About a month ago, after writing on the Citizen Tsuno Chronograph Racer, the publicist I was borrowing the watch from for the article let me know they were the first to have the retail model of the Bulova Oceanographer Devil Diver in New York.

Tudor once again expanded its critically-acclaimed Black Bay collection at Baselworld 2018.

The Definitive Baselworld 2018 Round-Up

Baselworld 2018 may have been significantly smaller than in previous years, but the show certainly made up for it with an exceptional range of new watches, quite a lot of them with much more budget-friendly prices than in previous years (which still cannot be said for the bratwurst stand outside the fair). WatchTime’s editorial team...

BASELWORLD 2018:

A Hands-On Look at the Expansion of the Breguet Marine Collection

This year, Breguet decided to focus almost entirely on building out its Marine collection. There was, of course, the customary Reine de Naples addition, and two new ultra-thin Classique Extra-Plat models, one with a tourbillon and one without, but there’s no doubt that Breguet intends on making the Marine Collection its headliner for 2018. Joining...

Showing Skin: A New Vintage-Inspired Dive Watch from Longines

There should be no surprise that Longines released another attractive dive watch during Baselworld this year. After all, it was only a few years ago that the vintage-inspired Legend Diver captivated social media and the horological blogosphere as a whole. Going even further back, the HydroConquest has had a steady presence in the brand’s catalog...

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: Tissot Heritage Antimagnetique 2018

Tissot released the Heritage 1948 Chronograph to critical acclaim at last year's Baselworld, thus it was natural to expect a bold follow-up to be added to the brand's lineup this year. That follow-up turned out to be the Tissot Antimagnetique Heritage 2018, a new hand-wound piece based on the antimagnetic watches that Tissot produced in the 1930s and '40s.

Jaquet Droz Strips Down for its First-Ever Skeletonized Watch (with Macro Shots)

Jaquet Droz — a brand made famous by its eponym’s venture into automata production during the mid-to-late 1700s — isn’t one to follow a trend. That’s why the decision to release the brand’s first skeletonized watch was a surprise highlight for many of my colleagues and myself at this year’s Baselworld fair. Since its revival...

MeisterSinger Introduces its First Astronomical Watch

MeisterSinger is best known for producing watches that utilize a single hand to tell time. This, of course, lends itself to a more relaxing interpretation of the traditional way we read our watches. Rather than following a to the second — or minute, even — display, most MeisterSinger timepieces are read in five-minute increments. This...

Double Time: Sinn Introduces Two Vintage-Inspired Chronographs

Dressing up the Senator: Glashütte Original’s New Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar

At Baselworld this year, while the vintage-inspired and anniversary models by major brands are dominating the scene, some manufacturers are straying from what seems to have become the new orthodoxy in favor of watches based firmly in the 21st century.
