Mille Miglia, the famous Italian endurance race, started in 1927 but suffered several interruptions (namely, World War II and cancellation after several fatal accidents). However, since 1987, the race from Brescia to Rome and back has been consistently organized annually in May. To be able to resume the race every year, they were looking for sponsors, and Chopard has been supporting Mille Miglia e

Have you ever fallen for someone who you thought wasn't right for you? I have. Her name is Pam. Panerai Radiomir PAM00210, to be a little more precise. I had a massive crush on her for the longest time. But she didn't fit my image of what suits my style and character. And, admittedly, I thought she would look ridiculous on my arm.Okay, I reckon I have milked that spiel dry by now. Let me cut to th

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Skeleton is nothing new in itself. The brand introduced the model in stainless steel and rose gold back in 2022. Those two versions presented a monochromatic aesthetic that was very much in line with the stainless steel Tonda PF Micro-Rotor. The brand mixes things up with a platinum case and and blue dial for this latest iteration. The result is the most technical-

It’s Sunday morning, so it’s time for another Sunday Morning Showdown! So make yourself a nice cup of coffee and let our writers make their cases before you get to decide which of the two watches is your favorite pick. This week, it’s the battle of the luxury travel watches. Jorg will make a case for the white gold Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time ref. 5164G. Mike will defend

Besides replacing straps when one is worn out, I am probably not the only one who think it is fun to switch straps once in a while to give a watch a different look.Ever tried to buy a strap for your watch from the original manufacturer? Ever found a tray of Omega straps at the Omega dealer or a tray of IWC straps at the IWC dealer? It is not easy to get accessoires like straps and buckles at your

Launched in 1992, Bell & Ross was founded by Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo. The first Bell & Ross models were very similar to those of Sinn Spezialuhren and officially, this collaboration lasted till 2002 (although Bell & Ross made their own models long before that year). Most people who started their interest in watches just recently, probably know the BR Instrument watches best.I

During the week, we get a lot of questions by e-mail about buying an Omega Speedmaster. We thought it was about time that we made an article that's basically an Omega Speedmaster Buyer's Guide. If you are already a Speedmaster collector, this might not be interesting to you, as I will cover some basic information as well. This is Part 2 of the Omega Speedmaster Buyer’s Guide, with a focus on

Vintage Heuer is about as hot as it gets right now and today’s news should come as rather exciting for fans of the brand.? People are clamoring for the early manual wind models right now and they are especially focused on the Heuer Autavia.? Well, today, we’re pleased to share a brief story behind the discovery and purchase of an extremely rare variant.? It defines fantastic and was lo

A few weeks ago, I received the Panerai PAM 615 (or?Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Chrono Flyback Automaic Titanio in full) for a hands-on review. This Panerai PAM615 as well as its brother with a titanium?bezel, the PAM 614, were introduced in Geneva earlier this year. I’ve had a couple of Panerai watches myself and we’ve done reviews on several models in the past, but it is the firs

Omega ConstellationYou probably know me best for being an avid Speedmaster fan and collector. But my passion for watches started actually with the Omega Constellation. I wrote about this in-depth when I did a write up on the Sedna gold version of the Omega Globemaster. Anyway, the Globemaster is part of the Constellation family. The Globemaster has a history with the old Constellation watches. In

The 4th recording of Fratello on Air, this time with Daniel Muller and Michael Stockton talking about several of their favourite watches and answering a listener’s question.In this episode 4, Michael talks with Daniel (as RJ was on holiday during the recording) about the Top 3 watches in their collections that get most wrist time, about Daniel joining Fratello and about his role (Head of Ope

If you are frequent on the Instagram watch scene, I'm sure you've already come across Pastiche Patches.To me, Pastiche Patches falls into the same category as @adpatina or @ctournierwatchdraw. They fill a void in the watch community, a void we never knew before. But when we see their products, we need to have them, even if we have no idea what we are going to do with them. I mean, we – grown

Welcome back to Wrist Game or Crying Shame where voting remotely has always been part of the new normal. This week we review a barely worn Sinn EZM 12 that needs rescuing. But first…In the case of LL Cool J, the opening line of “Mama Said Knock You Out” is one of hip hop’s most famous. “Don’t call it a comeback” spat the rapper because, as he mentioned, he

As a watch reviewer, it is quite common to find yourself experiencing Deja Vu. We cover thousands of watches throughout our careers. Most of these write-ups will be standalone pieces, focused on new releases or classic throwbacks that deserve attention. But every so often, you run into a watch that just won’t leave you alone. Luckily, for me at least, the Hamilton Field Khaki Murph is one of

Instead of the planned trip to Tokyo earlier this year to see the new Grand Seiko watches, we received two boxes (or more like suitcases) with Grand Seiko and Seiko watches. Most of it under embargo, of course…Despite Covid19 messing up our travel plans for 2020, the advantage is that we had a lot of time with these (and other) watches that made the trip to our office. One of the watches tha

The panda dial is without question one of the most iconic dial color configurations out there. But although slapping two black sub-registers on a white dial might make it a panda dial, it doesn’t necessarily make it a great one. One of the brands that perfectly understood that is Hamilton. The Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto Chrono is the perfect example of a panda dial done very well. I got the o

…this might be a?solution. This blue dialed Seiko 6139-6002 is one elegant chronograph that’s smart and casual. And you need one. ?It's hard to believe that it has been five years since Mike reviewed his blindingly yellow treasure, the Seiko 6139 Pogue. Why are we writing about the same reference again? It's pretty simple. There are watches that aren't worth writing any articles about

Oris has slowly but surely been equipping more of its watches with movements from the in-house Calibre 400 series. Earlier this year, we did see the bronze Divers Sixty-Five Carl Brashear that featured the Calibre 401 and a small seconds sub-dial. Now, the time has come for Oris to release the first Divers Sixty-Five with the standard Calibre 400. It comes in the shape of a khaki dialed, 38mm limi

Roll up, roll up! The summer has hit The Hague and Fratello is keen to celebrate. After the fizzing success of March Mania, we are back with the Summer Splash. A new knock-out competition conceived to find the very best summer watch out there, according to YOU, the Fratelli. And guess what? You can win prizes! No, there won’t be a watch available this time but there WILL be some of the fines
