Precision reaches new heights with the presentation of the Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer Tourbillon.?

Introducing: The Nomos Tangente Neomatik Update 41 For Wempe
With the much-awaited summer season right around the corner, many of us tend to lean towards a more refreshing colour palette in our watches. In the first half of this year, we have seen plenty of fun and exciting new tones of colour being used, with a few shades that really stood out to us.

After the gold collection introduced earlier this week, it is time to look at the other side of the price range, with the?Omega Seamaster Olympic Games Collection – some nice, colourful, entry-level sports watches inspired by the?Olympic Flag and vintage stopwatches.This?Omega Seamaster Olympic Games Collection is not dedicated per se to the 2018 Olympic Games, even if it will be launched almost coinciding with the official start of PyeongChang 2018.
