Hublot And Berluti Take Aim At The Big Bang Unico Chronograph

In the four years that Hublot and Berluti are working together, has this powerful collaboration resulted in quite a few emblematic creations. These models had two things in common; they all featured the exquisite Venezia leather that Berluti is known for and used a Classic Fusion as a base model. That changes today as Hublot and Berluti introduce the Big Bang Unico Berluti Cold Brown. READ MORE

Bovet And Piaget Win Big At GPHG

This year’s edition of the GPHG, the Oscars of the watch world, was quite different than the years before. What is usually a phenomenal black-tie event was now heavily scaled down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The event could be followed online by watch enthusiasts and industry insiders around the globe, who saw a few surprising, and a few not so surprising winners. READ MORE

Patek Philippe Ref. 6301P Grande Sonnerie; The Chime Is Right

Perfection often looks simple, but it rarely is. This is also the case with the new Patek Philippe Ref. 6301P Grande Sonnerie. The watch is generously sized, measuring 44.8 mm in diameter, yet rather restraint in its design. Close observation will learn that it is rich in detail, as the platinum case has a subtle concave bezel and stunning countersunk flanks. The black dial is also a thing of beauty, as it is made from Grand Feu enamel, fitted with gold Breguet numerals. Interesting is that the traditional gold leaf-shaped hands feature a luminescent coating. It is a subtle detail, but it gives this classic watch a slight contemporary edge while making it more practical as well. READ MORE

Zenith And Its Carbon Cool Defy Classic

Carbon is a material that has got increasingly more traction in the watch world, especially in recent years. While it is still not a common material, in part due to its specific production process, it offers significant advantages and adds a very distinct look to a watch. This is also the case with the recently introduced Defy Classic Carbon. One of the reasons that Zenith took this step was the lightness of carbon fiber. The Defy Classic Carbon, with an integrated carbon fiber bracelet, weighs a mere 65 grams. This is already half the weight of the same Defy made from titanium, another material known for being relatively light. READ MORE

Watch of the Week: Santos de Cartier Chronograph

The Santos de Cartier Chronograph can best be described as dynamic elegance. Its sense of refinement comes from the iconic case and its distinct bezel, which now extends to where the bracelet or strap begins, one of the hallmarks of the in 2018 redesigned collection. While it maintains the recognizable profile of the Santos, it also provides it with a fresh look. The chronograph version is visually more dynamic than its time-only sibling. This is in part due to the subdials, which Cartier spaced out perfectly. The dial features the signature Roman numerals, along with a partial railroad track along the outer perimeter, marking the hours and minutes. READ MORE

Louis Vuitton Introduces Hot New Tambour Damier Graphite Race

The Damier pattern is synonymous with Louis Vuitton. It was the man himself who designed this checkered pattern, which already decorated the trunks and suitcases the company made in the late 1800s. It most certainly stood the test of time, as it is today not only still in production but also in high demand as one of Louis Vuitton’s signature patterns. It is also the source of inspiration for two new Tambour watches that come with a sportive twist. READ MORE
