I have always thought that the Bulova Lunar Pilot is one of the most serious-looking watches around. Its functional aesthetic, unchanged since the days of NASA’s lunar missions in the 1970s, is matched by the reliable, robust, precise high-frequency quartz movement inside. In short, it is the prototype ‘tool watch’, […]
Tissot‘s history and range of products speak of an eclectic brand, capable of covering all areas of watchmaking with its collections, from sports chronographs to dress watches and divers’ watches. The latter category flourishes again in summer, as demonstrated by the new Seastar 38 mm chronograph recently presented. Tissot has […]
When I received the press kit for MB&F’s new SP One, I was reminded of something the brand’s founder, Maximilian Büsser, said during a chat we had last year. “Another idea that I will never change is to not be influenced by the market. I don’t think I have ever […]
On 13 May, Chanel organised an haute horlogerie event in Milan for the trade press. During the event, we journalists had the opportunity to meet with the President of Chanel Watches & Fine Jewellery, Frédéric Grangié, and the Director of the Studio de Création Horlogerie, Arnaud Chastaingt, for a roundtable […]
A few days ago, writing about Seiko, I mentioned how 2025 is a year of anniversaries in watchmaking, celebrated from Switzerland to Japan.

One of the many features that sets Patek Philippe apart is its ability to evolve and develop while staying true to its historical identity. This is no easy feat, particularly with regard to the Calatrava collection. For a collection that is universally recognised by enthusiasts as the pinnacle of classicism, […]
If the great 17th century French philosopher and writer François de La Rochefoucauld were alive today, he might well be wearing a Richard Mille watch. Perhaps the RM 75-01 Flying Tourbillon Sapphire, the brand’s latest model. After all, as he wrote in one of his most famous aphorisms, ‘The only […]
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” I am borrowing this phrase, which is attributed to Albert Einstein, because I think it would make the perfect tagline for the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer. This is the latest model from Nomos Glashütte, presented at the last Watches and Wonders show. With that, I […]
One of the most exciting trends among watch enthusiasts is collecting timepieces designed to military specifications for use by soldiers and elite units. Bulova’s Mil-Ships collection belongs to this exclusive and highly prized category. Having originally launched the collection in 2021, the company is now relaunching it in two new […]
Last week, Richard Mille launched the second watch created in collaboration with Ferrari: the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari. I was privileged to be invited to its unveiling during a major international event in Paris. The three-day event was full of top-level experiences, the highlight of which was undoubtedly […]
Blancpain occasionally updates its Fifty Fathoms collection to support environmental causes. This is when things get really serious. Proof of this is the recently unveiled Fifty Fathoms Tech BOC IV. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Blancpain is committed to setting a good example. In other words: I produce exquisite […]
As an avid reader of our pages, you will know that we wrote about the Patek Philippe Calatrava Alarm Travel Time in the Italian edition of Giornale degli Orologi. This is because we like the watch very much, and because we always find something new to say when Patek Philippe […]
