Panerai releases yet another Bronzo. The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo – 47mm (PAM00671), also known as the blue dial Bronzo. The practice of milking the cash cow is not any foreign, but is very likely to come at the dismay of early brand supporters, especially owners of the green dial Bronzos. The watch is identical to its…
Jaeger-LeCoultre did everything right at SIHH. Their collection surprised and delighted in equal measure with a little something for everyone, from high-end tourbillons to fresh takes on the feminine Rendez-Vous, and sexy new variants of old favourites (we’re looking at you, black and pink gold Master Compressor). But it was the trio of watches comprising the refreshed Master range that really stole the show. That’s not just thanks to their undeniably handsome looks, but also their smart pricing, and the fact JLC seems willing to listen to what consumers want, and offer an on-trend addition to their typically timeless fare. The only question left to answer is, which do you prefer: the Date, Chronograph or the Geographic?

The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor Cobalt MicroMelt which is the first watch in the world to feature a case constructed entirely out of cobalt chrome – a high-strength alloy that serves as a suitable backdrop for the watch’s impressive quad layout balance.
There are some people who just nail Instagram. Bjoern, also known as @Loevhagen, is one of those people. More specifically, he’s one of the masters of the wristshot, recognised widely for his creative photography. Hailing from southern Norway – and not keen to divulge much more than that – he has an impressive watch collection filled with new and vintage Rolex and Tudor. NAME: Bjoern OCCUPATION: International man of mystery HANDLE: @Loevhagen FOLLOWERS: 73.3k LOCATION: Norway T+T: A glance at your feed might make people think you only wear Rolex. Is that the case? For the past three years, I’ve virtually only worn Rolex but when I started this instagram feed as a hobby, I had no plans of even getting one. I had two Orients, and after that I explored a couple of Steinharts – but then I bought a Rolex Polar 216570 and loved it. I got a 16750 Pepsi next and the BLNR new, and suddenly, I owned 10 Rolexes. T+T: What is it you like about the brand? I can understand the fascination some people have for annual calendars and other complications, but I like my watches robust, simple and functional by design. I just need the time…

One of the most famous photographs of Steve Jobs is one taken in Jobs’s home in Woodside, California, in 1984, by photographer Norman Seeff. The image shows Jobs sitting on the floor with the very first Apple Macintosh computer perched on his lap. On his wrist is a small, unfussy, unobtrusive wristwatch made by Seiko, originally from the Seiko Chariot series. That actual watch sold at auction last year for $42,500 and we’ve just heard that Seiko will be re-issuing the watch as a limited edition exclusive to the Japanese domestic market, in partnership with Tokyo-based clothing designer and retailer Nano Universe.

“What makes a Cartier watch different is really the work on shape and design.” This one sentence pretty much sums up the 25 pieces we got to see from Cartier’s official archives, including some of the craziest variations of the iconic Tank. This outstanding lineup also showed how Cartier has managed to continuously re-invent itself over nearly two centuries, with a unique ability to twist a classic and still keep the distinctly elegant vibe that has characterized the French maison since its founding in 1847. But aesthetics are not the only domain in which Cartier turned the horological world upside down; one should not forget where the invention of the deployant buckle came from, nor the countless groundbreaking calibers specifically developed for such inventive cases.
