Richard Mille RM 53-02 Tourbillon Sapphire: How A Dash Of Transparency Makes Even A Great Watch Better

Richard Mille is not a brand that lacks impressive watches in its line-up. In fact, it is hard to pick a highlight out of such an imposing collection. However, when pressed, the RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough comes to mind, with its unique movement, suspended by tiny metal cables. It was introduced in 2018 and one of the highlights of that year’s edition of the SIHH. But as a brand that likes to push the envelope just a little bit further, Mille now introduces an even more incredible version of this watch, the RM 53-02 Tourbillon Sapphire. READ MORE

IWC Conquers The Skies With New Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “SFTI”

Jaeger-LeCoultre Presents “Atelier d’Antoine” Highlighting The Importance Of Interaction

A watch is often an object of true beauty by itself, but its appreciation will only increase when you know more about the brand, its history, and how the watch is made. In the last few decades, brands are trying to educate the public more about their history. They often do this not in direct connection with the launch of a new watch but simply to showcase their rich heritage. Doing so is also a challenge by itself, as many brands were founded over a century ago and didn’t exactly sit still, meaning that there is a lot to share. Visiting a manufacture is another way of getting a much deeper understanding of a brand and what makes them unique. Until recently, this was a privilege often only extended to VIP clients and journalists, but not anymore. READ MORE

Hermès Is Launching Exclusive US Limited Edition Of The Arceau L’heure de la lune

Hermès Is Launching Exclusive US Limited Edition Of The Arceau L’heure de la lune

The Arceau is one of Hermès’ emblematic designs created by the brand’s legendary artistic director Henri d’Origny in 1978. Its stirrup-based design always has a certain elegance to it, which is doesn’t lose when the watch’s diameter is increasing. This was, in particular, proven by the Arceau L’heure de la lune, a watch that Hermès launched at the SIHH in 2019. As it measures 43mm in diameter, is this quite a large watch by Hermès standards, yet its attraction is just the same. READ MORE

TAG Heuer Monaco; The Icon That Keeps Getting Beter

TAG Heuer Monaco; The Icon That Keeps Getting Beter

With its square case is the TAG Heuer Monaco an instantly recognizable icon. When introduced in 1969, it was the first automatic chronograph that featured a water-resistant form shaped case. The rest is history, but not for TAG Heuer. They continued to develop the Monaco further. While this can be very rewarding, it also comes with significant risks. When a watch reaches an icon’s status, people usually like it the way it is and often oppose more radical changes. TAG Heuer walked this thin line seemingly effortlessly. Their developments made the Monaco slowly but surely evolve, introducing new colors and designs, even better fit and finish, but never went too far away from what made the watch such a success in the first place.
