Our favourite Tissot watches of 2024 | LIST
Buffy Acacia
Generally speaking, Tissot isn't a brand that takes many risks. Aside from the PRX that took its integrated bracelet look to the masses several years ago, the Swiss brand under the Swatch umbrella rarely makes serious waves. Instead, it does its civic duty as a provider of high quality Swiss watches at affordable prices, across a .................. 31.12.24 More
The Hamilton highlights of 2023: cinema cameos, exploration and skeletonisation
Borna Bosnjak
Hamilton is one of those cult classic brands that only need a strong release or two each year to keep the hype going. They undoubtedly realised this in 2022 with the new Murph 38mm, showing that they’re in touch with their fanbase.

The A. Lange & S?hne Zeitwerk is a truly high-end digital watch
D.C. Hannay
When I think of digital watches, my mind immediately goes to a display carousel stocked with black plastic quartz watches priced at $9.99 at a discount superstore. What I don't think of is the upper echelons of high horology, where the crafting of mechanical masterpieces is akin to religion. Yet here is where the breathtaking Zeitw.................. 31.12.22 More
The Longines HydroConquest gets extra zing with a luxe two-tone look
Fergus Nash
Watch brands tend to stick to their guns, whether that's vintage-inspired reissues or totally modern watches that aren't afraid to keep evolving. However, Longines are one of very few brands that can pull off both excruciatingly well, and in this case we take a look into the new 2021 collection of HydroConquest modern divers.

D.C's five favourite watches of 2021
D.C. Hannay
Given the unprecedented events of the past two-ish years, the worldwide market for wristwatches has done surprisingly well.

In 2021, I think the watch industry lear.................. 31.12.21 More

Bulgari's pivot to the Roma at Geneva Watch Days
Luke Benedictus
Question: has any watch brand evolved as much as Bulgari in the last decade? In 2011, the company's watchmaking design division was transplanted from Rome to Neuchatel in Switzerland in a sign of the brand's horological intent. It's proved to be wildly fruitful, too, as Italian style has merged with Swiss precision in a success.................. 31.08.21 More

Felix Scholz
A Swiss watch is a near-universally recognised symbol for quality, precision and tradition. And while that's all well and good, there's another thing that fine Swiss watches tend to be synonymous with and that's high sticker prices. And broadly speaking that perception is true I constantly find myself uttering phrases like this $6.................. 31.08.18 More
