Monochrome Watches Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième Ivory Enamel

Jaquet Droz watches, it seems, are more popular in the Asian market (especially Hong Kong and China) than in Europe or the U.S., despite the intrinsic quality of the timepieces produced (thanks to the Swatch Group, owner of the brand) and their natural elegance. We’ve previously reviewed some JD on our Monochrome Watches blog (here and...

Sponsored: New Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches Pay Tribute to Astronomy at SIHH 2015

“Captivating” is a word that aptly describes the night sky over the Vallée de Joux, this secret hollow nestling in the Swiss Jura that gave birth to the Maison Jaeger-LeCoultre. Very few lights disturb its luminous beauty that remains imperturbably serene, softly enveloping those who take the time to observe it, accepting to reveal its...

Escapement Watch Review: H. Moser & Cie Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time

I was drawn to the unusual dial of the H. Moser & Cie Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time.

Nomos Glashütte releases its own “swing system.” The brand’s terminology refers to a new in-house escapement which features in its Bauhaus-influenced Metro watch.

What do you do when you pass by the new boutique of a beautiful watch brand? Of course, you ring the bell and wait until they open the door.

Fratello Friday: Comparing the Original and Modern Omega Seamaster Ploprof

I love a good, modern re-edition watch, but most of the time a lot of watch brands get it wrong — wrong case size, wrong movement (or at least not in the right “spirit” of the original movement), wrong hands, wrong printing, and so on. Sometimes it is just one of these things, but most...

Monochrome Watch Review: Armin Strom Racing Gravity

Identity is a brand’s main objective. Look at a Rolex and you’ll recognize it at first glance. Same goes for a Ferrari or a Louis Vuitton bag. Even though its introduction is recent (2006), Armin Strom has forged for itself such an identity, boasting a coherent collection with clearly defined design cues. The Armin Strom Racing...

The Charmex CX Swiss Military Watch That Broke a Scuba Diving Record

You have probably never heard of Charmex nor of Ahmed Gabr, but there are at least two reasons why both are worth knowing. In 2005, the Swiss watch company Charmex launched a massive dive watch capable of withstanding water pressures down to 12,000 feet. It was not only the most water-resistant (serially produced) mechanical dive...
