Today, we’ll present you with the TAG Heuer Super Professional.? But first…Well, you all have a real penchant for watches named “Submariner” and that rang true with last week’s Tudo

I can think of very few brands bursting onto the scene that made a swish in recently years, let alone one that landed with a bang. Singer Reimagined is one that has appeared on my radar since day one, loud and clear. An independent brand acclaimed for its 2018 GPHG award-winning Track1 chronograph, it hit Planet Horology like a red hot shooting star.Founded in 2016, Singer Reimagined made a mark w

While it often seems like everything has been done in the watch industry ad nauseam, there are certain strategies and concepts that receive less airtime than others. Whether new approaches - often termed as “disruptive” - are more effective than beating the same paper-thin drum that has been drummed to death over the past century is hard to quantify, but they do present an opportunity

Typically, I bring a specific theme to Pre-Owned Picks to focus my choices to a brand, era or watch type. A theme can be a healthy challenge that uncovers some interesting watch listings that would otherwise pass me by. Luckily, the search and favorites functions of Chrono24 make sifting through the vast library an absolute breeze. Even after a year of covering Pre-Owned Picks, many watches fell o

The Farer Maze GMT amazes and amuses me. Really, I haven't worn such a playful and imaginative watch for quite some time. And that’s in spite of the fact I am not a huge fan of its case shape. But the Farer Maze rocks on so many levels. Let's dig into it. When I?put on a divers watch, I?dont feel like I?have to go diving immediately. I?don't even think of water. The moment I?put the Farer Ma

The recently introduced Airain Type 20 Re-Edition faithfully matches the design and specifications of the original 1950's Type 20. That even includes a hand-wound, two-register, column-wheel chronograph with flyback function. Plus the remarkable countdown bezel and a domed Hesalite crystal.Type 20 chronographs are post-WWII aeronautical instruments, made to French government requirements. TheyR

It's time for a good, old-fashioned shootout! You might have noticed already that this week the pre-quarterfinal shootout for The Fast And The Fratelli began, with Lex and Ben, RJ and Thor, and Brandon and Rob battling it out. This is the stage where the voting really counts. It will decide who drops out of the competition, and who comes one step closer to taking first place. Today, it's Sinn vers

If you know what ion plating is already, then high five to you! For those of you who don’t, you’ve more than likely come across it before without realizing it. Ion plating is one of these terms used to describe coatings applied to watch cases and bracelets. Sadly, there seems to be a lot of misinformation about it, and sometimes the different terms get used interchangeably. So, what ex

We like to talk about vintage watches a lot within the Fratello team. Though most of what we write about is primarily focused on the most recent releases and developments, for many of us, a lot of the fun can be found in the sometimes weird and often wonderful world of vintage watches. It’s a world full of history, remarkable watches, incredible stories, and quirky details. It inspired us to

Against a backdrop of ringing cowbells, Longines billboards, and soaring peaks, Canada's Jack Crawford takes up his position at the starting gate. He is only moments from dropping into the downhill course at Lake Louise, where he will plunge 800 meters, approaching speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Months of pre-season training led up to this moment, and in a minute and a half, it will all

It’s no secret that we’re falling back in love with dress watches here at Fratello lately. Maybe it’s because we’re getting tired of the constant barrage of new tool watches, or maybe it’s simply because the holiday season and occasions to dress up are quickly approaching. Regardless, dress watches are on our minds these days, so why not organize a battle between two

Sometimes I go into a review without any specific expectations. When the RZE Resolute Pro Jet Black Enamel first landed on my desk, I was pleasantly surprised by its intense black dial. It’s an immediate attention-grabber that creates an awesome level of intrigue and gives RZE’s modern field watch an instant boost in style. So I quickly found myself wearing the Resolute Pro and realize

The day before its launch, I briefly met the latest Avenger in a restaurant on the outskirts of Amsterdam. A storm had struck, and inside the restaurant, one could hear the wind becoming louder and louder as raindrops kept bombarding the windows. The new Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 looked completely calm and collected. Unshakable self-confidence is what you want in a superhero and a Breit

Stockholm-based IFL Watches has been knocking out one customized release after another. The company’s watches contain dials that are painted by hand, a process that takes time and demands great respect. For its newest releases, IFL Watches brings the Oris bear back to the dials of two special versions of the Oris Diver Sixty-Five “Cotton Candy.” The Oris Divers 65 Boogeyman celeb

The modern watch world is dominated by a handful of brand groups. Think of Swatch Group, Richemont, LVMH, and the like. Whether you are shopping for a watch from Hamilton, A. Lange & Sohne, TAG Heuer, or Breguet, each of these brands is part of a group. As a casual watch buyer, you will probably not even notice. But if you look a little bit closer, can you see the effect of this huddling toget

The sports watch is one of the woolliest of watch categories. A dive watch has a set of ISO standards to conform to. A dress watch has a list of characteristics that should be displayed, even if one person might read those requirements more strictly than another. A pilot’s watch has legibility at its core. The sports watch accounts for a significant market segment yet seems to be defined bes

The Expedition from Boldr is the brand’s self-styled “daily beater.” It has the dial of a field watch inside a dual-crown case with an internal timing bezel. The Expedition II saw a more angular case but with a similar dial layout. The Enigmath update to the series is more than just a new colorway. It brings a new dial style and additional functionality with a slide rule bezel.Of

Our Fratelli Stories series shares some of the wonderful and interesting backstories of our readers around the world. Today, we speak with Robert Eames, who is an enthusiast for all sorts of watches and has a fascinating backstory. One vintage Seiko has particular resonance with him.Fratello reader Robert Eames wrote in after a story we published on the Seiko 5 that I took with me to Asia. Thanks

At Watches and Wonders 2023, Cartier introduced the new Tank Americaine. It excited me because I had tried on an older Tank Americaine a few months before at a get-together. It was a gold version with a date and a guilloche dial, and it unexpectedly charmed me. I assumed the Tank Americaine would be too elegant and delicate for my wrist, but I liked it a lot because it’s so different from ma

For the No.1 watch portal of the world – WatchUseek –? I just uploaded an article about the Meridian Antiqua 2010 chronograph from Leinfelder in Munich. An elegantly sleek looking timepiece with exceptional shaped pushers and a fly-back chronograph function.
