In this neck of the woods (Malaysia), surfing is not a thing, but we have to say that this latest G-Shock watch endorsed by pro-surfer Kanoa Igarashi definitely caught our attention. The GLX-5600KI is part of Casio’s new G-LIDE lineup of watches for extreme sports which still sits under the G-Shock family of watches. To […]

Over the last few months, Longines has released quite a few new pieces for their Heritage line. These two, in particular, look back at the watches of the late 1940s but in two very distinct styles.

For the longest time, the showings from Zenith has been lacklustre. It seemed like they had reached their ‘zenith’ (meaning the highest point on the celestial sphere) back in 1969 with their world-renowned El Primero movement and have just been riding on its coattails since. However, three years ago Julien Tornare took over the helms […]
