The Alpina Extreme Tourbillon Regulator Manufacture
When considering the relationship between luxury and value, points of view tend to disagree. This is because these two concepts are somewhat contradictory. In light of Tom Mulraney’s article about the real value of tourbillon watches, I find it suiting to take a closer look at a watch that claims to offer both luxury and [...]
Weird Watch Wednesday: The Concord C1 Code Chronograph
This week’s piece from Swiss watch maker Concord is certainly unique but we’re not really sure if that’s a good thing. Over the last few years the luxury brand has built a reputation for pushing the envelope when it comes to design, in large part thanks to the marketing ingenuity of former President Vincent Perriard, [...]
Daniel Dreifuss (Maurice de Mauriac): The man who stands out from the crowd
Daniel Dreifuss is the kind of man who, when discussing haute horlogerie, talks pretty much about everything… but haute horlogerie. Star behavior, snobbery even? On the contrary. Daniel Dreifuss is a lover of life, constantly unsatisfied, a workaholic who is as happy working 12 to 16 hours a day as he is upset by the [...]
Daniel Dreifuss (Maurice de Mauriac) : Un homme à part
Daniel Dreifuss est un homme qui, lorsque vous lui parlez horlogerie, vous parle à peu près de tout….sauf d’horlogerie. Caprice de star, snobisme ? Tout au contraire. Daniel Dreifuss est un amoureux de la vie, un éternel insatisfait doublé d’un bourreau de travail, qui se réjouit tout autant de travailler 12 à 16 heures par jour [...]

The Tyndall Watch From Newcomer Xetum – Less Is More
Late last year a new watch brand was launched, pioneered by founder and head designer Jeff Kuo. Simply called Xetum, this funky new brand offers a novel take on minimalist watch design without compromising on functionality or quality. Each piece is well thought out and well put together, and just as importantly, well priced. Today, we thought we’d take a closer look at a particular model that caught our fancy, the brand new Xetum Tyndall.

Guaranteed.
Une Journée Avec Les Maîtres du Temps
C’est un fait avéré que cette semaine à Genève fut le théâtre d’une foule pressante et d’une bonne part de stress. Manquer un rendez-vous n’est pas envisageable, et c’est donc d’autant plus appréciable que d’avoir l’opportunité de se poser confortablement dans un fauteuil et d’avoir quelqu’un qui vous présente une succession de montres d’exception dans [...]
