The tagline of Jacob & Co.’s new God of Time watch is: “the fastest tourbillon ever.” Standard tourbillon mechanisms spin on their own axis once every 60 seconds. There have been faster tourbillons out there, such as those that turn every 30 seconds (or even a bit faster). The God of Time’s new...
Whenever Citizen announces a new Tsuyosa, I am all ears. The brand’s hit watch has been a fan favorite ever since it debuted in 2022. I have had the pleasure of reviewing multiple Tsuyosa models and was impressed every single time. For its latest release, the Japanese brand collaborated with...
By now, I think most watch enthusiasts should be familiar with the work of Romaric André, a French artist with quite a sense of humour, who has turned himself into a prolific watch customizer under the name seconde/seconde/. The idea behind his creations is often lightly-toned, conceptual,...

Without a doubt, I consider Ressence one of the most interesting watch brands that exists today. I recognize that this comes as an extremely bold and uniformed statement considering I’ve never seen a Ressence in the metal (a.k.a. ‘in person’ for any non-watch folks that somehow found their way...
The tourbillon… is it a visual stunt or a useful component? If you chose to put one in a watch to do the work it was designed to do, you might as well keep it hidden. If the purpose is to mesmerise the onlooker with its rhythmic ballet, make it big, make it seen, so […]
Few recent reissues have enjoyed the sustained momentum of the Nivada Grenchen F77. Since its return, the Gérald-Genta-era-inspired sports watch has evolved through careful, calculated steps, and it returns today in its MkII form, subtly but meaningfully refined, preserving the spirit of the...
