Abingdon Ladies Aviation Watches
It is not often that you see a top quality Pilot’s watch designed specifically for women and when you consider that only about 6% of pilots in the USA are women this is arguably not really that surprising. However, that doesn’t mean it’s right. Fortunately for female pilots the world over last year one of [...]

Chances are you may not be familiar with the brand Bremont but this English upstart is doing some great things in the world of watches.

Glashütte Senator Perpetual Calendar – Black Ceramic
At Baselworld this year my favourite German brand, Glashütte Original, introduced a stunningly simplistic variation of the Senator Perpetual Calendar. Clean, precise and subtle this is German engineering at its best. The watch is practical and sensible and yet at the same time visually alluring. There is no particular stand-out feature on the dial but [...]
Looking For A Big Pilot But Don’t Want To Pay Sky High Prices?
It’s a typical scenario, one of your favorite brands brings out a watch that you absolutely love but it so astronomically expensive that you can either never hope to afford it or it will become the only watch you ever buy. A perfect example of this is IWC’s infamous Big Pilot’s watch, a hugely popular [...]
Ulysse Nardin Diver Perpetual Limited Edition: The Best Of Both Worlds
As regular visitors to the site will know I am currently having an enduring love affair with dive watches. For the most part dive watches are completely impractical for every day use due to their excessively oversized dials designed for legibility under water first and foremost and aesthetics second. However, I think I may have just found an excellent half-way point. Enter the Ulysse Nardin Diver Perpetual Limited Edition.

In 1982, OMEGA launched a watch which would go on to become a global icon and rank among the world’s most identifiable timepieces. The watch was the Constellation Manhattan and earlier this year OMEGA released the completely redesigned series of this timeless classic.
Ulysse Nardin: Executive Dual Time
This is it, call off the search, I have found my offical ‘black-tie’ watch! Although I have always been somewhat of an admirer of the Dual Time collection from Ulysse Nardin, it wasn’t until they introduced the Executive Dual Time that I really fell in love.
Full Black: New Wyler Genève Code-R chronograph
It seems that black is back and its here to stay. I for one could not be happier. Especially when you consider the number of high quality, stealth look watches that have been steadily introduced to the market over the last 12 months. Take for example the new full-black Code-R chronograph from Wyler Genève.
Omega Seamaster 1200m: Return of the Ploprof!
Earlier this year Omega introduced an updated version of the legendary Ploprof. The Omega Seamaster 1200m which as the name subtlety indicates, is water resistant to an astonishing 1200m it is powered by a Calibre 8500 movement utilising Omega’s infamous co-axial technology.
