Hands-On Gerald Genta Arena Mickey Mouse Playing Football
Swiss watch designer Gerald Genta was ahead of his time. The man who designed the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, singlehandedly kickstarting the extraordinarily coveted luxury sports watch genre, also anticipated another niche for watches inspired by characters borrowed from pop culture. When Genta decided to produce watches under his own name, he unleashed his more playful side and produced a series of ‘serious’ mechanical watches with Disney characters on the dial, including Mickey Mouse. Following the sold-out performance of the Gerald Genta Arena Retrograde Smiling Mickey released by Bulgari in 2021, Mickey Mouse is back for round two, this time kicking a football. A rare triple complication model with retrograde minutes, retrograde date and jumping hours, the Arena Bi-Retrograde Mickey Mouse is a treat reserved for just 200 fans of Genta, Mickey Mouse and football!When Gerald Met MickeyGerald Genta might not have been the first watchmaker to feature a Disney character, bu
Breitling Navitimer Blue Sky 60th Anniversary Limited Edition - Monochrome Watches
For the sixtieth anniversary of the Navitimer, Breitling releases the Blue Sky. This limited production of five hundred pieces celebrates what might be from the standpoint of versatility, THE pilot watch. The Navitimer is a timeless classic, and the Blue Sky upholds the tradition.It is impossible to think of the aviation chronograph's history without Breitling's iconic Navitimer, whose name is a contraction of navigation and timer. With the Navitimer, Breitling bred the ultimate in aviation functionality. Not only did Breitling work with its partners to develop the first automatic chronograph in 1969, but Breitling engineered the look and function of the modern chronograph: first with the side one-button in 1915, refined in 1923, and then with the side two-button in 1934, which separated start/stop and reset functions.

Hands-On - The Cartier Pebble Watch Re-Edition (Specs & Price)
Over the years, Cartier's singular perception of elegance and its mastery of shapes have remained the driving force behind the brand's design. The historic Parisian jeweller and watchmaker enjoys an unrivalled legacy in creating fascinating shaped watches. Classic round watches are extremely rare in the brand's collections, and round Cartier watches almost inevitably come with a twist, like the unapologetically elegant Cartier Pebble “Baseball” that has been recreated in a limited edition of 150 pieces to celebrate its 50th anniversary.Vintage Cartier models are all the rage these days. The latest Cartier on everyone's lips is the Pebble – also known as the Baseball. And while everyone now seems to be familiar with the model, it is actually a rare, rather obscure model designed by Cartier London in 1972. Still, the model has been reaching impressive prices at auction. One of the very rare known examples was hammered for CHF 403,000 by Phillips in 2021 in Geneva.?
The Record-Breaking 2023 Season Of The Formula 1 World Championship
I’m torn between considering the 2023 season of the Formula 1 World Championship good or bad for the sport. We saw utter dominance, where one team has won all but one race in the season, and specifically one driver declassing the entire field. And this to an extent we have never seen before and are likely never to see again. But what does that mean heading forward? Is it good or bad for F1 and its popularity down the line? I have no idea and I lack a crystal ball to predict the impact, but I can say this; the drivers behind?Max Verstappen gave us some really intense battles, and witnessing the level of perfection Max delivered race after race was unbelievable in its own right. And with that in mind, after 22 races all across the globe, it’s time to look back at the 2023 Formula 1 season.The class of 2023.It’s impossible to deny the impressive performance of both the Max Verstappen and the Red Bull team, but behind the sheer dominance there was tons of drama and excite
Video Review Longines Spirit Time-and-Date 40mm and 42mm
Longines is a brand with impressive legitimacy when it comes to pilot’s instruments. Think of Charles Lindbergh, or even the chronographs delivered to the US Army, the Avigation Watch Type A-7 1935 (recently reissued). The brand’s savoir-faire in this field is indisputable. Today, we’ll review a watch that isn’t a faithful re-edition of a glorious past model, but instead a modern creation with classic aviation inspiration. It forms part of a new and important collection for Longines that was introduced a few months ago, the Spirit – slightly vintage but not “Heritage”. And since it is available in a variety of models, we’ve decided to compare them so you’ll be able to decide which one is the best for you. Face to face, the Longines Spirit Time-and-Date 40mm and 42mm, with different colours and bracelets… And yes, these two are drastically different watches.As we explained in our introductory article, many explorers, pioneers a
