I am happy to go on record and say that a world timer simply makes more sense than a GMT. A GMT watch, particularly one with a quick-set 12-hour hand, is a true traveler’s watch. However, I spend countless hours sitting in my home office but communicating and collaborating with colleagues and friends worldwide. After […]

I’d happily admit to finding it difficult to choose my favorite watches under €1,000 from this year’s bounty. I’ll try not to be too personal this time, but that’s precisely what is so good about this intensely satisfying pastime.

The enigmatic moonphase complication goes in and out of fashion like watch sizes, and I have a personal penchant for the genre. With classic iterations from mid-range brands like Longines up to grail Pateks, the classicism still reigns supreme.

Could we be entering a new phase of retro love? I don’t know about you, but these days I’m feeling somewhat desensitized to the coolness of 1960s dive watches. We all love their aesthetics, and they’re a surefire way to start a new microbrand as long as you get the basics right, but are they […]
