The movement is housed in the new Longitude collection of watches, made in the new Manufacturing and Technology center, called The…
Just a few weeks ago, we brought you some of the best new watches from the Montblanc 1858 collection, including the Montblanc 1858 Pocket Watch LE 100 and the limited edition Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph in green.

Every year we look forward to the excitement at Harry Winston — where we witness the Histoire d’ Tourbillon and sometimes even the Opus. While the brand unveiled a lot of newness at Baselworld 2018, much of which we will bring you here soon, we opted to show a little of the feminine side here today. The Harry Winston Emerald,…
Here at Baselworld 2018, we got the chance to go hands on with the newest watch that houses the all-new Manufacture-made TAG Heuer 02 chronograph movement: TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02. It makes sense that TAG Heuer would elect the Carrera to be the first watch housing the in-house-made caliber, as the Carrera has been…

Last year for its July Grand Exhibition in New York, Patek Philippe unveiled an amazing USA-exclusive watch that left many non-American clients incredibly jealous: Ref. 5531 New York Special Edition. With a patented movement, the watch became the first ever minute repeater to chime the time in any city on the world time chapter ring. Now, for…
