    Gold And Titanium Meet With The 38mm

    Being exposed to watches on a daily basis, what I am really after these days is a good surprise. I want a watch to delight me in ways I hadn’t expected and to make me rethink how I contextualize said watch, and perhaps the brand that produced it. On a trip to the Citizen offices in New York City not too long ago, I was met with such a surprise. As I was looking over the brand’s new releases, a single – already released – watch was passed across the table to me. It was The Citizen. That’s not hyperbole, that’s the name: The Citizen. The watch in question came…

    Louis Vuitton Flexes Its High-End Watchmaking With A Trio Of New Releases

    In addition to the new Louis Vuitton Flying Tourbillon, Louis Vuitton has announced a number of other real high-horology pieces produced by La Fabrique du Temps in Geneva.

    Royal Oak White Gold Selfwinding Tourbillon Extra-Thin (RD#3) In 37mm Ref. 26660BC

    Without overstating it, the RD#3 in 37mm is one of the most impressive things Audemars Piguet has done in a long time. It took intense effort to create such an elegant self-winding movement with a tourbillon and place it in the iconic 39mm by 8.1mm “Jumbo” case. Then they went and shaved an extra 2mm off the width. Impressive. This new model has a smoked blue Petite Tapisserie bezel and 12 baguette-cut diamond hour markers. The white gold case (a new material perfect for gem setting) is still 8.1mm thick and has 50m of water resistance, and the bezel is set with 32 baguette-cut diamonds. This complements the 37mm RD#3…

    NOMOS Glashutte Orion Neomatik 41 Datum New Black

    Moving on to something more on the traditional and dressy side of the aesthetic continuum, here we have one of the latest releases from NOMOS Glashütte. The largest size among the trio of newly released black Orion Neomatiks, this is also the only model that features a date window, which rests at the three o’clock position https://www.highluxurystore.ru/. While the Orion Neomatik remains NOMOS’ quintessential dress watch offering, the brand usually leans on the more formal white dial options or experiments on the lighter end of the color spectrum, so the black dial adds a bit of an edge to the classic line. Additionally, for those on the fence about whether…

    The Casiotron Makes Its Grand Return 50 Years After Starting A Digital Revolution

    While Casio was already a well-established producer of computers, calculators, and other early electronic consumer goods, 1974 was a pivotal year in the Japanese brand’s storied history – and one that would forever change its positioning in the consumer goods space, and the watch industry at large. This monumental shift in the Casio legacy began with one wrist-sized technological innovation in the form of its first digital wristwatch – the original Casiotron – which would introduce its new automatic calendar functionality to the landscape of electronic watches that was just beginning. Now 50 years later, Casio returns to the source, and revives its preeminent digital watch with all the style…

    Our Favorite Perpetual Calendars For The 2024 Leap Year

    It’s one of my favorite horological(ish) holidays this month, and it only comes around once every four years (give or take). February 29th is leap day! That means that if you’re one of those lucky ones with one of the most grand of complications – the perpetual calendar – it’s time to dust it off, make sure it’s properly set (for once), and get ready to watch it do its thing. Four years ago, we checked in with the staff to see their favorite perpetual calendars – quantième perpetuel or QP to the French – and now we’re back to doing it again. Let this serve as a reminder to…

    Bell & Ross Welcomes Another Bronze-Clad Diver Into The Fold

    While it might be more known for its unconventional square case design on its divers, this ain’t Bell & Ross’ first rodeo when it comes to working with bronze. In attempts to further connect with diving heritage and history, the brand introduced its first bronze dive watch back in 2018 and has returned to the material every now and again since that first exploration – often in the form of a limited production run. Now, Bell & Ross continues its love affair with bronze, releasing its latest limited edition BR-03-92 diver in a new emerald green and black colorway. Despite still being a decently underutilized material in the watch world,…
