Introducing: The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm Is Finally Here (Video & Live Pics)
It’s undeniable that the PRX collection has been a tremendous success for Tissot so far. Everyone seemed to gravitate to it when it was launched a mere two years ago. Tissot hit a home run with it, as it has all the credentials of a luxury sports watch; a shaped case, prominent bezel, integrated bracelet and a textured dial. What was missing though was a slightly smaller version, as plenty of people feel the 40mm Tissot PRX wears a little too big. In comes the new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm.The style of luxury sports watches has been on the rise over the past few years, resulting in extreme demands for specific models. With this surge in popularity of watches like the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, it was inevitable others would join this segment of the market too. Historical icons were dusted off, entirely new designs were introduced and we even saw several independent watchmakers bring out luxury sports watches! The new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm now joins the party as a ver
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Rose Gold // Introducing, Price
While the time-only automatic model, the shockingly thin tourbillon automatic and the recently presented chronograph have been at centre stage in the Octo Finissimo collection, we shouldn’t forget one of the earliest watches presented in this saga of world records… The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater. First introduced in matte titanium, and followed by a bold carbon edition, a new version has been presented at the LVMH Watch Week, a luxurious and warm rose gold model. Quick look.We might repeat ourselves, but Bvlgari has all the attributes of a legitimate high-end, highly respectable watchmaker. Don’t be fooled by its history in jewellery and fashion-oriented watches. Since the acquisition of Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta, the brand has engaged in a long-term strategy to become one of the most important watchmakers on the scene – without forgetting its innate Italian design codes. The way to achieve this seemed simple (on paper), creating some of the thinn

IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase - Review
Over the last few years, IWC has been steadily re-positioning its various collections in a decidedly upward direction. Most notably, the Portugieser has moved up a few rungs on the price list, whilst the Portifino now occupies the space this move created. Although at first this may not seem like great news for your wallet, it has resulted in the introduction of several interesting and attractive pieces into the Portofino range, including this gorgeous IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase. Today, we go hands on to find out what all the fuss is about.When I first laid eyes on the new Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase (ref. 5164) earlier this year, I must admit I was impressed. Quietly introduced without much fanfare from the brand, it is a nice-looking watch that packs a lot of functionality into a rather understated design. In keeping with IWC's Bauhaus aesthetic, the dial is well-balanced, with clear, easy to read font and indices and a focus on function leading form. Two different versio
The refreshing Depancel Serie-R Cruiser
Square watches are less mainstream than their round counterparts, but some models have become truly legendary. TAG Heuer's Monaco is arguably the most recognised and synonymous with motorsport and Steve McQueen. The new Serie-R Cruiser from French microbrand Depancel is inspired by motorsport as well, specifically cafe racer and cruiser motorcycles. Its square case is certainly reminiscent of the iconic Monaco, and comparisons will inevitably be made, but the Cruiser is no copycat and has its own style and vibe. Let's take a closer look.It’s All in the NameDepancel is a small watch brand that takes inspiration from cars and motorcycles. The name comes from three different French car manufacturers, Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega, and each collection looks at different parts of the automotive world. The logo was also inspired by the 1954 Facel Vega coat of arms. The brand's tagline is: A brand created by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.. This isn't just a marketing line, as Depancel w
