Most people over the weekend were watching Wimbledon for the Men’s and Women’s championship matches in addition to the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The 2019 Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone was slightly overshadowed by these two events. But for those who watched it, Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond and is currently filming parts of the upcoming “Bond 25” film, was in attendance for the race won by English driver Lewis Hamilton. And he had something special on the wrist.
Earlier this year, we showed you the new MP45 Monopusher Chronograph from Vertex. If you missed the article, you can read it here. We were quite taken with the distinctive look and performance of this watch. Based on its popularity, it seems we were not the only ones. Now, just as with the M100B, Vertex is introducing a limited edition black DLC-coated version of the Monopusher Chronograph, the MP45B, for those who prefer something a little more stealthy on the wrist. Although, if you’re expecting this watch to fly under the radar, you may be disappointed!
Panerai watches and their military roots need no introduction anymore. The brand, founded in Florence, Italy, supplied military forces only for more than half a century. This background is part of the brand’s DNA and most of the design elements have been created with military requirements in mind. Today, the brand pays tribute to its […]
Hamilton is no stranger to the silver screen as movie stars have been wearing their timepieces on camera since 1932’s Shanghai Express. The Hamilton Jazzmaster Regulator Cinema was even created to celebrate 86 years in films and the brand recently released the Murph “Khaki Field” after being part of Interstellar movie. The Ventura collection, first released in 1957 […]
The link between Porsche Design and Porsche Cars isn’t just a name on a product. The collaboration between these two entities goes way beyond that.
