Stowa is the sort of brand that has been around for a while but remains conservatively low-key. “Conservative” may be the keyword, as the description applies to the brand’s design, execution, pricing, and marketing (or lack thereof). Stowa is a German company that makes watches, full stop. For those chasing the hype high, Stowa may forever remain off the radar. But the brand is r

It was foreseeable that Parmigiani would extend its Tonda PF line this year. After its launch in September 2021, this new watch family garnered a remarkable amount of attention. Through the Tonda PF, Parmigiani finally has earned the appreciation it deserves. Now, the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante shall take the same path. Accordingly, the expectations are high. And you know what? You won’t be di

Nope, no Reverso to be seen at Watches & Wonders this year. Jaeger-LeCoultre made things complicated for 2022 by presenting a variety of round-cased watches. At the top of the list, there's the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948. Just below it, you will find the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945 Galaxia in pink gold and the Atomium version in white gold. And last, but certainly not least, t

Welcome to an entirely different side of Grand Seiko. We’ve seen some rather exotic limited edition models over the past several years, but the Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon has to be the most audacious. This watch is really something, but sadly it is for those with incredibly deep pockets. Still, it’s fun to dream!The Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon comes to us at Watches

Tell me, are you an avid user of dark mode on your electronic devices? Personally, I set my devices so that they change from light to dark mode automatically based on the sunrise and sunset. And you're just like me, you must be very happy that Piaget has just given you the option to do the same with your Altiplano Ultimate Concept (AUC). Whereas the previous two versions were both light-silver-col

Since its rebirth last year, the PRX Collection has been the pinnacle of the Tissot catalog. And quite rightly so. The PRX was a breath of fresh air for Tissot and brought a whole host of new enthusiasts into the Tissot fold as a result. Now, in order to further explore the possibilities of the PRX’s potential, the brand has introduced two new novelties into the family - two versions of the

Every now and then, it feels like the stars align for a brand. A recent model becomes hugely popular due to its brilliant design, and the brand follows up with a confident next step. Everything comes together and results in perfection. This is exactly how the new Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT feels. The watch represents a maturation of the brand's Spirit line and an exciting step in the right dire

The Breitling Premier debuted 80?years ago as the flagship line for the brand. A fascinating variety of models were produced over several decades. In 2018, the Premier line returned with top-of-the-line models, and Breitling continues to introduce beautiful new variants each year. In this article, we take a look at the history of the Premier along with some of the most enchanting models.As a junio

It's a good thing we stuck around after the Panerai touch-and-feel session at Watches and Wonders! While we were packing our stuff, we couldn't help but notice frantic activity behind a curtain at the back of the booth. We couldn't curb our curiosity and took a peek. We got rewarded with a photo shoot in progress and a watch we didn't get to see during the presentation. What we saw was not the Lum

Last week, I introduced the new Mido Ocean Star GMT Special Edition to you. It’s a relatively affordable vintage-inspired watch with a blue dial and flyer GMT movement inside. I also told you that I was quite excited about it because of its attractive design, modest proportions, and price. However, my opinion was entirely based on press images and a sugar-coated cover story that was provided

The rigors of everyday life can wreak havoc on your skin. Your hands and wrists in particular have to withstand multiple sessions in which you wash and sanitize them. Most often, the result is irritated and cracked skin that can become extremely dry. And it shows - in your Instagram posts, for instance. Independent research shows us that 89% percent of watch fans who post wrist shots on Instagram

Introducing a brand that has existed for six years might make us seem a bit late to the party. Then again, talking about a brand’s history while it has only existed for six years might seem premature. Nevertheless, having written about several Robot models since 2021, we thought it was time to shine some light on the brand and company itself rather than on the watches. So I sat down with Boh

The reality is that there are loads of choices for watches under the magic $1,000 threshold. Choosing the so-called “best” watches, however, is a challenge. It all depends on whether the watch will supplement a collection as a daily beater or perhaps be the first nicer watch for the buyer. I’ve chosen three very different models with unique use cases, but all are well-designed wa

Since 2021, Nomos has been steadily expanding its Club Sport Neomatik collection. The first reference was the 42mm Date, which came on a new three-row bracelet. Each year since then, a new size has joined the brand’s sportier collection. You can now choose between the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik in 34, 37, 39, and 42mm sizes. Each model comes with a distinctive sunburst dial in a size-specific

Audemars Piguet is famous for using ceramics in its Royal Oak line. Some of the many highlights include the ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar and Double Balance Wheel Openworked models. When it comes to specific colors, the first two that come to mind are the black and electric-blue shades that most of you will know. But you will soon add another color to that list. With the introduction of a t

For a long time, Zenith kept us guessing about what its celebratory 160th-anniversary release would be. But if you know something about Zenith, the social media posts hinted at something special related to the brand’s rich history in observatory chronometer competitions. With the release of the Zenith G.F.J., the watchmaker from Le Locle brings its legendary caliber 135 back to life. Zenith

Two years ago, IWC introduced the new iteration of the Ingenieur as a capsule collection. Three steel and one Grade 5 titanium creation debuted, resembling the 1976 Ingenieur SL ref. 1832, an original Gerald Genta design. A blue-dial version was missing from the original lineup, but it came eventually. For this year's Watches and Wonders, IWC presents a plethora of new Ingenieur watches. Get ready

In a surprise twist, Tudor goes bigger and bolder in 2025. A completely new introduction at this year’s Watches and Wonders is the 43mm Tudor Black Bay 68. This addition to the brand’s extensive Black Bay lineup gets its name from the year that Tudor came up with the famous Snowflake hand. The brand introduces two different versions in “Tudor blue” and silver, each with a m
