Few know today that Hamilton watch company was founded in America — back in 1892 in Lancaster, PA. Because the brand is owned today by Swiss luxury conglomerate, Swatch Group, it is a Swiss brand and Swiss made. However, the company long remembers and indulges in its American roots.

Back in June during the Couture Time show, Oris brought me behind a black curtain in its exhibition space and showed me a top-secret virtual reality movie of its soon-to-be-released watch: the Big Crown ProPilot X Caliber 115 watch.

Marking a first for Vacheron Constantin (well almost), the brand recently unveiled its Histories Cornes de Vache 1955 watch in stainless steel.

Thanks to a unique formation of a vertical baguette movement, two suspension points and skinny cables, the watch is truly incredible. Now that it is out in stores, we…
Just a few days after her fall off the stage in Vegas, Lady Gaga thus far seems to be doing okay. I remember when I saw her perform earlier this year, I was impressed that she brings people up from the audience during her show and interacts with them. Earlier in the year, I had…
Billing its announcement of a new show name and new format as the largest move the former SIHH (Salon International de la Hate Horlogerie) has made in its history, show organizers FHH (Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie) may be spot on. Now calling the exhibit Watches & Wonders Geneva, and giving it a two-prong approach…
Once owed by Elvis Presley, this solid gold and diamond-accented Ebel watch is up for sale for a mere $498,000 by M.S. Rau. The watch, which Presley later gifted to his friend and backup singer J.D.
