Zenith’s Defy Extreme erupted on the scene in 2021 as a high-testosterone brother to the already virile, heavy-duty, high-performance Defy collection. Making its debut with a 1/100th of a second chronograph with two escapements, the Defy Extreme is back with an even more complex high-frequency chronograph movement equipped with two independent tourbillon mechanisms. Available in […]
As the end of the year is fast approaching, it is time for us to sit back and look at all the new models the watch industry has offered. And when it comes to the highly coveted category of dive watches, it has been a rich year. We’ve seen two giants releasing ultra-deep divers, other […]
It’s fair to say that the Seiko 5 Sports collection is one of the most versatile mechanical watch lineups in its price range. If on top of versatility, we tally the factor of manufacture-made movements, as well as the overall quality the Japanese brand is known for, the Seiko 5 Sports collection is practically unbeatable. […]
A watch resurrected from the past – well, fairly modernised too, for the best – the Chopard Alpine Eagle is the direct descendant of the slightly baroque St. Moritz model of the 1980s. We’ve seen the watch becoming an entire collection, with a tourbillon, an extra-large chronograph or a compact feminine version, as well as many colours […]
The Chopard Alpine Eagle, a direct descendant of the slightly baroque St. Moritz model of the 1980s, was resurrected and modernised to reflect contemporary tastes. Since its revival, we’ve seen the Alpine Eagle expand to become an entire collection with a tourbillon, an extra-large chronograph or a compact feminine version, as well as many colours or […]
We’ve been looking at the new Nomos Club Sport neomatik 37 already in a rather extensive article here, praising its cool looks, great mechanics and mostly, its very appealing dimensions. Far from small, just perfectly sized, thin and still robust, this new sports watch by the Glashütte-based manufacturer ticks many boxes. So we thought it […]
In motorsport, every second or even a hundredth of a second can be critical. Nowadays, when marginal gains make the winner, the technology around the racers keeps track in precious detail, there are split-second chronographs and finish line cameras, and the results are factored down to a minimum. The title of an official timekeeping partner […]
Not too long ago we featured a Norwegian brand called MICROMILSPEC for the very first time. It was the first encounter with a company that before then used to fly under the radar, literally, as its watches have never been commercially available so far. Instead, MICROMILSPEC produces commissioned pieces only, in strong collaboration with military […]
There are dozens of watches within Seiko’s professional collection, also known as the Prospex line. Many of them have a true emblematic status, such as the Monster, the Samurai, the Alpinist, the Sumo and many more. Few, however, can rival with the Turtle when it comes to fame. Accessible, solid, classically-designed, typical Seiko and with […]
Alright, it’s not because our friends of Time+Tide come from Australia that this watch is upside down (well, in fact, they do live upside down, according to some beliefs… anyway…) No, there’s another reason behind this very, very confusing watch. Confusion is the master word here, and it all goes back to a meeting between […]
