It’s not surprising these days to hear that certain watch brands are turning to recycled materials such as plastic and PET bottles for watch straps. However, when a watch brand says it is using upcycled fire hoses — you pay attention — especially if you have a first-responder in your family. In fact, British watch…
Late last year, I was one of a select, small group of journalists invited by A. Lange & Sohne to go stargazing in the Sonoran desert in Arizona. Having been a fan of this German brand since it (re)launched – and I remember the launch, and the unveiling of its first watches, then at…
In the on-going series of video interviews conducted by ATimelyPerspective’s founder Roberta Naas (author of six books on watches), we take time to talk with those British boys we all seem to know and love in the watch industry. Co-founders of Bremont, brothers Nick and Giles English have won their way into the hearts of…
With the new year upon us and the promise of great new watches being released this year, we took a video look back at highlights of 2017 from several particular brands that were exhibiting at last fall’s WatchTime New York, One of the brands we had the good fortune of meeting with on camera for our…
With the new year here, it means show season will begin. In the watch world, that predominantly means — SIHH 2018, here we come. However, as we know, many other brands capitalize on the fact that so many retailers and press are in Geneva for SIHH and so they, too, exhibit their newest inventions —…

In fact, over the past years, more and more watch brands have been using 3D printing in creating prototypes of watches that are in research and development stages. Yesterday, we wrote about Vortic Watch Company, which makes all of…
With the SIHH 2018 almost upon us, we expect to see some great watches coming our way from the 18 brands exhibiting there. One of those brands, Baume & Mercier, may have an extension for us resulting from the company’s partnership with Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company.
