The Passion For Watches Of Diego Maradona

A true legend has left us this week, as Diego Maradona passed away from heart failure. When the question is raised who was the greatest soccer player in the world, Pelé and Maradona are usually named. The two were close friends who openly admired each other. Maradona effectively utilized his small stature with his unsurpassed ball control and passing and dribbling skills on the field. This made it possible to make a goal after a 60-yard dribble, passing five England players in the 1986 Word Cup quarter-final. In 2002 this moment was voted ‘Goal of the Century’ at FIFA.com. Maradona and his team won that year the World Cup. READ MORE

MB&F Turns HM4 Thunderbolt Prototype Into Piece Unique

In 2010, MB&F launched the HM4 Thunderbolt. This aviation-inspired watch was even among the rest of the collection of the brand an eyecatcher.

Its construction, of both the case and the movement, was complex, even by MB&F standards. Only 100 were made, the last one being delivered to a collector years ago. To commemorate its 10th anniversary did MB&F turn the original prototype of the HM4 Thunderbolt into a piece unique. READ MORE

In 1946, the brand made its first tourbillon, then still in a pocket watch, but from 1993 it was also introduced in a wristwatch. While Jaeger-LeCoultre loves to innovate, as they did, in 2004, by making the Gyrotourbillon 1, the world’s first spherical, dual-axis tourbillon, they never forget the traditional tourbillon either.

The Magic Of Owning A Celebrity’s Wristwatch

Owning a rare watch of exquisite quality is one of life’s true pleasures. Most of these watches have been made by brands with a history spanning decades, if not centuries. This gives it quite a bit of pedigree, but if the previous owner of such a watch was also a well-known celebrity, its appeal increases on all levels. READ MORE

Grand Seiko Commemorates The Achievements Of Its Founder With Two Special Watches

This year, it was 160 years ago that the founder of (Grand) Seiko was born in central Tokyo. Kintaro Hattori was a visionary who recognized that Japan’s rapid modernization and its increasingly outward focus to the rest of the world was an opportune time to found a company of his own. He did so in 1881, at the age of 21, focussing initially on importing timepieces, but later would start producing them himself. With this, he laid the foundation for one of the most formidable brands in watchmaking. READ MORE
