If like me, you grew up in the 1990s, the newly launched collaboration between the Seiko 5 Sports and Street Fighter V will be something that inspires a bucketload of nostalgia. The six variants launched may be designed based on the latest Street Fighter game but the characters that they chose reminded me of the […]
Over the past few years, Seiko has been resurrecting iconic models from their past, offering faithful reissues and a modern reinterpretation of said watches. Two that caused quite the stir when they were announced were Seiko’s first diver’s watch from 1965 and another from 1970. There isn’t anything new about the design of the watch […]
The revival of the Omega Calibre 321 is one that is immensely exciting, particularly so for the watch geek. A brand digging into its past for inspiration is not exactly novel in the watch industry but usually brands tend to reissue a certain historical piece but give it a makeover for the modern consumer (usually […]
Stick in the watch industry long enough and sooner or later you’ll start to see the brands evolve. Most of the time brands change incrementally with each year’s novelties, but sometimes, like in the case of Maurice Lacroix, they come up with a collection that completely reinvents the company. And that is exactly what the […]
Fans of chunky, high-tech watches will probably rejoice at the sight of the new Hublot Big Bang Integral launched just last week at the start of the LVMH Watch Week 2021. Sure, you may say that the ceramic case and the ceramic bracelet has already been done but I think I can say, not quite […]
I admit I have always been a strong proponent for a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and more importantly functional. Thus, I have never quite been a fan of monochrome dials which looks cool but makes it hard to read the time. However, my mind has been changed forever with this special edition collaboration […]
Even after writing about watches for a good five or six years, I have only a slightly-better-than-average understanding of how a mechanical watch works. Explaining the difference between quartz and mechanical movements is simple enough. The former uses electronics and a quartz crystal to keep time while the latter uses a series of mechanical parts […]
In the past couple of years, there have been numerous strides made in making ever thinner movements. Bulgari currently holds the records for the thinnest minute repeater, tourbillon and automatic watch while Piaget has the thinnest mechanical watch at only 2mm in height. And considering the shape of the modern wristwatch, it only makes sense […]

We all know the feeling of getting that first foot into the deep rabbit hole that is watches.

And of course, for the first couple of months, you can hardly take the thing […]
