Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillon
Written by admin on March 3, 2010 – 6:14 am -Exactly three years after the original Twin Rotating Tourbillon’s launch, Breguet offers a follow-up to the highly sought-after model featuring a pair of tourbillons on its silvered dial. This time, the watch comes in a case made of rose gold instead of platinum, but it still retails at a price of a Bentley limmo. Just like the original model, the Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillon watch features a hand-wound mechanical movement with a pair of tourbillons traveling around its dial. Coupled by a differential gear, the little turbines balance each other, doubling the watch’s accuracy. The tourbillons rotate at a speed of one revolution per 12 hours so that their connecting bridge can act as an hour hand. It... more

La Grande Classique de Longines
Written by admin on January 20, 2010 – 11:18 am -La Grande Classique de Longines – confirming an enduring tradition Capturing the soul and the style of Longines’ earliest design tradition, La Grande Classique de Longines watches have until today largely retained their original appearance and proportions. Changing expectations and technical advances have now prompted Longines to update their design, not least by introducing a larger case size and offering an even broader choice of subtly refined dial faces. But the slim, sleek La Grande Classique de Longines case profile remains unchanged, as does the cool elegance that gives this collection an appeal as enduring as the classic tradition itself. L4.191.7.11.6 Collection La Grande Classique de Longines Case: Ultra-slim, round, in 18 carat... more

IWC Wins Readers’ Choice Award for Best Watch Line
Written by admin on January 7, 2010 – 1:20 am -By Ariel Adams With a deep connection to functionally themed luxury sport watches, IWC rejects an approach to watch making that focuses on form over function. In recent years according to one poll, IWC, has risen to be considered the top luxury watch brand among wealthy Americans. Frequently sighted on the wrists of athletes to actors and bankers, the wide adoption of IWC watches proves that watch lovers want timepieces with utilitarian roots. IWC watches are split between two major styles, with activity themed offerings such as Pilot or Aquatimer diving watches, and classic "thinking person" styles such as the mega popular Portuguese or Ingeniuer timepieces. Equally proficient in steel or gold, IWC is also known to offers excellently finished... more

Longines Sports Legends Watches
Written by admin on December 19, 2009 – 4:48 am -Sports Legends: Timepieces that have gone down in history thanks to their performance The Sports Legends line includes contemporary versions or updated models of exceptional watches that Longines has produced over the years. The link between the brand and the world of aviation, then in the first flush of development, led to the creation of watches that have since become legendary, such as the famous Lindbergh Hour Angle watch, based on a design by the American aviator Charles Lindbergh, who was the first man to fly non-stop across the North Atlantic, namely in his aircraft the Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage watch, created specially for the long trip Lindbergh made with his wife around the coast of the North Atlantic (47,000... more

Written by admin on December 16, 2009 – 5:41 pm -One of the highlights of this year’s Baselworld 2009 was the introduction of Harry Winston’s Opus 9 wristwatch, a quantum leap in haute horology that began with the release of the original Opus 1 in 2001.

Astronauts wear Omega on the moon
Written by admin on December 6, 2009 – 3:25 am -How to tell one astronaut from another Buzz Aldrin may have been only the second man to walk on the moon, but he was the first to wear a watch on its surface. In 1962 NASA visited a jewelry shop in Houston, bought some timepieces, and subjected them to what agency historians describe as ‘exhaustive tests aimed at determining performance reliability in the conditions likely to be experienced during EVA’. That acronym stands for ‘extravehicular activity’, which means moon walking, which means temperatures ranging from -250 to +250ºF. The agency also exposed the watches to ‘accelerations of 12gs’ and the violent shaking of a ‘vibration table’. The only one to survive was the Omega Speedmaster. Despite congressional pressure to... more

Breitling Superocean Heritage
Written by admin on November 9, 2009 – 7:03 pm -The Breitling Superocean line has been around for a while. Over 50 years in fact, in various iterations. However, most of the recent models have been a bit boring for my tastes. Yes, they make excellent diving watches, but I need a little more style on my wrist. Well, I was quite delighted to see Breitling's Superocean Heritage line released. The watches look great, with clean classic lines that are as functional as they are symmetric. Best of all, don't confuse the "Heritage" nominer as any indication that these watches are not modern in everyday. The only thing "old" about these watches is the minimalist look of the face, and the optional metal bracelet. The are done in a retro style, but in terms of function and a size, there are modern... more

Vintage Watches: Aged to Perfection
Written by admin on October 29, 2009 – 6:41 pm -What you should know about buying vintage If you want a timepiece with stand-out style—or just one that no one else can get—think vintage. But in watchspeak, vintage means more than just cool-looking or rare. Edward Faber, owner of New York vintage retailer Aaron Faber Gallery, uses the term to define collectible watches made between 1935 (roughly when Swiss technological improvements like shockproofing were invented) and 1985 (when CAD/CAM, a computer system that factored out the watchmaker’s hand, became the manufacturing standard). Whether you’re buying a $500 Hamilton or a $50,000 Patek Philippe, you’re making an investment—one that could pay off significantly over time. Here, Edward Faber, owner of New York vintage retailer... more
