Inspired by watchmaker and founding father Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the L.U.C collection bearing his initials has been home to arguably some of Chopard’s finest contemporary work. Well, that collection just got a new flagship wth the Geneva Seal-certified L.U.C Lunar One.
With the Basel watch fair opening its doors in a few days, pre-Baselworld novelties are now coming daily in our emails – and one surprised us, in a very good way, the Arnold & Son Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36. Symmetry and open-worked movements are essential in Arnold & Son’s collection but not only. Precision, as we’ve seen with the massively impressive Constant Force Tourbillon (that we properly tested), is also key (yet with a hefty price). But if you look for all of that, at a much more accessible price, the Tourbillon Chronometer No. 36 will certainly tick a few boxes…
If you’re a soccer fan and you’ve been in the watch industry long enough, you start to see patterns in the many sponsorships which can develop during the course of a few seasons – some of them are surprisingly magical – no, I’m not going to wax lyrical about how mechanical watches represent the…
Hong Kong-based Alvarae has applied their expertise with carbon materials to offer the “Forged Carbon Armour” case as a compelling aftermarket modification to a Casio G-Shock DW6900 watch.

Some years, it’s giant leaps for mankind that steal the limelight, and others it’s, well, increments on a (slightly redesigned) tachymeter.

The “MilSub,” or “Military Submariner” is a rare variant of the Rolex Submariner that was issued to the British armed forces. But when most of us think of the term “MilSub”, we think of the 5513 or 5517 with the sword hards, fully graduated bezel insert, and circled “T” on the dial that we see on Instagram or in a few different episodes of Talking Watches. But those watches date to the 1970s – and they’re pretty well studied. Today over on the Vintage Rolex Forum, Australian dealer Jed McCormack has given us a pretty detailed look at the other Rolex military Submariners.
Louis Vuitton doesn’t exhibit at Baselworld but nonetheless is announcing several new watches ahead of the trade fair: a trio of Escale complications with muted dark blue dials and bi-metal cases in titanium and precious metals.
