If the Aikon collection has been at the forefront recently for the brand, there’s far more to Maurice Lacroix of course. The Maurice Lacroix Pontos for instance is a well-established collection within the brand and is also available in many guises. From a classy dress watch to dive watches and even a monopusher chronograph, there’s […]
Released last year, the Zenith Defy Extreme has become the Le Locle-based brand’s most daring and robust watch, with an unmistakable look and a movement capable of recording elapsed times with insane precision. With such an aggressive, bold look, and its capacity to mix-and-match materials, it was also the perfect vehicle for collaborations and racing […]
About a month ago, Tudor dropped a new edition of what is its most hardcore dive watch to date: the Pelagos. First released in 2012, this 42mm titanium watch was designed for action with its 500m WR and helium valve, its ultra-focused design and the use of lightweight, resistant and functional materials. It was followed […]
“The Speedmaster Moonwatch should be in stainless steel. Period. This is how NASA wanted it, this is how Omega created it, and this is how it went to the Moon.” This is the type of argument you can imagine hearing from the mouth of strongly opinionated Speedy fans.

In line with the brand’s active DNA, its CEO, Ben Kuffer, has always encouraged his team to create high-performance watches. With the Norqain […]
For many of us, a concept watch is designed to show off a brand’s technical skills and potential direction for the future. Like the concept cars the idea was borrowed from, concept watches tend to be cutting-edge, humongously complex, far-out timepieces that are eventually toned down and evolve into tamer commercial editions or never see […]
There is no hiding the popularity of the Royal Oak as a collection. Audemars Piguet‘s luxury sports watch, the initiator of the genre born in 1972, is one of the few truly iconic watches on the market and celebrated its grand 50th anniversary earlier this year. If most Royal Oak models are highly coveted, there […]
There’s one thing that can’t be denied about Orient’s watches, it’s the impressive value for the money they offer. We’ve seen it very clearly with the new Bambino 38, which left a very positive impression on the team. Accessible and yet well built, they however sometimes can lack a bit of fun and cool. Well, […]
Imagine the responsibility and challenges of having to produce 50th-anniversary watches to honour the forerunner and undisputed leader of the luxury sports watch. Luckily, Audemars Piguet is not daunted by challenges and has feted its Royal Oak’s 50th birthday with standout models like the Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202 with a newly developed movement. A couple of […]
