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

Introducing: The Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm "Taste of Summer" Capsule
Summer is in the air, and the holiday season is just around the corner. As a brand that has never been shy of colour, Oris proposes two watermelon-coloured models for its versatile Aquis Date 41.5mm dive watch. Perfect for outdoor activities but smart enough to wear daily, the Aquis Date collection was recently refreshed. The design tweaks applied to the Aquis Date collection introduced at Watches & Wonders earlier this year result in a more refined profile and a more comfortable wearer experience.While blue, green and black dials have been the predominant colours of the brand's Aquis Date collection since its launch in 2011, Oris stretched the colour palette with an eye-popping cherry red version in 2021 along with a multi-coloured mottled upcycled plastic dial. A year later, the Aquis Date 36.5mm appeared with colourful mother-of-pearl dials in tandem with the Cotton Candy Divers Sixty-Five bronze trilogy with shocking pink, green and baby blue dials.

Hands-On Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale 25707B
So yes, the news broke yesterday, the new and highly-anticipated Tudor watch made with the French Navy, or Marine Nationale?has been released. And naturally, the watch generated heated debate because there were a lot of expectations and wishes surrounding this model, and in the end, it probably wasn’t what some had in mind. So no, the new Tudor M.N. watch is not an evolution of the Black Bay 58. Not it’s not worn on a green elastic strap. And no, it’s not a proper vintage re-edition. What it is is actually quite interesting. It’s not a commercial watch per se, but it is a true military watch designed by and for combat divers – so yes, it marks the comeback of the mil-spec watch. And if some were surprised by some of the features (WR, bezel), once you get to see the watch in the metal and try to look beyond its looks, it all makes a lot of sense. So, without further developments, let’s look at what this new Tudor Pelagos FXD ref. 25707B Marine Nationa

MIH Ga?a Watch - Monochrome Watches
The abbreviation MIH probably doesn’t mean much to most of our readers, except to our hardcore watch enthusiasts (or WIS, which stands for Watch Idiot Savant – another horological abbreviation) who will immediately recognize the acronym. MIH stands for Musee International d’Horlogerie and during the time that Mr Ludwig Oechslin was the curator of the museum, he introduced the MIH Watch. A portion of the proceeds goes to the museum to fund special restoration projects. And now there’s a new MIH Watch called the MIH Ga?a Watch.?The first MIH Watch has been appreciated by watch collectors and enthusiasts from all over the planet. It was sort of a love child of Ludwig Oechslin, Paul Gerber and Christian Gafner. The latter designed the watch, while Oechslin created the annual calendar on top of a Valjoux 7750 chronograph and independent watchmaker Gerber rearranged the chronograph’s actuators and levers for it to become a monopusher chronograph. While that firs

Metiers D'Art are deeply ingrained in Vacheron Constantin's tradition. At SIHH 2017, the Geneva-based Manufacture is introducing a collection in tribute to Nicolaus Copernicus, the Polish mathematician and astronomer who heralded a scientific revolution, putting forward the theory of heliocentrism, overturning all existing beliefs. Three different versions bring different interpretations of the theme into three expressions of exceptional craftsmanship - all powered by a movement animating a fascinating reproduction of the earth’s rotations around the sun.The first version of the Copernicus Celestial Spheres watch boasts a champleve grand feu enamel dial drawing inspiration from an astronomical map of the Copernican system as drawn by Andreas Cellarius. The second dial is hand-engraved with the signs of the zodiac intertwined and overlapping on a white gold disc. The third dial combines laser engraving and hand-engraving on sapphire crystal.
