A while back, during the online exhibition of Watches & Wonders 2020, we covered some over-the-top pieces launched there. Today, we are doing the polar opposite of that and taking a look at two pared-down, simple and pure watches from IWC Schaffhausen and Jaeger-LeCoultre.

It has been a great couple of years for Tudor. Last year they debuted their very successful Black Bay GMT and the year before that their very first Chronograph with an in-house movement.

If you ever needed proof that aeronautics runs deep in the DNA of Bell & Ross, the new BR03-92 MA-1 is all the proof you will ever need. Who else would take a historic piece of military gear and turn it into a watch? Bell & Ross would, and did. To understand the watch, however, […]

When MING unveiled their very first watch a couple of years ago, they started with the 17.01, a simple time-only, two-hand watch.

The 14-second burn of the thrusters on the Apollo 13, timed by the Speedmaster is a story that Omega has told perhaps one too many times. But looking at just how gorgeous the latest Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary is, we really didn’t mind them telling that same story one more time. So here […]
Somewhere around the middle of last year, MING offered up a small number of prototype dive watches they called the Abyss Concept. These watches were true concepts where the case and components were intended for research and development purposes. Well today, after taking in all they have learnt from this process, they finally introduce the […]
For quite a while, Breitling was the go-to brand when you wanted large, chunky watches, and perhaps a Navitimer. However, these days with new CEO Georges Kern at the helm, their watches have shrunk down to a more manageable size expanding their appeal to a wider market of watch enthusiasts.
