I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but there are times when I’ll see a press release for a new watch and swear to myself that it already exists, and some glitch in the Matrix has caused an old email to be re-sent to me as if it were new. In the case of the new …
One of the things I’ve most admired about Zenith over the past few years has been their ability to find balance between their heritage focused offerings, and their desire to push (sometimes within the same families) into unashamedly modern territory. Consider the Defy Revival A3642 released last year, and the Defy Extreme pictured in this …

Horage is an independent Swiss brand founded in 2007 and has already developed three in-house movements. There’s the K1 automatic in models like the Autark and Omnium, K2 micro-rotor in the new Supersede integrated sports watch and K-TOU tourbillon in its second watch, the Lensman 1.

Originally founded in 2002, Speake-Marin is celebrating 20 years of watchmaking this year and does so by presenting a special edition of its Ripples watch, aptly named the Ripples Anniversary Edition.

Zenith’s Defy Extreme is precisely that: an extreme version of the standard Defy model with a larger angular case and bolder design cues. By extension, you could say that contemporary artist Felipe Pantone also has a very fitting name since we all associate Pantone with the universal language of colour and his artworks and installations …

It will come as no surprise that Habring² is one of our favourite independent watchmakers, as this was the brand of choice for our first-ever MONOCHROME Montre de Souscription presented last year. And given the fact, there have been quite a few collaborations with Habring and others we’ve seen in the past few years, we’re …

In 2009, A. Lange & Söhne presented a watch that was a true game changer for the brand. Visually audacious, mechanically fascinating, a complete break from the usual codes of the manufacture, the Zeitwerk became one of the most emblematic models of ALS and a sort of UFO on the high-end watch scene. Combining traditional …
Robust, lightweight and thoroughly modern… but at an attainable level, that best describes the Titoni Seascoper 600 Carbotech Chronometer. The brand has a long tradition of producing relatively affordable watches, with a classical style like the Master Series, Airmaster or the Heritage collection. On the more sporty side of things, we find the Seascoper, Titoni’s …

Sailing in luxury sports watch waters is a devilishly tricky, competitive manoeuvre. Every last detail of an aspiring candidate is invariably compared to the forefather(s) and accusing fingers decry any hint of resemblance or likeness. When Girard-Perregaux reintroduced its Laureato collection in 2016, many indignant reactions and copycat accusations arose. However, the irony is that …
