Recap: The Best of High-Complication at Watches and Wonders 2024
Today, we are ending our series of recap articles focused on the best new watches presented during Watches and Wonders 2024 and Geneva Watch Week (we’ve looked at dive watches, chronographs, dress watches or GMT models)… And what’s better to take a look back at some of the show’s most impressive, technically advanced and innovative models? We could have listed watches like the Bovet Recital 28 or the Monaco Split-Seconds, but both made it to other lists. Here, what matters is the art of watchmaking, whether it’s about breaking records, improving an important complication or making things thinner than ever before. Here’s the best of high-complication at the 2024 Geneva week.A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon LumenLange's impressive triple-complication, a.k.a the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, isn’t really new as we’ve seen it already in platinum with a black dial and in white gold with a salmon/rose gold dial. However, th

The delectable Studie Underd0g Strawberries & Cream
Studio Underd0g brings some much-needed fun and light-heartedness to the watch scene. As a one-man, one-product microbrand, British designer Richard Benc decided to follow his instincts and inject some fun colours into watchmaking combined with excellent design and manual-winding chronograph movements produced by Seagull. Teaming up with watch and tennis journalist Miguel Seabra, the latest Studio Underd0g watch is this delectable Strawberries & Cream chronograph, a colour combination designed to evoke lazy days in the summer sun watching Wimbledon with a bowl of strawberries and cream. The watch will be available for pre-orders from the 9th-16th of August and then whisked out of production.Tennis watchesForget about the big luxury brands that kit out famous tennis wrists with ludicrously priced watches represented by alliances like Roger Federer and , Rafa Nadal and Richard Mille or Serena Williams and Audemars Piguet. There are also tennis-themed watches for the rest of the worl

Hands-On - Chopard Mille Miglia 2019 Race Edition (Specs & Price)
Chopard celebrates 31 years of partnership with the Mille Miglia endurance race this May. One of the longest-standing alliances in the world of classic motorsport, the event is celebrated with the release of two limited edition Mille Miglia watches; one in stainless steel and the other in two-tone steel and rose gold case. We introduced the steel version just before Baselworld 2019, but seeing both models in the metal proved a very different - and agreeable – experience.Brescia to Rome and backThe 2019 edition of Italy's legendary Mille Miglia endurance race starts on 15 May as 430 vehicles complete the 1,000-mile loop from Brescia to Rome and back. The four stages of the endurance race will take participants through some of Italy's most scenic countryside and towns pushing the limits of their historic vehicles, which as regulations stipulate, have to be models that took part in the 1000 Miglia between 1927 to 1957.

Introducing Patek Philippe Calatrava "Clous de Paris" 6119 Hand-Wound
The Patek Philippe Calatrava is a horological icon that deserves little to no introduction. Presented in 1932 under reference 96, the model is seen by many as the ultimate dress watch. Among the countless versions of the Calatrava, the Clous de Paris has turned into a Patek Philippe trademark since its introduction on the bezel of the reference 96D in 1934. Fast forward to modern days, the emblematic reference 3919 was introduced in 1985 and has often been regarded as the quintessential Calatrava. This unapologetically elegant 33mm dress watch was powered by the micro-rotor calibre 215. The reference 5119 introduced in 2006 was slightly larger at 36mm. It’s now time for the model to reinvent itself with a larger, modernized version. Meet the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119 and its new hand-wound calibre.The classic look of the Calatrava, as known for years, with the Clou de Paris bezel.

Introducing The Black/Yellow MeisterSinger Astroscope Limited Edition
When you think about a day-date watch, you probably picture this kind of display?or maybe something a bit more complex but still highly traditional. But as we’ve discovered, MeisterSinger doesn’t like doing things that other brands do. First, all of the watches produced by the German brand use a mono-aiguille or single-hand display to indicate the time, with or without additional complications. And for its day-date watch, MeisterSinger decided to go for a display that pays tribute to astronomy, which in the latest limited edition of this MeisterSinger Astroscope is enlivened with a vivid black and yellow colour scheme.This new limited edition Astroscope uses the same technical base as all previous editions, such as the standard production model here or this version celebrating the?20th Anniversary of the brand. This means a 40mm stainless steel watch with a domed sapphire crystal, a decent water-resistance of 50m and an outsourced, slightly modified Sellita SW220-1 movement
