If you’ve been drooling over Konstantin Chaykin Joker but just can’t handle its high-watchmaking price tag (five figures in MYR), then the new Happiewatch will definitely make you happy. It has crazy eyes, it has the dial in the shape of a face and the best part is it cost around a thousand ringgit. In […]
Over the many years covering watches, we have seen quite a fair number of water/sea inspired dials but the new Grand Seiko Heritage Collection SLGA007 has one of the best we have ever seen. Through its past couple of launches, we have seen several interesting dial designs from Grand Seiko taking ‘Nature of Time’ inspiration […]
There is a reason I love tool watches. To me, they serve as a reminder that before these timekeeping devices became luxury products, they were just that – tools. And just as the unidirectional bezel on dive watches helped the diver, and the slide rule on the Breitling Navitimer helped pilots, the compass on the […]
When Roger Dubuis first announced their partnership with Formula 1’s sole tyre supplier, Pirelli, in 2017, it marked a decidedly different direction compared to the other luxury brands that instead chose to partner up with F1 teams. However, when they revealed the collaboration watch would feature rubber straps made from the actual tyres of Formula […]
With vintage styling somewhat of a trend within the watch industry these days, it is truly a breath of fresh air to see a brand like Breitling taking the risk to create a brand-new collection. Introducing the Breitling Endurance Pro, a watch inspired by a conversation with a member of their own Triathlon Squad, resulting […]
Over the past year or so, it would seem like Bell & Ross has been taking all sorts of liberties with the design of their cases. First, it was the new softer square of the BR 05 and now, with the latest iteration of their Skull watch, they are offering a polygonal shape with the […]
With ‘eco-friendly’ and ‘sustainability’ becoming buzzwords in all facets of retail-related industries, we see more watch companies starting to pay attention to the plight of our planet. From watch straps made with nylon recycled from discarded fishing nets to brands working with environmental organisations worldwide. Now, Luminox is even taking plastic trash directly from the […]
A carousel is another complication in watchmaking that functions much like the famed tourbillon whereby it rotates the entire escapement and balance wheel on a axis to counteract the effects of gravity on this timekeeping complication. However, where a tourbillon usually has a single powetrain that powers the escapement and rotate the tourbillon cage, the […]
Just by looking at today’s ornate mechanical watches, you’d struggle to think that they were anything other than just luxury items. However, if you’d take just a short jump back in time, these mechanical marvels were in fact necessities. With the absence of today’s technology, the synergy of a movement’s moving parts was the most […]
Never have I ever seen the watch world go so crazy over a new colour addition to an existing collection. But I can’t say I am too surprised considering that the collection in question is the ever-popular Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight and the colour in question is a rich navy blue that has a long […]
