Wow Watch Wednesday: Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Balance Spring

Tom Mulraney | December 1, 2010 | What Do You Think? (2)

Over the past 12 months there has been a noticeable shift back towards more classic, reserved timepieces as brands and buyers emerged from the global financial crisis with decidedly different (perhaps humbled?) tastes. This trend has been even more apparent in men’s watches, with over-sized dials and

Wow Watch Wednesday: The Greubel Forsey Effect (Live From SIHH 2010)

Ian Ellery | January 20, 2010 | What Do You Think? (0)

Perhaps the hottest ticket in town this year at SIHH 2010 is an interview with Stephen Forsey. The co-founder of Greubel Forsey is a busy man and its not hard to see why when you look at the mind blowing pieces his company has created. But early on Tuesday morning I was able to spend a short time with him to talk about the latest products and look back over the last few hectic years.

Wow Watch Wednesday: Corum Golden Tourbillon Panoramique Grey Sapphire

Tom Mulraney | December 30, 2009 | What Do You Think? (2)

Undeniably 2009 has been a very innovative and successful year over at Corum. The brand launched their second in-house movement and a number of novelties, including the very unique Ti-Bridge series. So it is fitting then that one of their latest creations is the focal point for our last Weird Watch Wednesday entry for 2009, [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: BR 01-92 Radar

Tom Mulraney | December 23, 2009 | What Do You Think? (2)

Bell & Ross is starting to become a bit of a favorite when it comes to Weird Watch Wednesdays. A couple of weeks ago we told you about the BR01-94 Carbon Fiber Chronograph, made from a single block of carbon fibre. This week we’re going even more stealth, if that’s possible! Designed for the hardcore [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: The Perpetual Flying Tourbillon

Tom Mulraney | December 16, 2009 | What Do You Think? (10)

I’ve selected this week’s watch to demonstrate the value of equipping yourself with the right knowledge before you go out and make that all important purchase. In the course of my daily travels across the internet I chanced across this rather innocuous company that purports to offer what is renowned as highly complex, and therefore [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: Bell & Ross BR01-94 Carbon Fiber Chronograph

Tom Mulraney | December 2, 2009 | What Do You Think? (0)

This week’s watch is unique for a rather obvious reason: the case is manufactured entirely from a single block of carbon fiber. In fact, pretty much the whole thing is carbon fiber, which certainly makes for an interesting look, to say the least. Who would do such a thing you ask? The enterprising fellows over [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: Winner Of “I Love My Seiko” Contest Announced

Tom Mulraney | November 25, 2009 | What Do You Think? (0)

This week’s article is not about a watch per se but instead a rather unique marketing concept thought up by those infamous Japanese pioneers, Seiko. You may recall a few months ago that we let you know about a competition called “How Much Do You Love Your Seiko?” Essentially this was an online video contest [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: The Parmigiani Toric Tourbillon

Ben Walters | November 18, 2009 | What Do You Think? (0)

As a longtime fan of all things Parmigiani, I have always taken extra effort to follow the brand, and have been lucky enough to see its watches in person on two occasions. Independently owned and fiercely innovative, Parmigiani have spared no expense to secure itself and its reputation as a true Manufacture. The brand offers simple hand wound watches as well as exceptionally complex pieces.

Wow Watch Wednesday: Concord’s C1 Quantum Gravity

Tom Mulraney | October 28, 2009 | What Do You Think? (4)

This week’s watch provides us with an excellent example of taking things one step too far. Or in the case of the Concord C1 Quantum Gravity, several steps too far. I am a huge supporter of pushing boundaries in high-end watch design and challenging conventional thinking, especially when it is done successfully. Think MB&F’s HM [...]

Wow Watch Wednesday: Change Your Perspective With The wn-2 Earth Watch

Tom Mulraney | October 21, 2009 | What Do You Think? (2)

This week’s ‘Weird Watch’ not only looks cool, it has also been designed to serve a higher purpose. To put it simply, the wn-2 watch from Japanese not-for-profit organization Think The Earth is out of this world! Why you ask? Well you’re just going to have to read on to find out.

Wow Watch Wednesday: The Pointless StressWatch

Tom Mulraney | October 14, 2009 | What Do You Think? (1)

This week’s watch is not only weird, but in my opinion it’s also useless. Its called the StressWatch and as the name suggests indicates the wearer’s level of stress. Which brings me to my next point. It doesn’t even tell the time, which in my book means that it fails the definition of a watch, [...]
