Breguet’s Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 is an unabashedly complex and an unabashedly ornate timepiece. It is a massive gold vessel laden with history, complications and maritime flourishes that invites inquiry. One of Breguet’s most technically ambitious timepieces, the 5887 packs a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon and an ingenious running equation of time indicator on […]
A watch collection designed to do it all.
A superb subscription watch from a promising young watchmaker.
Watching Andrew in the Virtual Baselworld 2020 recap I had a deep understanding of the distracted description of the glacial blue degradè dial of the Sixties pieces from Glashütte Original. Today I’m quietly drawn to something that is so far removed from my vintage diver tool-tastes that I am genuinely surprised. Glashütte Original is the independent child in the Swatch Group family, left to their own devices in the German mountains, with the result being a superb range of classic Germanic horology infused with a strong identity and in-house production. Their fascinating mix of strictly traditional watchmaking, in their Senator series, stretching to Haute Horlogerie with tourbillons juxtaposed with their Sixties and Seventies ranges. The latter two are recognisable by their aforementioned dazzling degradè dials with colours even the boldest of us would shy away from – then falling in love with after a closer look. In between what is a majority of quite dressy references, we have their only vintage diver, one of the categories du jour. The SeaQ is a picture-perfect version of their Spezimatic from 1969 in its pure tool form. A quietly confident skin diver in an all-brushed guise, with classic square lug openings and delicate bevels…

Hamilton is no stranger to film collaborations, even producing the Jazzmaster Regulator Cinema in 2018 to celebrate 86 years in movies. A Ventura on the wrist of Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii and custom pieces featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey highlight over 500 film appearances. Recent placements include several Men in Black movies and […]
Coming in hot like a Ki Blast, G-Shock is expanding its releases in collaboration with the internationally renowned Dragon Ball Z franchise across the globe. And this new GA110JDB is both the ultimate wristwear for Dragon Ball Z fans, and a watch that – in general – makes perfect sense in 2020, because it’s wild. Like the standard production model, this watch is outfitted with a mineral crystal, a 200-metre water resistant case (with resistance to both magnetism and shocks), and CR1220 battery which should keep the watch running for 2 years. Its dimensions are ready for battle at 55.0mm x 51.2mm x 16.9 mm, and a weight of a mere 72g. This watch, however, is quite special and distinct from others within the lineup. It is packed with subtle, and very unsubtle, nods to the Dragon Ball Z series on practically all of the components of the watch. The orange resin case and band are covered in Dragon Ball Z illustrations and graphic elements, depicting scenes of training and growth of the series protagonist Son Goku. The orange with black streaks resembles Son Goku’s wardrobe in combat and the way in which it creases during battle. It is also…

Less practical. More fun.
Perhaps not the best-known collection at Girard-Perregaux, eclipsed somewhat by the prominence given to its Laureato luxury sports watch family and its heritage Bridges collection, the 1966 is where you’ll find simple, elegant round dress watches with a touch of retro. The latest model to join the 1966 family is the Orion, a trilogy of […]
