Watch I Love

URWERK has never built watches for people who want discretion, and the UR-120 Blue Planet confirms that old truth with almost theatrical confidence. This final chapter in the UR-120 story feels sharper, leaner and more self-aware, because the watch does not simply celebrate space-age fantasy, but it turns that fantasy into a tightly engineered object with real wrist presence. Blue defines the…

Since 1988, Chopard has served as the Mille Miglia’s World Sponsor and Official Timekeeper, and Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has driven every single edition of the race…

There are watches that tell time, and then there are watches that make a declaration. The TAG Heuer Monaco Speed 12, unveiled at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 and limited to just 50 individually numbered pieces, belongs unambiguously in the second category. TAG Heuer and La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, two houses with very different creative vocabularies, have…

Momoa visited the Bicester atelier to meet the team, experience the Bentley Blower Jnr and other Hedley Studios creations, and begin shaping a car that reflects his personal world.

The Hermès Arceau Cavalier en Formes is a watch that tell a story, and a piece that seems to exist in an entirely different philosophical register. Since Henri d’Origny conceived the Arceau in 1978, Hermès has used that round case with its signature asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs as a canvas for its most ambitious artistic and horological ambitions. The Cavalier en Formes is, without…

On 2 June 1941, Lou Gehrig passed away at thirty-seven years old, leaving behind a legacy so vast that Major League Baseball now marks 2 June as Lou Gehrig Day. 85 years later, Oris chooses this precise date to release a limited edition that sits firmly at the intersection of sport, human dignity, and genuine watchmaking craft – Oris Lou Gehrig Limited Edition. Continue reading Oris Lou Gehrig…

Zenith G.F.J. Calibre 135 Double Signed is a collaborations born of genuine passion. The Double Signed Programme originated from the encounter between Zenith’s Chief Product Officer Romain Marietta and Naoya Hida in his Tokyo workshop. Their shared reverence for the golden age of chronometry sparked an immediate connection, and the result is a limited edition of ten platinum pieces that carries…

Ten years ago, in a corner of the 2015 SalonQP event in London, a watch called Quai des Bergues announced the rebirth of a name that had disappeared more than 150 years earlier: Czapek & Cie. By the end of the following year, the watch from an unknown startup had won the Public Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). In the decade since then, Czapek has successfully claimed its…

Eberhard & Co. announces the completion of the restoration of the eagle statue that crowns the building housing both the Maison’s headquarters and its museum dedicated to its historical heritage, known as the Maison de l’Aigle, the mansion commissioned by Georges-Lucien Eberhard at the beginning of the 20th century. Continue reading The Eagle Returns Home: Eberhard & Co. Restores Its Historic…

H. Moser & Cie. has never been a brand to shout, but bold and recognisable. It lets the work do the talking, and the new Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date Ref. 1730-1200 makes a very clear statement indeed. Launched on 27th May 2026, this is a watch that packs a flyback chronograph, a dual time zone display, and a date function into one of the cleanest dials you will find in Swiss…

Favre Leuba is one of those brands whose history deserves far greater attention. Founded in 1737 in Le Locle, it holds the distinction of being the second-oldest Swiss watchmaking brand in the world. In 2026, the brand made its debut at Watches and Wonders Geneva, and it arrives with a clear statement: the Deep Raider Power Reserve. Continue reading Introducing Favre Leuba Deep Raider…

Guido Benedini is one of the most interesting voices in contemporary independent watchmaking, because he does not speak about watches as objects alone, but as tools with a purpose. As CEO of Watch Angels, he has helped shape a platform that treats research, design and community input as part of the same process, and the new Watch Angels x Alpina Startimer Pilot IFR Chronograph captures that…

Seven decades ago, a Porsche 356 Cabriolet rolled off a dock in Kuwait. Morad Behbehani brought it there in 1956, making his family the first Porsche dealer in the Middle East and one of the earliest anywhere in the world. To mark that anniversary, Porsche has done what it does best: built something extraordinary and kept it almost impossibly rare. Continue reading Porsche 911 Turbo S Sadu…
