The new Breitling Avenger collection is their take on a modern pilot’s watch made to push aviation limits The Watch Hand
Ever since Georges Kern took the helm as the CEO of Breitling, he has been on a rampage of sorts trying to turn the brand into more than just a one-trick pony. A little over two years into his leadership, the brand is scarcely recognisable and we mean that in the best way possible. They […]

The MB&F HM10 Bulldog is quite possibly man’s best friend – The Watch Hand
In the world of high-end watchmaking, it’s not every day you hear that a watch was inspired by a dog. And yet, this sounds exactly like what a rebellious and quirky brand like MB&F would do. According to the founder, their latest Horological Machine No. 10 was inspired by the British Bulldog. It’s weird to […]
A new Omega Constellation befitting of the new generation – The Watch Hand
When it comes to Omega, the Constellation collection is often overlooked, giving way to more prominent watches in the brand like the Seamaster and the Speedmaster. However, the Constellation still represents one of the oldest collections within the brand and with the first watch launched in 1952, it has a deep and storied history within […]
The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Full Lum shines in the absence of light – The Watch Hand
As far as watch enthusiasts are concerned, no detail is too minute for scrutiny. And in the case of sporty, tool watches, the lume can play an important factor in determining whether or not a watch succeeds in this category. Not only is the brightness of the lume called into question but questions like how […]
The Longines Legend Diver finally comes in a 36mm case fitting of the era it was inspired from – The Watch Hand
We have a love-hate moment every time Longines decides to dig into their archives and pull out yet another Heritage model for their collection. On the one hand its great to have a vintage design with the reliability of a modern watch but because Longines have to kinda cater to a more mass-market it often […]

Back To The Future with Zenith’s DEFY Revival A3690 – The Watch Hand
In the last couple of years, Zenith seems to have found immense success with their Revival models. And I think one of the main reasons it is successful is that they reproduce them near identical to the original models. I, for one, love the design of vintage pieces but will happily acknowledge I lack the […]
