The Latest News About Watches

Cars come in white, black, or silver, houses are painted white with black sills, and our phones are just sleek black rectangles.

There's a difference between a watch that slightly nods to other watch designs and one that repurposes a legend’s signature design and calls it original. The new Raymond Weil A.R.T. Automatic sits on the wrong side of that line, and the brand's own language makes the problem worse, not better.

If there is one thing that the brand understands well, it’s that it should […] Visit Christopher Ward Collaborates With The Dial Artist To Create The Twelve Xander to read the full article.

As Christopher Ward has grown in stature in recent years, it’s their most ambitious watches that have resonated the most with me, personally. Nothing against the Sealanders, Tridents, and the like, but the brand has really become interesting to me with watches like the Bel Canto and the Loco, and even the more artistic, design […] The post Christopher Ward Introduces The Twelve Xander, a New Collaboration with The Dial Artist appeared first on Worn & Wound.
