The Explorer has a way of sneaking up on you. It’s not all that flashy, has no real complexity to speak of, features slightly strange looking numerals at 3, 6, and 9, and clocks in at a diminutive 36mm in diameter. Yet, it’s a watch that gets under the skin over time and exposure. At […] The post [VIDEO] The Rolex Explorer Hits the Collector’s Roundtable appeared first on Worn & Wound.

Louis Moinet and its Owner and Creative Director, Jean-Marie Schaller, have never hidden a certain passion for anything related to space exploration and the cosmos.

Even for a vintage collector like me, there is one positive side effect of re-editions. Once I spotted the recently announced new line of Excelsior Park chronographs, I realized that I might have an original piece “somewhere.” Early this week, Mike tagged me in his Instagram post saying that he is not upset about Excelsior […] Visit #TBT Going Deep Into The Safe After The Freckled Excelsior Park EP-4 to read the full article.

An unexpected success for the young independent watchmaker (maybe a bit too much of a success…), the Antarctique is a very appealing vision of a luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet, combined with high-end watchmaking credentials. Following multiple stainless steel editions, such as the Passage de Drake or the recent 38.5mm edition (and of […]

It is an understatement to say that the Czapek Antarctique is a successful addition to the realm of integrated-bracelet sports watches. It has been applauded by the watch media, and Czapek struggles to meet the demand.

The approach of Richard Mille when it comes to sports watches has always been an interesting one. Instead of aiming at its clients, they develop their watches for professional athletes. The most exciting part of this is that most of them ...

The latest and greatest project of the Massena LAB is the new Angelus Chronographe Médical x Massena LAB, a re-edition of Angelus' first doctor's watch, which was first produced in the 1960s. Since then, the legendary original has become a favorite among vintage collectors and enthusiasts. This new mono-pusher chronograph is cased in a 39 mm stainless steel case.
