Following the trend initiated in February 2020, with a decline of 9.2% of exports, the FHS, the Swiss Watch Federation, just released its export statistics for the month of March 2020, showing even more than before the effect of COVID-19 on the markets – but keep in mind that these numbers are related to exports, […]
Michael Jordan has just reminded us of the modern classic in our midst that is the latest iteration of the Rolex Sky-Dweller, relaunched in 2017. And while Part 2 of his collection gave me, as a fortunate and fairly fanatical Big Pilot owner (oh, what a watch), a kick to be on team MJ, it also reminded me of a Rolex I’ve not yet managed to bring to earth and to my wrist. That 2017 Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller. I went back to our archives and found a video as well as this long review with absolutely stunning pictures by our main man, Jason Reekie. I was enamoured all over again. It reminded me that, while this lockdown and pause in new releases is surreal and frankly annoying, it is giving us more time than ever to reflect on past as well as present greatness. So here, I combine them into a supersized in-depth review, with a couple of videos and an owner’s perspective to complement it. For good measure, there’s also the video from Baselworld when we first encountered the watch. Scroll to the end of the post to see that, and a more thicc version of me too. If…

From pilots to RM Divers, he knows no bounds. IWC Big Pilots MJ is a fan of the brand from Schaffhausen and owns three different Big Pilot models (that we know of). The first is a Reference 5002 Big Pilot in stainless steel with 7 days of power reserve. For most normal people, pulling off a 46mm case is a bit of a tall order but it’s no problem for Jordan. The second model is a platinum model, which he wore to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama in 2016. We know it’s the platinum model due to the blue dial and strap. The final Big Pilot owned by Jordan is a gold Annual Calendar Antoine de Saint Exupéry limited edition of 250 pieces, featuring a calendar that only needs to be adjusted once a year at the end of February.

A seemingly simple question has a very complicated answer.
A couple of weeks ago, we took a close look at the 1965 “62MAS” Re-Creation SLA037J1, a watch that was inspired by the mother of all Seiko diving instruments and part of the trilogy launched by the brand to celebrate the 55th anniversary of its involvement in aquatic territories. So, talking trilogy, it is time […]
