Occasionally, a watch brand releases a new model that is exactly what you were hoping for. I am not referring to getting the call from your authorized dealer about the allocation you have been waiting for, nor am I talking about obtaining your current grail watch. Somewhere, each of us has an idea for a […]

When one starts to dwell in the weird and wonderful world of vintage chronographs, there are quite a few iconic models that pop up almost instantly. The Zenith 143-6 Yugoslavian Air Force is one of those pieces. As someone who holds Angelus and its similar-looking pieces near and dear to my heart, this watch instantly […]

Today, we bring you news of the Brellum Pilot GMT LE.3 Chronometer. It’s a chronograph in a popular color with an equally popular complication. As is the case with many of the brand’s watches, this piece is limited to a very small number. Perhaps you’ll decide to be one of the few owners after we […]

A few months ago, it finally happened: I got “the call” from my Rolex dealer that I could pick up one of the store’s very last Rolex Daytona 116500LN models with a white dial. By the way, while we’re on the subject of the dial, what is up with everyone referring to this model as […]

In the ever-expanding universe of available timepieces, I find that not many watches immediately stand out to me. Three watches that did, however, were the new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik 39 models. The immediate eyecatchers here are the dials. With two brown sunburst options in the trio, Nomos introduces a color that we don’t see […]

There’s little doubt in my mind that the Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz 17000 will always be an exception. After all, it’s a Rolex that ticks. Much like the rules of reading or arithmetic, we are taught that a Rolex simply doesn’t tick. These days, though, the Oysterquartz is all the rage perhaps because of its rebellious […]

Today, we take a closer look at the Ollech & Wajs OW M-110 AS, a tactical watch with a surprising level of detail. This is my first time going hands-on with a watch from O&W, and I’m excited. I’ve admired the brand’s watches from afar, but a chance run-in along with a clumsy move led […]

Yesterday in Amsterdam, a curious clash of gastronomy and horology took place. Watch enthusiasts and those who love haute cuisine gathered in a single space. And as eclectic a combination as this may seem, learning more about the new Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Edition Caron might add a bit of sense to the equation. With […]

One of the first things to notice about this incredibly complex watch is its size. Upon reading the specifications, you’ll find that it only measures 39.5mm in diameter and 12.2mm in height. And what’s so special about that, you may ask? Well, today, plenty of simple three-handers on the market consume more space. But this […]

The new Longines Spirit Flyback Titanium is a really attractive watch. It shows how Longines, with each release, is becoming more of a force to be reckoned with. As prices from Omega and others have moved upmarket, Longines is seemingly positioned to take on the likes of Tudor, and the brand has started bringing the […]
