If there is one type of complications that is most popular, it has to be the chronograph. Nearly all brands have one (or more) in their collection, and there are only few watch connoisseurs and collectors that don’t have one as well.
RJ-Romain Jerome is known to offer a wide variety of creations across the spectrum of “Air”, “Earth”, “Sea” & “Collaborations”. Among these, the “Collaborations” collection draws a great amount of attention for its unique blend of craftsmanship and innovation, bringing collections to life. Great examples of the above…
Oris’ motto is “Real watches for real people“… and it’s not just a marketing gimmick (which happens rather often in this luxury watches industry, to say the least). Don’t be surprised to see that Oris watches are worn by ambassadors that are just a bit far away from red carpets. For instance, take a look at the Rega Altimeter, or the El Hierro Limited Edition… For their latest creation, it’s with Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service (one of the world’s most iconic aeromedical services) that Oris is teaming up, with a new watch, the Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II.
Swiss watch conglomerate Swatch Group, owner of brands like Omega and Longines, has just premiered its latest product: a Bluetooth chip that’s the smallest ever, measuring just 5mm2, about a third the size of a grain of rice. Not only is it the tiniest on the market, the the new chip also boasts the lowest energy consumption, […]
After two first editions, one with a classical silver dial and one with a striking blue dial (which we reviewed here), both successfully funded by community-based projects, Lebois & Co today announced their return to the Kickstarter program to raise funds for the 3rd Re- launch Edition of their Avantgarde Date. Besides coming with a nice black dial, there’s more to offer now “under the hood”… New dial and new movement for a great quality upgrading.
AMG cars, Lappi tires with 2mm spikes, IWC watches and ice. Very thick ice. The perfect ingredients for the AMG Winter Sporting Experience. Some weeks ago we received an invite from IWC Schaffhausen to join them on an event in the Northern Part of Sweden. Last time we went to Sweden we’ve been sailing racing yachts. […]
Epos is one of those brands that doesn’t have immediate name recognition among the broader group of watch enthusiasts, but it does have a loyal following that frequently cites the brand’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and how they stand out from the crowd as reasons they were initially drawn to it.
As material sciences advanced, watchmaking and watch decoration eventually progressed into specialist fields, executed by professionals in separate departments of a modern manufacture. However, for men like Abraham-Louis Breguet, the watchmaking conundrum was dual-pronged – a test of engineering and a challenge of material sciences.…
It’s been a mildly epic week here at T+T HQ. We’ve had a full plate of videography, airshow action with Oris (we’re now investigating options around leasing a Pilatus private jet – don’t tell our accountant), and Felix is becoming worryingly attached to the Apple Watch he’s reviewing. On top of all this, the logisitical nightmare that is our Baselworld 2017 schedule continues apace. Basically, we’ve earned our Friday knock-off drinks this week. Now if only we had a space-age flask to pour our booze out of… What happened? It’s really good to see one of the biggest names in independent horology, Urwerk, get behind the Friday Wind Down. Surely it can’t be a coincidence that they’ve released Flask 2, a 21st century take on the classic 21st gift – the hip flask. Developed in partnership with The Macallan, this frankly ridiculous bar accessory has us in need of a stiff drink. What really mattered? The watchspotting eyes of the world have been intently focused on Hollywood’s elite this week, what with the prime wrist candy on display at the Oscars. With all that fuss, we almost missed the most important spot of the week, David Beckham repping T+T in this heavy-horological-metal T-shirt. What are…

Titled Mechanical/Biological [Crustacean Study], the series of drawings by French artist Steeven Salvat by are inspired by 19th century biological illustrations, and created in much the same manner. The series comprises nine illustrations, each depicting various species of crabs and lobsters. Each crustacean is depicted from a bird’s eye view, with one half shown with the shell […]
