Yes, I happily admit to having a weakness for Artisans de Genève and what the small brand does to somewhat ubiquitous big-brand grails. Just like the roughed-up charm of Phil Toledano’s Submariner added a rustic soul to an icon, ADG has a magic touch. The watch community will always be split on modifying what many […] Visit The Discreet Charm Of The Artisans De Genève Ciottolo Azzurro Project to read the full article.

Digging into some exciting new watches and some that never existed (but could have?).

DEPLOYANT - The watch magazine for collectors, by collectors For the regular readers of Deployant, we think that MB&F is perhaps a brand that needs no further introduction. MB&F, which debuted in 2005, recently just launched its 20th calibre – which incidentally won the “Aiguille d’Or” award at the most recent Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (“GPHG”). Even with the collaborations and prowess of [...] The post Creativity at its finest: Six of our favourite MB&F watches appeared first on DEPLOYANT.

Deciding whether or not to restore a vintage watch is a tough decision to make. The internet is awash with tales of watches butchered by an incompetent independent watchmaker or, worse still, the brand itself. Even more confusing is deciding which options offered should be accepted. Refinish the case? Change the hands? Replace the crystal? Here is some help for you.

Downsizing is a word that comes with two faces. On one end you might feel corners are cut, you get less bang for your buck, and the experience is less fun. A good example is cars, where downsizing usually means less power, less performance and often less joy to drive. On the other end, specifically […]

Recently, Balazs and I recorded a podcast about Seiko. We were forced to come up with two of our favorite models from the brand. This was no small feat, but we persevered. One of my choices was Champion Alpinist J13043, a bit of an “if you know, you know” watch that clocks in at roughly […] Visit Dear Seiko, Please Bring Back The Champion Alpinist J13043 to read the full article.

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published back in January earlier this year, but, with our recent list of the team’s GADA (go anywhere do anything) watch picks, this article came back to mind. Two daily wearers, with competetive specs and their own tradeoffs. A very solid match-up, dive back into the debate below. When the … Continued The post GADA-OFF: The Longines Spirit Titanium vs the Tudor BB58. Which is the better daily wearer? appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.

It’s been more than ten years since the De Bethune DB28 won the Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. Effectively the “Best Picture” at the “Oscars” of watchmaking, this recognition placed De Bethune among the elite company of Aiguille d’Or winners such as F.P. Journe, Greubel Forsey, Breguet, Audemars Piguet, A. Lange & Söhne, and Patek Philippe. A decade removed from its Hollywood ending, the DB28 remains a grail watch in every sense.

When it comes to dive watches, to say there is a lot of competition is a huge understatement. With over a century of watchmaking experience, Titoni has put forward their latest entries into this heavily contested field with the Seascoper 300 and 600.

Recently, GaryG had the opportunity to handle, photograph, and wear a good friend’s Balancier Contemporain in white gold. His pal had long been a fan of the brand but had always been put off by the size of the watches. At 39.6 mm wide, though, the Contemporain is the most compact Greubel Forsey ever.

There is no shortage of vintage-inspired chronographs on the market. Especially coming from established Swiss brands that have dug through their vast catalogues to recreate iconic models. There has also been a re-emergence of fine German watchmaking in the past few years. Hanhart is one of the best representatives of this movement.
