For 2014, Breitling quietly releases a tweaked collection of Colt watches in four versions that include a womens model, a chronograph, and two three-handers. If you dont know, the Colt has been one of Breitlings most entry-level models representing an accessible way of getting into the brands military-inspired sport watch theme. These new Breitling Colt watches have more Breitling DNA than ever, and there are some things to consider when looking at the new collection. I especially want to discus [...]

It is pretty wild, and sort of ridiculous at the same time. Franck Muller pushes itself into the realm of luxury sport watch aesthetics. In a way, it feels like what Audemars Piguet did with the Royal Oak Offshore, only here with Franck Muller. This is the tourbillon version of the watch, but there is also a (much less expensive) chronograph version. It comes in titanium and Egral or rose gold. Over $100k, and massive in size.See my Franck Muller Conquistador Grand Prix Tourbillon watch article [...]

If you are in the mood for a sporty GMT watch with a lot of character and a decent price, then the still-fresh Swiss Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT 43mm should be something to take a close look at. The Maurice Lacroix Aikon is the popular integrated bracelet watch that has been doing very well for the brand over the last few years. It later released the Aikon Venturer, which was a divers watch-style product extension of the Aikon family. Now, the Aikon Venturer GMT takes the core look and fe [...]

One of the most powerful tools in any scale modelers arsenal is the use of detail labeling, particularly when dealing with fictional or fantastical machines. By placing heat warning labels near exhaust vents, opening instruction signs near hatches, and the like, a skilled model builder can take wild sci-fi designs from the X-Wing fighter to the MS-06 Zaku II and ground them in a layer of functional realism that can make these creations feel much more believable. Casio has always fostered a techn [...]

This is a guest post by Ben Winstanley, Deputy Editor at the London-based luxury lifestyle publication Square Mile. It is meant to announce the winners of their latest watch awards.Square Mile Watch Awards 2019In Association With Remy Martin | Meet The Winning Watches Watchmaking is an artform. The bare bones of it may consist of nothing more than a smattering of precious materials - some no larger than a grain of rice - but the journey that transforms these tiny pieces into the watches we wear [...]

Blancpain just released the new X Fathoms dive watch that it has been promoting for a while now. Launched in Dubai, the new super diver contains a mechanical depth gauge as well as a few interesting features. One of those is a retrograde five minute counter on the dial that is always running.

No other diving watch in the world has ever looked like this.According to Blancpain the mechanical depth gauge (which can measure up to 90 meters [...]

Putting an appropriately colorful bow on Watches Wonders 2020, Parmigiani just released a novelty that is anything but subdued: the new Tonda 1950 Moonbow. Inspired by the lunar rainbow, this slim tourbillon has an aventurine dial and show-stopping rainbow bezel composed of blue, pink, orange, and yellow sapphire, rubies, tsavorites, and amethyst. And before you ask, this is absolutely a unisex piece that has a case measurement at a pretty ideal 40.2mm.SPECIFICATIONS:Brand: Parmigiani FleurierM [...]

The?Richard Mille?RM 039 Tourbillon Aviation E6-B is one baffling watch.?I mean, I am struggling to fathom how and why this incredibly complicated watch came to be, who the 30 people are that this million-dollar watch is for, and how 95% of its functions can ever possibly be used if you are not a trained pilot. Still, I went hands-on with it and pushed myself to try and understand it a bit more, and guess what, it actually had a few neat details up its sleeve to sort of work as?rewards throughou [...]

BaselWorld 2011 had a large selection of watches you can wear from brands that normally make watches most people cannot afford. While the ultra-high end certainly had its place, many of the watches on my BaselWorld Top 11 watches list were in the I could feasibly save up for this range. One of them was this surprise pieces from Corum called the Admirals Cup Legend 42. It comes in Legend 42 and 38 styles which refers to the size of the case. Of course the 42 is for me.The case design is based on [...]

Article by contributing writer Ian EveleighWhat is the collective noun for reissued watches? A nostalgia? A cash-in? Whatever it is, there has certainly been no shortage of them in recent years. From Timex to TAG Heuer, via pretty much every other brand with a history worthy of note, designs are being resurrected and rehashed to create new models with an old look, often with highly desirable results.Among the many players in this game is Citizen, although you may not be aware of the full extent [...]

Perhaps the greatest strength of Casios keystone G-Shock line, beyond even its immense durability and functionality, is the sheer overwhelming breadth of the series. Theres a G-Shock for nearly every taste and budget, from playful sub-$100 digital throwbacks all the way up to hand-crafted exemplars of Japanese craftsmanship in the exclusive MR-G sub-line with $8,000 price tags. Although the diversity of Casios current G-Shock offerings is wider than ever before, the brand has consistently made e [...]

This may not be your Dads?(or Grandads) Speedmaster, but this new limited edition Omega?Moonwatch is a direct reference to an?event that previous generations will not soon forget. To commemorate the 45th?anniversary?of Apollo 13, Omega has announced a new and rather comical (sorry) tribute not only to the famously aborted Apollo mission, but also to the Silver Snoopy Award that NASA gave to Omega in 1970 for their work on the Apollo program. With a beautiful crisp white dial and a period-correct [...]

If theres one watch that still haunts the collective dreams of the watch lover community since SIHH 2017 its the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. In ceramic. In the 40-ish years since the Royal Oaks conception, Gerald Gentas avant-garde masterpiece has seen it all. Cases made of steel, gold, platinum, and forged carbon, married to nearly every type of complication under the sun in haute horology-but never in full ceramic, both case and bracelet. Its this fresh addition to the legacy [...]

Lets get one thing straight: These are far from the most interesting Panerai?watches we saw in their SIHH booth this year. On top of some extremely cool high-complication pieces, the brand also launched a new customer experience concept with its ambassadors - each with a unique and highly limited watch to match. But this is a story that longtime fans and Panerai newcomers, alike, have been waiting for, as well as one that hints that the future of Panerai might not rest on the shoulders of dinner [...]
