Our recap of the Geneva Watch Days through 5 watches
We’ve just finished bombarding you with news coming from Switzerland’s capital of watchmaking, Geneva, for the entire week as the 2022 edition of Geneva Watch Days returned to the shores of Lac Leman. And it’s perfectly understandable if, at some point, you felt overwhelmed by it all as there were more than 20 brands participating in this year’s celebration of watchmaking. All this meant more watches, appointments and moments of sheer joy seeing and handling novelties. So with that in mind, here’s a retrospective of the event through five watches we feel really stood out!BUlgari Octo FInissimo Skeleton 8 DaysWe’ve said it in the hands-on article we published early this week, and we’ll happily repeat it: the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days might not be a record-breaking entry in the Octo Finissimo saga, but it is a very imposing watch nonetheless. The signature square case, this time around constructed in rose gold with a 40mm diameter an
First Look: The New Cartier Santos Dual Time
It makes perfect sense for the world's first custom-made pilot's wristwatch to be equipped with a dual-time function. Fair enough, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont probably didn't cross too many time zones in his early flying machines, but combining the iconic Santos watch designed for him by Louis Cartier with dual time indications is a match made in heaven. Not to be confused with the Santos-Dumont?lineup of slimmer, flatter and more elegant models inspired by the historic 1904 original, this Santos de Cartier novelty belongs to the revamped 2018 family. The latest Cartier Santos Dual Time, often described as Cartier's vision of a luxury sports watch, is the first member of the contemporary Santos family to receive a dual time complication.Displaying iconic Cartier Roman numerals, a railway minutes track and sword-shaped hour and minute hands, the dial has an elegant anthracite colour with a silky sunray-brushed finish. To stand out against the grey dial, the Roman numerals ar
Cartier's superb design - Monochrome Watches
This morning i read a post about Cartier and i just want to share it. I was blown away by the Cartier’s respect for their own design heritage. I’ve yet to see another brand that is so consistent in their design throughout several product lines… and it’s done with a lot of attention for detail.The photo shows the Cartier Tortue Mono-poussoir with matching Tortue belt buckle and the classic Three-knots cufflinks.

Introducing IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition Hot Wheels IW377904
When you say pilot’s watch and IWC, you might have jet fighters, Top Gun or Spitfire in mind. Meaning, anything related to planes and aviation. But the Schaffhausen-based brand has decided to slightly enlarge the concept and to use the pilot’s collection also for anything related to motorsport, including of course the long-lasting relation with Mercedes-AMG and Lewis Hamilton, but also to the brand’s motorsport team, IWC Racing. On the occasion of the 78th Goodwood Members' Meeting this weekend, IWC and Hot Wheels celebrate the return to Goodwood with a new limited edition, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition IWC x Hot Wheels IW377904. While the brand has been mostly communicating recently on its Pilot’s Watch collection, and by that we mean all things related to aviation, there’s more to IWC’s range of watches than airplanes. In fact, the world of automotive design and motor racing has long been a key element for I
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time 7900V - Pre-SIHH 2018 (Specs & Price)
This week, Vacheron Constantin is previewing one of the new additions it will be making to its popular Overseas collection in 2018, aptly named the Overseas Dual Time. Due to be officially launched at SIHH 2018, the Manufacture took the opportunity to get its new model in front of serious collectors from the Middle East (and further abroad) who attend the Dubai Watch Week event each year. Inside is the new Vacheron Constantin Caliber 5110 DT, which allows for the simultaneous reading of two time-zones, hence the name of the watch. A standard complication no doubt, but one that has been noticeably missing from the collection of this luxury sports watch.Up until now, if you wanted a Vacheron Constantin Overseas with the ability to display a second time-zone, your only option was the Overseas World Time. Nothing wrong with that of course, it is a beautiful watch after all with an excellent complication but perhaps not suited to everyone's tastes for daily wear. The new Overseas Dual Time,
