IWC Big Pilot's Watch Edition Right-Hander IW501012 (Specs & Price)
Because 90% of the population is right-handed, there’s a convention that watches have to be worn on the left wrist… And that explains why the crown is positioned at 3 o’clock (on most watches, of course). There are exceptions to the rule, though, with so-called “right-hander” or “lefty” watches. Not so common, practical for left-handers and cool for others! Hence the raison d’¨ºtre of IWC‘s latest limited edition of its iconic pilot’s watch, the Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Right-Hander IW501012.This new Big Pilot’s Watch IW501012, limited to 250 pieces, takes most of the attributes of the classic Big Pilot and adds a certain dose of cool to the package… but also a great sense of practicality. Why, you ask? Well, in my case (with my small, 16.5cm wrist), the IWC Big Pilot’s is pretty uncomfortable, simply because the sharp diamond-shaped crown hurts me – due to both the size of the watch and its weigh

Introducing: Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT Zulu Time x Marine Nationale
Tudor‘s connection with military forces is no secret anymore. The most famous of these partnerships is, without a doubt, the co-creation of specific dive watches for the French Marine Nationale, which resulted in some of the most appealing mil-spec models ever made by Tudor. Revived in 2021 with the launch of the Pelagos FXD platform, initially developed with a French Navy specialist unit, the collection has since expanded with a black Pelagos FXD model, the Alinghi Red Bull Racing watches and the FXD Chrono Cycling Edition. Today, Tudor goes back to the roots of the collection with yet another collaboration with the Marine Nationale. But this time, it’s not a dive watch anymore, but a model dedicated to the French Naval Aviation, a pilot’s GMT watch that is known as the Pelagos FXD GMT Zulu Time.Just like mother brand , Tudor has long been involved with military forces. Following the creation of the Submariner in 1953, started to develop more accessible models und

Introducing The Corum Bubble 47 Central Tourbillon by Label Noir
The Bubble, brought to us by an extraordinary visionnaire and talented businessman, former Corum owner Severin Wunderman almost a quarter century ago, rarely ceased to amaze and kept us interested all these years. The Corum Bubble is still one of today’s most recognisable watch designs, satisfying the thirst for the exceptional.

Interview - Josh Shapiro on Becoming an Integrated American Manufacture
Josh Shapiro seems like an unlikely person to help restore traditional watchmaking in the United States. He started as a pole vault coach and a school teacher before becoming the administrator of a private school. Growing up in a machine shop gave him an appreciation for metals and working with his hands, and a flashy Chronoswiss Opus poster in a local shop helped spark his interest in watchmaking. With some formal training, a lot of practice with ETA 6498 movements and a passion to work with his hands, Josh Shapiro began producing watch dials and found an industry legend as a mentor, David Walter. Now in a new atelier in Inglewood, California, Josh produces luxury, custom pieces and is putting the final touches on an in-house, hand-wound calibre with a tourbillon moon phase also in the works. His current collection is called the Infinity Series.?Josh Shapiro with an antique engine turning machineJ.N. Shapiro employs two additional watchmakers as Josh also continues his role as a schoo
