Since having a look-back at the spectacular Graham Swordfish Ali Baba Limited Edition in all its rainbow spectrum of glory, it would be simply rude not to mention Rodolphe Cattin’s Adore Tutti Frutti.   Diamonds, sapphires, rubies and tsavorites provide the sparkle but it is the design of this piece that shines through.  The [...]

      Watch industry news headlines have been awash with information on pieces released for the biennial charity “Only Watch” auction which will take place later this year in Monaco.  Each watch will be a “piece unique” and all proceeds will go towards the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy charity.  The Vacheron Constantin Atelier Cabinotiers Philosophia [...]

  Graham recently released a new diamond set addition to their Swordfish collection.  Even though this is a ladies piece, Graham London do not do dainty.  This one has a more than ample 46mm steel case, plenty of space onto which flawless Top Wesselton stones are set.  On the dial an abundance of diamonds also [...]

  Is it a bit parky out there today?  The Ball Trainmaster Celsius watch will let you know whether to wrap up warm or strip off the layers if you’re a bit partial to the elements.  It features a “TMT” function or mechanical thermometer module, displayed on the dial in an arc-shaped indicator at 6 [...]

      Junghans are celebrating 150 years of watchmaking with an 18 carat gold edition of the iconic Max Bill Chronoscope.  Today the design still looks fresh – perfect in its simplicity.  The case edge is one of the trimmest you will ever see.  Glance at it face-on and it is barely there.  The [...]

  If you like IWC’s Ingenieur collection then you will want this one on your wrist.  The Ingenieur has always been unpretentious, technical, usable.   The latest piece which is constructed from titanium means that the chunky 45mm case is even comfortable, not an essential requirement when a watch looks this good.   Instantly recognisable as [...]

  If there was a checklist of essential features for a classically styled watch then the Carl F.
