We’re pretty sure this doesn’t need to be said, but let’s say it anyway. Don’t buy watches when you’re drunk. Nothing good can come from it. Seriously. Nothing. You’ll wake up hungover, surrounded with bottles of Dom/Chivas/Pabst (depending on budget and taste), considerably poorer and with a rare Enicar Sherpa Graph heading your way via the Philippines.…
A Spot the Watch that comes about again by accident slightly. We have seen shots from on the set of Jason Statham’s film Mechanic Resurrection with him wearing a notable dive watch, but were unaware of another watch being on his wrist in the film. We saw the RedBand trailer had just been released and…

Are you tired of me talking about tribute watches yet? I hope not, because this is a really awesome one. Longines has been featured in The Value Proposition a number of times, and for good reason. Out in Saint-Imier, they’ve done a nice job of digging back into the company archive for successful designs of days gone by and then recreating them without (as most companies do) screwing them up somehow. The latest example of this is the Heritage 1969 and it’s one of the better watches on the market today under $2,500.
I saw this “hand” with disconcertingly realistic fingers impatiently tapping at the MB&F M.A.D.Gallery in Geneva. Entitled “Fingers Mk III by Nik Ramage for Laikingland,” it is actually a piece of playful mechanical art. But what else might you use a handy device like this for? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
We’re now in the final days of the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Following two weeks of intense competition, thousands of athletes will be flying back home after Sunday’s closing ceremony, some with a medal or two (or six, if you’re Michael Phelps). As this year’s games come to an end, it seems fitting to finish with a little bit of Olympic horological history.
In this round-up, we talk about spotting future collectables, as well as the recent trend of blacked out watches. And as usual, we also check out new watches, including one that I have been looking forward to all year.
Omega Constellation You probably know me best for being an avid Speedmaster fan and collector. But my passion for watches started actually with the Omega Constellation. I wrote about this in-depth when I did a write up on the Sedna gold version of the Omega Globemaster. Anyway, the Globemaster is part of the Constellation family. […]
By Roberta Naas This year, the watch world recognized the diverse dimensions of its audiences. Not everyone wants a black, white, gray or blue watch – some like their time with an explosion of color—even at the highest end of the spectrum. Perhaps more than ever before, brands in all price realms are complying – offering red, yellow, pink, blue, purple, orange, lime green and other color watch straps and dials. This explosion of color, however,
When the little known Patek, Czapek & Cie first founded the now eponymous Patek Philippe in 1839, it was with scant knowledge that their humble maison on Quai de Bergues, Geneva would become a purveyor of high horology. After all, the year of their founding was likely reminiscent of our own witnessing of the first iPhones; we had taken…
