This year is shaping up to be an exciting one from a cars-and-watches perspective. Earlier this month we announced the new relationship between Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin, and before that TAG Heuer announced its partnership with Porsche — both with racing team involvements. Now, independent watch brand Richard Mille has announced a multi-year agreement with…
So we don’t usually cover the low-end of the watch spectrum, but we can’t resist this one. Last night in an epic win against the five-time winner Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, the Philadelphia Eagles took the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It was a historic moment — marking the Eagles’ first-ever Super Bowl victory.…
Sometimes a watch can have a special purpose above and beyond telling time and offering added functions. The new Minuteman Team Rubicon watches certainly have an important function: charity. In fact, the Minuteman was conceived of by Thomas Carey, who wanted to raise funds for charities that assist veterans and their families. Every year, the brand…
This morning, as has been the case every Groundhog Day for decades, thousands of people trek to what is the largest celebration — in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania — where Phil the groundhog makes his rightful appearance as the star meteorologist. He alone will determine if we hibernate (hide from winter) another six weeks, or start readying…
During SIHH 2018, Paneria unveiled a host of exciting new timepieces, including new 38 and 42mm Panerai Luminor Due watches — with great new interchangeable strap system.

In big news today, American retailer Tourneau has been acquired by European jewelry and watch retail giant, Bucherer Group. Not to be confused with the Swiss watch brand Carl F. Bucherer, which is also under the Lucerne, Switzerland-based retail group umbrella, Bucherer Group, acquired what is the largest US-based luxury watch retailer brick-and-mortar operation (not to…
Ok first and foremost, yes, we did go “hands on” with the Ulysse Nardin Classic Voyeur Erotic watch — a timepiece that not only gives all-new meaning to the concept of voyeurism, but also displays a sexual gesture that has not yet been shown in erotic watches, to the best of our knowledge. Erotic…
Every year, we anxiously await the trek to Geneva for the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) – the first luxury watch exhibit of the year. This year marked the 28th exhibition – and my 27th year in attendance (I missed one year when my darling daughter was born). As always, it was a…
Despite my disappointment in being unable to join Rolex for the 2018 Rolex 24 at Daytona, I can’t deny that watching in on TV was also a thrill. For me, it always is. As a teenager who basically hung out with the gear heads building muscle cars, race cars and racing at every local track…
Winning his 20th Grand Slam title yesterday, the 36-year-old Roger Federer also took his sixth Australian Open win and demonstrated once again his incredible athletic excellence. The Swiss tennis champion is also a Rolex brand ambassador, and while he does not wear his watch during play, he always dons it before accepting a winning trophy.…
