Seiko has used its 5 Sports collection to reintroduce some of its great designs from the past. Often, they have been collaborative, limited-edition releases that have become hugely popular. With the new Seiko 5 Sports SRPM09 HUF Limited Edition, the brand brings back another funky watch from its...
Having the exact time on hand is nothing special nowadays. Almost always, you’re connected to satellite time (GPS), which is based on atomic clocks in satellites that measure time to 100 billionths of a second. Optimizing accuracy through mechanical parts is a whole other matter and an age-old...
The Tudor brand was founded exactly 100 years ago, in February 1926. Though the world was undoubtedly a very different place then, and the people responsible for Tudor’s creation are no longer around, the brand remains. Their legacy and the values that have shaped the brand over the past century...
You might know De Rijke & Co. from its Amalfi Series. Those watches feature a driver’s case that can be rotated 90 degrees for better legibility while your hands are on the steering wheel. We wouldn’t call it a sports watch, but it’s certainly not a dress watch either. Right at the end of last...
When we were offered the opportunity to go hands-on with almost the entire current line of Tudor Ranger models, I immediately volunteered. GADA (go anywhere, do anything) field watches are my favorite category, and I hold Tudor in very high regard. Naturally, I was very curious to experience...

Good morning, Fratelli, and welcome to another Sunday Morning Showdown. Slowly open your shutters, make yourself a nice cup of coffee, and sit back and relax. Today will be a discreet, sophisticated, and elegant showdown. Last year, Cartier reintroduced its famous Tank à Guichets in 18K rose...
High horology in 2026 often comes wrapped in noise — big launches, dramatic case shapes, exposed mechanics, and a constant push to be the most talked-about watch of the week. Yes, I do enjoy that world. Modern, design-led independence is where much of the creativity happens. But there’s another...
When we published the first part of this exploration into 1,000m-rated dive watches, the response was immediate and enthusiastic. That didn’t surprise me. Watches capable of surviving a kilometer beneath the surface occupy a fascinating niche. They go well beyond everyday practicality and...
