If the model does not have the importance of other icons such as the Carrera, Autavia or Monaco in the TAG Heuer racing chronograph lineage, the Monza has numerous fans amongst the brand’s aficionados. On the occasion of the LVMH Watch Week 2023, the model is back, far more modern and bolder than ever, clad […]
Perhaps not the first brand you would imagine producing an ‘animal-themed’ watch in time for the Chinese Lunar New Year, TAG Heuer is determined to consolidate its presence in this lucrative niche. Representing the fourth animal sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle, the rabbit will rule the roost of 12 zodiac animals starting on the […]
The story of Pasha de Cartier dates back to the 1930s and involves claims that the Pasha of Marrakesh ordered an elegant watch to match his royal status that could also be worn in his swimming pool. Such a Cartier timepiece, according to legend, was created and many decades later served as an inspiration for […]
Valentine’s Day is a marketing opportunity for many watch brands and the perfect occasion to launch special editions. Blancpain has been producing Valentine’s Day models for more than two decades, with watches decked out in diamonds and red accents, like these Villeret or Ladybird models. This year, Blancpain turns to another collection to celebrate the […]
Most of you are well aware that the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet’s emblematic and (probably) most crucial watch ever, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022. An array of new models were launched for the occasion, with the star of the show being the new Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202ST. Another watch, launched a couple of months later, […]

This modern evolution of the model has turned the Laureato into the brand’s best-selling collection. We are taking a closer look […]
As the year comes to a close, you’re used to us reflecting on what we’ve seen and handled over these past 12 months. And it has been a lot, obviously. But scoping out the best watches in specific categories is not always easy. There might not have been that many novelties or simply an abundance […]
We looked at Peren’s Nera Rogue diver last year and were impressed with its unique design and minimalist approach. It was inspired by a very rare 1960s Blancpain diver produced under an alias, Tornek Rayville. The “Tornek Rayville TR-900” was made for the US Navy Seals, and Blancpain used the alias to bend the rules […]
After a prolific year (to say the least), what we’ll be looking at today might be one of the last watches unveiled by Seiko this year, and it isn’t based on one of the popular Prospex models, but on another growing collection, the Presage Sharp Edged Series. Since its launch in 2020, this range of […]
