Graff Galaxy Ladies Watch
It really is like a galaxy of diamonds. Typically Graff is known for their angular shaped watches (designed by the same guy who designed the Corum Admiral’s Cup watches). This time though the Galaxy watch is more organic in spirit. A design theory that doesn’t always work, and of course requires the right women,... »
Habring 2 Foudroyante Watch: For True Horological Nerds
While I am fascinated by a watch like this I fully grasp the reality that it is meant to appeal to a specific few. While technically this watch is interesting, even impressive, most people will seriously misunderstand the irony of the watch. Habring 2 (number 2 placed in the position at the end of... »
Hysek IO Jumping Hour Watch
My opinion on this watch is still up in the air. While it has a lot of good design elements, I wonder if it is not enough to live up to the Hysek name. In a nutshell, you have a jumping hour and jumping minute style watch with an AM/PM indicator. Mechanical digital watches... »
Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe Rectangulaire All Black Watch
Like many other luxury watch brands, it looks like Maurice Lacroix is suffering from a bit of an identity crisis. While I see some form of brand DNA, it seems as though each of their new models is quite random in form. Not necessarily bad, but more like the company is simply throwing darts... »
Tissot PRS 516 Watches Valid Retro Satisfaction?
It is hot to be retro today. It is also smart. Developing a new watch design is expensive, and more importantly risky. What happens if you put months of development into a new type of watch or a look, and then someone like me pans it. Not only that, but other people agree with... »
Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Off-Centered Hours And Minutes Watch
Here is an interesting watch that is part of Girard-Perregaux’s Vintage 1945 collection. I just love the irony that the Vintage 1945 collection is new. This is one of the flagship pieces in my opinion and it comes in their Vintage 1945 XXL case with an enamel dial. We really take watch dials for... »
Graff MasterGraff Tourbillon Limited Edition Full Pave Watch
My fascination with Graff watches began a while ago when I first saw their diamond shrouded timepieces. These watches are as rare as a Graff boutiques. Or perhaps this is just my obviously untraveled observation as I have only seen Graff locations in Las Vegas, and aside from the rarest of places you never... »
Pierre DeRoche GrandCliff TNT Penta Watch A Winner?
Last year Pierre DeRoche released an interesting watch called the TNT Royal Retro. The name says nothing, but it had six separate retrograde dials that made up the seconds counter (10 seconds each), beating Milus with its TriRetrograde line of watch that used three (20 seconds) each. The interesting complication was placed in a... »
Time To Revisit Rado Watches
Rado is a major name in watch making that has become less important in Western markets over the years. The brand that practically “made” ceramic as a major material for watch construction has seemingly been around in the background for a while. For me, the brand epitomized 80’s futurism and modernism when it come... »
Harry Winston Project Z6 Limited Edition Watch
New from Harry Winston is a watch that feels pretty old. Not ancient, but Harry Winston watches have been looking pretty much the same with each new iteration. The basic look is attractive, but a collector won’t have any reason to buy mre than one. If you are in the market for a Harry... »
