Earlier this spring, right after Watches & Wonders Geneva, we wrote in depth about the incredible Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante. The $28,700 watch was a world premier and is the first to use a split-second Rattrapante (generally used for a chronograph) for a GMT second time zone hand. This watch offered innovation inside and…
Richard Mille says it like it is. He may give numbers to his watches, but their names are always pretty clear cut. Such is the case with the magnificent bright yellow RM 60-01 Les Voiles de St. Barth 2018 Limited Edition Automatic Flyback Chronograph Regatta watch. Unveiled earlier today to honor the ninth annual Les Voiles…
For golf lovers, this past week’s whirlwind at The Masters in Augusta, Georgia, left some people disappointed. As players headed into the finals, Rickie Fowler (a Rolex brand ambassador) was the clear favorite of the crowd. In the final rounds, as it became clear that the 27-year-old Patrick Reed was going to take the win,…
Every year we attend Baselworld and report back on the show, the watches, the news, the people, etc. Essentially, we bring you the good, the bad and the ugly of the show. However, this year, we are stepping back a little. Why? Well, because ATimelyPerspective’s founder, Roberta Naas — who has just completed 34 years…
Would you sail solo, non-stop around the globe with absolutely no electronic tools, no GPS, no satellite communication? I, for one, absolutely would not. However, the concept is a great adventure for 65-year-old Istvan Kopar, a Hungarian-born American captain who already accomplished solo circumnavigation of the globe 27 years ago. Now, as he readies to…
Einstein’s theory of relativity states that space and time are connected. As far as horology is concerned, the incorporation of extraterrestrial materials into the manufacturing of time pieces is a match made in heaven. Louis Moinet has tapped into that natural synergy and created the Acasta and Dhofar watches. The manufacture is touting the two…
As mentioned when we reviewed the best and worst USB keys of SIHH 2018 earlier this year, we are in our sixth year of reviewing the storage devices that watch brands use to pass their precious information and images on to journalists and bloggers. This much-loved story has sparked a lot of attention over the…
Last week, following a very busy Baselworld 2018 show, I joined Zenith watches on a brief trip to Paris, where the brand opened what it calls a Pop-Up store. That Zenith boutique — strategically located in Place Vendome — is anything but Pop-Up. Instead, it is a brick-and-mortar corner store right on Place Vendome. With…
Very few watch brands – perhaps fewer than a handful – have the ability to offer the universe on the wrist. Sure, some offer the world, a globe, multi-hemispheres, the stars and even complete constellations – but just the upper echelon can bring an actual mechanical planetarium to the wrist. Van Cleef & Arpels is…
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. Now we bring you a look at a (relatively speaking) more affordable collection: the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere LE 1600…
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,…
