Citizen has released a new ethical watch series in its sustainable-concept women's collection, Citizen L. The Ambiluna EM100 boasts light-powered Eco-Drive technology, lab-grown ethical diamonds, and knitted fabric straps made of recycled ECOPET material. The three new EM100 models take inspiration for their design themes from the universal elements of Air, Earth, and Fire. The Fire model is a lim

Thus far, we've seen only one Speedmaster introduction in 2023, the Super Racing model with Omega's Spirate technology. This watch is finally making its way to customers’ wrists, and we're curious to see how owners will experience the improved accuracy of this chronograph. We’re also incredibly interested to see what Omega watches will receive this new technology next.Omega Speedmaster

When I first laid my eyes on the new Oris Collective Horology Divers “Seventy-Five,” I was pleasantly surprised to see a look that Oris said goodbye to a while ago. The Oris Divers Sixty-Five with the retro numerals returns in this collaborative effort as the cleverly named Divers “Seventy-Five.” This 250-piece limited edition is the result of a collaboration with Collectiv

After a three-week hiatus, Fratello On Air is back with a new episode. This week, we’re talking about our collections, what we are currently wearing, and what’s on our radar. As always, it’s a recording with plenty of diverse topics. We invite you to kick back and enjoy the show.

I have had the idea for this article at least as long as I’ve known Nico Henke, a German-based collector who we can rightly call an expert on all things related to Enicar chronographs. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and, with Nico’s help, explore the phenomenal line of Enicar Sherpa Graph watches.Maybe you know Nico too, but you just don’t know it’s him. He is known

The Ebel 1911 Globe you see here is one of the most divisive watches we’ve had in the office lately. Only Robert-Jan and I like this glorious piece of late-1980s design brilliance, so it won’t surprise you that I volunteered to review the watch. Besides the fact that I like the flashy presence, it awakens vivid childhood memories from the ’90s with a little sprinkle of Miami-them

Seven years ago, Breguet introduced the flagship model of its Marine collection, the Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887. Two versions debuted in 2017 - one in 18K rose gold with a silver dial and the other in platinum with a blue dial. In 2020, another rose gold version joined the Marine collection, this time, with a brown dial. My colleague Jorg wrote an in-depth review of that watch.Breguet Mari

The new Ulysse Nardin Diver Net Vendee Globe celebrates one of the most taxing sailing races. It’s also the most sustainable watch yet from the Swiss brand. Let’s take a closer look at this sporty and colorful diver.Ulysse Nardin is no stranger to supporting lengthy, challenging races. The Gumball 3000 comes to mind in the automotive world, but the company is also involved with sailing

Let's start with a quote from the introduction article I wrote on the Nomos Tangente 2date. Here goes: if you wear this new Tangente on a first date, the chances you will land a second date are practically zero if the other person is into watches and a frequent contributor to the ‘date or no date’ debate online. Well, I was wrong because I went on a second date with the Tangente 2date

Hello, and welcome to this week’s episode of?Fratello Talks. Today, we’re bringing back the fan-favorite topic of affordable watches. Nacho, Lex, and Daan picked one favorite under $1,000 from each of their collections. Our first time highlighting affordable favorites, we ended up with three divers - two from Seiko and one from Citizen. Today’s selection is a bit more varied and

For my friends over at WatchUseek, I wrote an article on Tissot’s Veloci-T Automatic Chronograph. A very impressive timepiece which retails for $895 at your local Tissot dealer.If you are looking for a nice mechanical timepiece below the magic $1000 USD price, this Tissot sports watch is definitely worth checking out. I really love the small peek hole to enable the owner to look at the mecha

The 1815 was my first high-end piece, acquired back in 2003. I still remember the sleepless nights and moments of indecision during the course of the decision process. Several other pieces were also in contention: the JLC Master Geographic; the Chopard 1.98; one of the Patek Calatravas; the AP Jules Audemars Automatic.All images in this article can be clicked on for larger versionsSo why did I go

At the same time of the start of the SalonQP 2012 event in London, Fratellowatches introduces a new brand that will be shown for the first time to the public at SalonQP. Our own watch photographer Bert Buijsrogge recently visited Meridian in England to give you the full story on this new brand in case you couldn’t make it to SalonQP in London.Just a couple of weeks ago we received a phone ca

Speedmaster Alaska ProjectThe project name Alaska has little to do with the state, besides its name. Omega used code words for a lot of their projects. This was done not to wake-up other watch companies. You should know that the watchmaking community is not that big, people go to the same bars and restaurants and might overhear certain ‘confidential’ stuff. Especially in the 1960s?when

Back for their sixth Geneva watch auction season, Aurel Bacs & Livia Russo in association with Phillips auction house are on a pretty impressive winning streak. They are returning from a world-record shattering result (for a wristwatch) of $17.8 million when they sold THE Paul Newman Paul Newman Daytona in New York at the end of October. I specify wristwatch as to not offend Patek Phillipe's

Today on #TBT we'll talk about a unique chronograph in the Excelsior Park Monte Carlo. As you'll come to see, the watch is more than the sum of its parts. That's a notable statement because this EP is truly a watch made of parts; think of it as the physical result of the old adage, when life you gives you lemons, make lemonade. Except in this case, the lemonade was created due to leftover lemons f

We attended the GPHG 2019, the gathering of who’s who in the watch industry in Geneva last night.As we get closer to the end of the year, the watch industry is also slowly starting to prepare for the quiet(er) winter months. Aside from a few events like Dubai Watch Week and some other local smaller events, not much will happen. Usually, right after the new year starts, we'd set sail for cold

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (F.A.Z.) is one of the must-reads for each stockbroker in Germany's finance capital at the start of the day. They already cooperated before with Sinn watches, who are also located in Frankfurt.Therefore it was a logical step to dignify the 70th anniversary of the newspaper with a special edition watch from Sinn. At the Watchtime event in Dusseldorf, I had the cha

Millennials might associate the Day-Date with fictive characters like Tony Soprano, but there’s much more to this watch, of course. The Day-Date is the watch worn by Presidents, captains of industry, people from the entertainment industry, and all those who appreciate a timeless watch in precious metal.My first encounter with the Day-Date was relatively late. In the small village where I

Welcome to Group F of the Speedmaster World Cup. In the absence of Euro 2020, we thought our beloved readers might enjoy a tournament of a different kind. We've assembled eight groups (ACH), each governed by a different Fratello team member. Each writer has been assigned four watches, which they will pitch to you during the group stages.All we need you to do is vote for your favorite to move on in
