Introducing – Louis Moinet Mogador Tourbillon (Live Pics)
Watches produced by Louis Moinet are never shy and usually showcase a certain exuberance. However, the brand also has an impressive horological background (the first chronograph timepiece ever created, for instance) and today’s collections still feature complex movements. Not changing its usual codes, the brand today presents a new, highly ornamented piece with a tourbillon, the Louis Moinet Mogador.
HANDS-ON: The sustainable Submersible, Panerai’s Submersible Mike Horn Edition, PAM00984
There were a lot of very interesting watches released at SIHH. Oftentimes, this interest was centred around complication — and rightly so, it’s really the watch industry’s traditional bailiwick. But for me, one of the most interesting collections overall was Panerai. Panerai, while certainly accomplished at the higher end of the spectrum, tends not to play the complication game, which is entirely in keeping with the brand’s rough and tumble history. Instead, they went down a different (and perhaps more significant in the long run) route. Panerai’s SIHH 2019 releases were exclusively Submersible models, several of which tie into Panerai’s existing brand partnerships — including a series of extremely limited pieces that come with a fairly incredible money-can’t-buy experience bundled in, a pivot to a more experiential offering that’s a smart play. After all, what better way to immerse yourself in the world of Panerai than free diving in French Polynesia, or training with Italian commandos? The watch we’re looking at today is part of this equation – it’s the Mike Horn Edition, made in collaboration with legendary explorer and long-time Panerai ambassador Mike Horn. On the surface, it’s a tough, reliable dive watch, but look a little deeper and…

Introducing – A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase “25th Anniversary”
Prior to the SIHH, A. Lange & Söhne announced a new limited edition celebrating the 25th anniversary of what certainly is its most emblematic watch, the Lange 1 – which was born in 1994 and part of the inaugural “relaunch” collection. However, the brand isn’t only celebrating one model but in fact the entire Lange 1 collection. This isn’t one watch that will be introduced but 10 models, all along the year. Based on this beautiful modern version, here’s the A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase “25th Anniversary”.

Hands-on – Chronoswiss Flying Grand Regulator Skeleton 2019 Limited Edition

We’ve recently looked at some quirky ones, like the Hamilton Jazzmaster Regulator Cinema and Baume HRS Limited Edition Automatic, but when it comes to serious pieces, Chronoswiss has embraced the style in […]
LIST: 3 well-dressed men straight up wrist flexing at the 2019 Oscars
There’s an argument to be made for a subtle sartorial flex (and it’s an argument that Barack Obama definitely won with his Rag & Bone “44” bomber jacket btw). Class, elegance, all that jazz. But there’s an equally strong statement to be made for putting your best foot forward, and expressing yourself. Something these three fellas are very familiar with. Bradley Cooper and his IWC Big Pilot Big Bradley Cooper has been filling out the role of a 21st century interpretation of a classic Hollywood leading man, wearing a pin-sharp Tom Ford tux, and bringing his mum along to the big night. But just because he’s playing it straight in the wrist department, don’t be fooled. The unique IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince in red gold adds a distinctive gravitas of its own. Bonus points for the fact that Cooper’s IWC is being auctioned off for charity after the big night. Ryan Seacrest and his Rolex Daytona Ryan Seacrest, he of the ever-flashing teeth and wrist, once again flexed hard at the Academy Awards, wearing his default Daytona. But this time around he left his steel 6263 at home, opting for the power of gold. Perfectly paired with that brocade…
