Mixed martial arts champ Conor McGregor is known for his in-your-face style and boldness. That may be why some people in the world aren’t too shocked by McGregor’s newest watch purchase, which he showed off days before losing the UFC 257 fight against Dustin Poirier. The 32-year-old MMA fighter spent $1 million on a Jacob &…
We hear about all sorts of items being made via three-dimensional printing… but watches? Absolutely. 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.

I selected a brand that typically retails for more than $1,000, but that has certain pieces in the under (barely) $1,000: Vortic Watches. I selected the Chicago watch, with…
