Introducing the H. Moser & Cie. Venturer XL Concept Dubai Edition

Now the concept (no pun intended) takes an unusual twist with a nine-piece limited edition made for Dubai retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. Just unveiled at Dubai Watch Week 2017, the Venturer XL Concept Dubai Edition features a baby blue […]

5 Cool Features of The New Glashutte Original Senator Excellence

Not so long ago, at Baselworld 2016, the Saxonian brand Glashutte Original, known for its classical, technical and finely manufactured watches, introduced a new collection, named the Senator Excellence. We took a bit of time before having a look at it, but no worries, we didn’t forget about this watch. And it has some arguments, as being an elegant 3-hander, with dress design (but not too much), powered by a brand new in-house movement family: the Calibre 36. Today, we have a closer look at this new Glashutte Original Senator Excellence and the 5 features that make it rather interesting.

Breguet Heritage 5410 Tonneau Watch Hands-On

While most men’s watches Breguet produces are round, the Heritage 5410 is a rare exception. The Breguet Heritage 5410, which features a tonneau-shaped case along with distinctive Breguet elements is a really nicely made package. Tonneau watches have been around for almost 100 years, but have most recently become popular thanks to two extremely different brands: Franck Muller and Richard Mille.

#TBT The Legendary Doxa Sub 300T Sharkhunter

I’d bet that it was ten years ago that I found myself looking at pictures of a vintage Doxa Sub 300T and the brand’s newest offerings on the company’s website. There was something so cool about this watch that hadn’t really changed since its mid-1960’s introduction. Perhaps it was the then rudimentary website that hasn’t […]

HANDS-ON: We did not expect the steel and gold Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph to be this awesome

omega-speedmaster-moonphase-gold-steel-sliderIf, at the start of 2016, you’d have told me my favourite Omega of the year would be a two-tone Speedmaster (yellow gold no less!) with a green bezel, I’d have enjoyed a good laugh at your expense. I like a Speedy as much as the next guy, but I like them in the straight-up classical format, a la NASA. Well, fast forward a few months and you’ll have to excuse me as I wipe egg off my face, because here it is, my pick of the Omega 2016 litter – the Speedmaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer Moonphase Chronograph in steel and yellow gold. For me, the real lesson here is to never truly judge a watch until it’s on your wrist. The crush I had on this watch was instant, and real. Earlier this year, I’d seen blue and black versions of the model that were the Baselworld centrepieces, and I liked them. But this was different. There was an immediate, almost visceral reaction as I strapped it to my wrist. The grey sunburst dial, emerald green bezel insert, and yellow gold crown, pushers and bezel all work amazingly well together, adding up to a hefty dose of flash on the wrist, without being…

Introducing: The Autodromo Monoposto Chronograph, Celebrating The Brooklyn-Based Brand’s Fifth Anniversary

You longtime HODINKEE readers might remember the original Autodromo Monoposto, which debuted back in 2012. It was the company’s first automatic watch and was a limited edition of 500 numbered pieces. They’ve all been sold out for a long time now, but for the fifth anniversary of the brand, founder Bradley Price wanted to bring the Monoposto back in some way. So, he went out and found a quality chronograph movement, adapted the original design, and brought us the watch we have here today. The new Monoposto Chronograph is not a straight reissue, but rather the next member of a family.
