I’ve been doing this long enough that by now I probably should have reviewed a Monta. For whatever reason, I just haven’t had the chance. It’s kind of like living in Cooperstown and never going to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Inexplicable. Of course, I’ve handled plenty of Montas over the years....
The new "Meteorite Octa" isn't a part of the brand's permanent collection, so you've only got a few days to decide if you love it. And I think you just might.
Furlan Marri has built its reputation by offering faithful mid-century design with exceptional detail. The price remains approachable for most watch enthusiasts. If not handled carefully, this could seem like a cheap trick. However, when vintage details are applied with care and the materials...
Last year, Chronoswiss released a surprising re-edition of the brand’s highly idiosyncratic Digiteur MSA (montre sans aiguilles, or “watch without hands”), first created in 2005 by Chronoswiss founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang. Upholding the brand’s affinity for unconventional time displays and riding...

Tissot has long been deeply connected to the world of cycling, serving as an official timekeeper for major international races – including the prestigious Tour de France and Vuelta a España – as well as for the Union Cycliste Internationale. Beyond precise race timing, the brand partners with...
Le Locle is a special watchmaking town in Switzerland. Treviso in Italy is special too. It’s the home of Pinarello, a manufacturer of high-performance race bikes. And that’s a very successful brand. No fewer than 15 Tour de France titles were won on a Pinarello, for instance. The Tissot...
Czapek launched the Antarctique collection in 2020 as its first luxury sports watch built around the in-house calibre SXH5, marking a major step in the brand’s modern revival. Striking a refined balance between luxury and everyday wearability, Czapek unveils titanium interpretations of three...
Watches and Wonders 2026 hasn’t officially kicked off yet, but the announcements are already here! Fans of Czapek and its popular Antarctique collection will be happy with today’s news. We also feel that it will attract new collectors. Titanium is the focus, and the brand uses it in good measure...
Arnold & Son’s UTTE – Ultra Thin Tourbillon Escapement – debuted at Baselworld 2013, powered by the ultra-thin 2.97mm hand-wound calibre A&S8200. Recognised as the world’s thinnest tourbillon wristwatch, the title was stolen from Arnold & Son just one year later with Bulgari’s 1.95mm Octo...
