Bezel

Learn all about bezel settings in the world’s most luxurious watches, including this gorgeous Graham Silverstone Tourbillograph. The new Silverstone Tourbillograph is downright classic – even though it is still unconventional compared to many other brands. The claw-like arch of the upper bridge, coated in a black varnish for a grey effect, is a unique touch. The tourbillon cage is made of durable ruthenium, a platinum-group metal, and fully open on the dial. The elegant finishes place it in the dress-watch category, including snailed subdials and a nice Clous de Paris pattern on the bezel and pushers. Aside from that, READ MORE

One of the key insights achieved by Forestier’s research team is that there is a quantifiable relationship between the volume, weight, READ MORE
