Just a few days ago, a special team of shark researchers and scientists left the waters off of Cape Cod, MA, and headed out to the greater Atlantic Ocean on a two-week expedition to study sharks in their own environment. The expedition, led by Ocearch and supported by Swiss watch brand, Ulysse Nardin, aims to…
Just a few weeks ago, we broke the news here about Zenith’s collaboration with Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo for a one-of-a-kind platinum Zenith El Primero watch. The one-off watch is to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary of the legendary movement — and it went up for auction this past weekend at the…
German watch brand Tutima has a rich history in creating pilot and aviation watches. Now, the brand brings its expertise to a more affordable collection of sporty Flieger watches. Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season. Several versions of the new Tutima Flieger watches are being offered, including one with a bold green gradient…
This year marked the second time that I attended the Grand Prix d’ Horlogerie Geneva, GPHG. Some call this the Academy Awards of the watch industry. I am not so sure because it is not all encompassing. Many top brands don’t participate and don’t send their watches in for judging. This leaves some gaping holes.…
This is how I lost my dream watch to charity: This past weekend’s Only Watch charity auction witnessed intense bidding for what was bound to be the top lot: Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

With November here, Oris stands behind men’s health. Some tout it as the month to grow a mustache, others say its just time to open up. Either way, the Movember campaign is all about raising awareness of men’s health issues — especially the ones sometimes swept under the rugs, including prostate cancer and suicide. Oris…
This year marks the epic 50th anniversary of the TAG Heuer Monaco watch. The beloved square-shaped timepiece was born in 1969– the brainchild of Jack Heuer. It was the first automatic-winding chronograph movement and captured the attention of Steve McQueen, who wore it in the movie LeMans. It fast became an iconic legend in time.…
Godzilla…. a legend in movies and Japanese lore .. is on the loose again. With the recently released Godzilla: King of Monsters movie, you had to bet that a top Japanese watch brand would take on the giant. Grand Seiko was the perfect company to do so — since both Grand Seiko and Godzilla made…
Witty and on-point, Corum touts its newest collection with the phrase: “The admiral is getting undressed.” In fact, the admiral has gotten undressed- and the results are pretty stellar. The new Admiral AC-One 45 Openwork Automatic collection, complete with a tourbillon version, is all about uncovering the mechanics and showing them to the world. The…
Earlier this summer, independent watch brand Armin Strom unveiled its second Masterpiece watch: the Resonance Minute Repeater. We covered that watch thoroughly here and here (where we discuss why the watch didn’t make it to the GPHG jury). The watch warrants so much because it is a world’s first and worthy of the coverage. Recently, though,…
