First Look: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy
The long-awaited No-Date Seamaster Diver 300M… Teased during the summer, finally released in steel versions in late 2024. Deeply inspired by the No Time to Die edition once worn on screen by 007, this new sub-collection within the SM300 range got the vintage touch in addition to being free of its date window, domed sapphire crystal, aluminium dial and bezel, and some with a mesh bracelet. The design proved to be a success in steel, only to be confirmed by the Titanium and Bronze Gold edition with green accents a few weeks later. The story continues today with yet another version, this time crafted entirely in Bronze Gold and paired with a burgundy-toned bezel.?As with the recent steel versions and the titanium/bronze gold models, these new early-2025 versions are inspired by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was launched in 2020 for the James Bond film No Time to Die.

The Maison Alcee Percee, A Fantastic Built-it-Yourself Mechanical Table Clock
In today’s day and age, it’s easy to forget that the wrist-worn timekeeping devices we love so much come from a long history of clockmaking. After all, clockmaking precedes watchmaking by several centuries, as the first mechanical clocks date back to the 13th century. But even before that, people were fascinated by the passing of time and tried making sense of it through sundials, water clocks and hourglasses. With the rise of wristwatches in the early 1900s, and especially after the invention of quartz and digital clocks and watches, the need for traditional mechanical clocks slowly started to dwindle, to a point where it’s often overlooked nowadays. Nevertheless, there’s a surprising number of very beautiful and highly interesting mechanical clocks still to be found for those who know where to look. One such offering comes from Maison Alcee, a young independent clockmaking start-up from France. And best of all, you can build the high-end Maison Alcee Percee cl

Young people from around the world, millennials who aren't supposed to even care about traditional (outdated') technology, are discovering a passion for mechanical wristwatches. And what's more, they are finding interesting ways to explore and develop their own ideas, leveraging the boom in crowdfunding to help them create their own products and brands, many of which offer genuinely interesting additions to an already crowded market.This seems all the more remarkable when you consider that none of these young creators has ever even had the need to wear a wristwatch, thanks largely to the advent of things like smartphones. Still, they are making the active choice to be a part of this world and to try and make a living from mechanical wristwatches. Today, we're speaking to one such individual, a young man from the USA by the name of Nick Harris. The Seiko fans among you might recognise Nic

Urban Jurgensen 1140RG - Hands-On Review (Specs & Price)
Every brand, at least those with a historical background, has?its own hallmarks, those unmistakable signs that create its?DNA, helping people to quickly identify a watch from a certain brand. For some, it is the shape of the case or a hand, for others it could be the complication used. For one brand, Urban Jurgensen, these are small details, however with such a level of execution that they deserve an entire story in this magazine – something that we’ll try to illustrate with the latest addition to the catalogue, the superb 1140RG in Rose Gold with a dark brown dial.The?Urban Jurgensen reference 1140 is a watch that we already covered here, when the brand unveiled a stunning?platinum version, with blue dial and applied Breguet numerals (yes, in this case, the name Breguet doesn’t only refer to the manufacture but also to the shape of the numerals, which have been widely used in the watch industry). In this case, we refer to the classical version of this watch, with a t
