I have to confess I have always found the idea of a Ball watch appealing, what with its railroad/engineer approach to its watches combined with the long-lasting glow of the tritium gas tubes. The one thing that has always put me off however, is the slightly classical design approach they seem to take with most […]
Over the last couple of years, the scene for microbrand watches has just exploded. Meaning watch lovers out there now have tons of incredible choices especially in the affordable/entry-level price bracket. If you’re having trouble deciding whether to go microbrand or the traditional brands read this. Anyway, it’s one thing to achieve runaway success with […]
After a short tease, Rolex has finally unveiled their 2020 update to the Submariner. The most visible change to this collection is a 1mm increase in case diameter and yet, the watch enthusiast community is alive with chatter; thus, proving why Rolex is the brand that wears the crown. The Submariner dive watch has been […]
These days, when you talk about pilot’s watches, it is usually the large diameter watches, with large numerals and unique hands that come to mind. And it had a good reason for this. The sole function that differentiated pilot’s watches from the rest of the military timepieces was that it would be highly legible, letting […]
Welcoming yet another GMT with a dual-coloured bezel in 2018, we have Bell & Ross and their quite striking BR V2-93 GMT. However, compared to the other beverage-inspired combinations seen on a number of GMT watches launched this year, Bell & Ross decided to go with a rather subtle black and grey colour combination for […]
Zenith has had a stellar couple of years, ever since their new CEO, Julien Tornare, came on board in 2017. Before that, every year it was just Zenith offering some variant or another, all riding on the coattails of their legendary El Primero movement. This year, however, is the strongest showing of Zenith yet, with […]
With the amount of PAC-MAN graphics on this A100, there is no need to explain the collaboration here. However, as we took a closer look at this new Casio A100WEPC we found quite a few incredible details that we think is worth pointing out. The first of which is the strap. While the case is […]
Ever since the launch of the very first BR 01, Bell & Ross has been known for being the brand that puts a round in a square. More precisely a round dial in a square case. And with the launch of the BR 05 collection in 2019, they softened down that square but still kept […]
Over the past couple of months, the race to come up with a steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet has been running rampant throughout the watch world. And the latest contestant to cross the finish line is Hublot with its brand new Big Bang Integral. What’s surprising about Hublot’s entry is the fact that […]
After its debut in 2019 and a chronograph in 2020, finally, the BR 05 collection from Bell & Ross is getting a GMT. If I’m being honest, I think the GMT is the complication that resonates the most with this sporty, dynamic and elegant case. It gives you the ability to track two different timezones, […]
For fans of the pilot’s watches, the new Longines Avigation Watch A-7 1935 is something to keep an eye out for. We have covered watches inspired by modern fighter jets and US Army pilot’s watches of the 70s, but this piece harks back to the 1930s when the concept of commercial flight was still at […]
It’s one thing to take a watch from your archives and create a modern re-issue, but it’s another thing altogether to revive a now-defunct name for the same purpose. That, however, is exactly what Seiko did when they announced a limited-edition reissue of the King Seiko KSK, SJE083, to celebrate their 140th anniversary next year. […]
Ingeniously English. Unsurprisingly Swiss. This is how Christopher Ward describe themselves. And for a company that was founded on a slow boat ride cruising down the river Thames, it is an apt description indeed. Founded since 2005, the company has been around long before the microbrand, Kickstarter watch trend took off. Although when you look […]
