NEWS: The results from Russell Crowe's auction, including a surprisingly expensive Speedmaster

Felix Scholz
Last night, the provocatively titled Russell Crowe: The Art of Divorce auction took place in Sydney, an event which was, essentially, a rather high-brow garage sale. Unsurprisingly, it was the lots relating to his Oscar-winning role in Gladiator that saw the strong returns, a breastplate netting $152,500, an aluminium sword $85,40.................. 08.04.18 More

HANDS-ON: Titanium case and a new style dial the Breguet Marine 5517

Friday Wind-down: 8 April, 2016

Felix Scholz
If I'm honest, the Wind Down this week is a bit of a let down. Not because it's been a slow news week, watch-wise if anything the opposite is true. No, I'm feeling a bit down because I'm alone in the office today, as having a Friday arvo drink on your own is less this and more, well, Morrissey. Not ideal.

Visit Reverso: Timeless Stories Since 1931 at JLC Sydney Boutique

Many watch enthusiasts believe that the terms “icon” is overused by watch media. Fair play.
