Editors Picks

I just reviewed the new releases for this year from Patek and must admit they did not disappoint this year. So many interesting and wonderful releases.... here are some of my favorites even though I like them all... 5520P / out of my budget range but super cool. Perhaps I would have wished to own th

Serial production of chronographs began with the esteemed – and is perhaps the most recognised of all vintage Patek Philippe chronographs. Production started in 1934, and the movement was a heavily modified Valjoux. Production ended in 1964, with approximately 1500 pieces in all metals being made.

Friends, we all know of the connection between Girard-Perregaux and Ferrari and the Girard-Perregaux Pour Ferrari collection. However, let’s have a closer look at how this all came about and what were the most remarkable creations during that partnership. The partnership with Ferrari and the idea to

One of the watches I wore the most, during these three last years, which mea

so what can be better than a reminder from the last year. Baselworld 2018 Unfortunately we getting older so the roadtrip to Basel is over nowdays. Now we can enjoy the great weather instead. And of course a beer. As usual I trade the veggies for a beer with the guy beside me. Arrived to Basel at the

Its amazing to think there are 50 years between the 2 of these Ultramen and yet side by side they seem like brothers (rather than father and son). I think they really did a great job with the Speedie Tuesday Ultraman, but in my mind the original holds the edge... even with all its battle scars from
