Rado introduced its Captain Cook model to the market in 1962 to satisfy the demand from amateur and professional divers. Keen to conquer the depths, these underwater adventures would have been unfeasible without a proper watch. Production of the Captain Cook was halted in 1968, with the estimated total number of pieces released during six […]
Since the arrival of Guido Terreni as the brand’s new CEO in 2021, Parmigiani Fleurier has focused almost exclusively on developing the Tonda PF, a refined luxury sports watch collection derived from the existing Tonda line. Represented by a handful of complications, the mantra of the Tonda PF is always “understatement” and, until today, all […]
Since the release of its first collection in 1992, Nomos has never ceased to please with its minimalistic designs, its nice movements (specifically since it moved to in-house in 2005) and a certain flair for fun and lightness. Fresh, young, very German and at the same time thinking out of the box, the brand has […]
Rolex and the exploration of the world’s greatest depths is a story that goes back to the 1950s, when the Piccards (father and son) took the Trieste Bathyscaphe down to the Mariana Trench, with a very special Rolex watch attached to the exterior of their submarine.

Sure, you can upgrade the depth rating or play around with the materials the design or colours, but that’s about it, right? The majority of dive watches end up looking more […]

The brand is introducing a new piece called the Skeleton in its Contemporary Collection, which is simply a follow-up to last year’s Skeleton in the Classic Collection. That prior model celebrated Orient Star’s 70th anniversary […]
If anybody outside the watch world were to ask what some of the biggest trends in watchmaking are today, the answer would undoubtedly include ‘collaborations’ and ‘sustainability‘. Ulysse Nardin is no stranger to collaborations, and for its latest Diver, it teams up with Norwegian outdoor sportswear brand Norrøna to produce the Diver Norrøna Arctic Night. […]
Zenith’s Defy Extreme is precisely that: an extreme version of the standard Defy model with a larger angular case and bolder design cues. By extension, you could say that contemporary artist Felipe Pantone also has a very fitting name since we all associate Pantone with the universal language of colour and his artworks and installations […]
