Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph with Minerva Chronograph Movement (Specs & Price)
Back in 2014, right after Jer?me Lambert was appointed CEO of the brand (and?who is now COO of almost all the Maisons at Richemont Group), Montblanc introduced the Heritage collection?– a line-up of classical, elegant watches with a clear vintage appeal, in both the design and the use of complications. There was some Minerva inspiration, yet with the usual “affordability” the brand is known for. Alongside the below-10k perpetual calendar (a watch that sounded like a blast at that time) was another watch, the?Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph,?and here, it’s not only inspired by Minerva, but features true Minerva watchmaking skills. Why talk about this watch today? Well, just look at the photos and you’ll understand. A throwback to this watch is for pleasure only…When he joined Montblanc in 2013, Lambert infused a new energy into the brand. First of all was the concept of “accessible luxury“, so dear to him (he started it at JLC, but re

Introducing: Ferdinand Berthoud Releases The Final Editions Of Its First Calibre
An octagonal case, a tourbillon movement with fusee-and-chain transmission and a pillar-based construction… The Chronometre FB 1 has played a major role in defining the identity of Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud. Released in 2015, it was the watch that marked the return of a glorious name, one of the most important of horology. Since the presentation of the collection, this series of watches was equipped with a demonstrative movement, combining constant force and anti-gravity devices (and a decoration done in the best possible way), the Calibre FB-T.FC. But it is now preparing to take a last bow, in the form of a final 38-piece edition presented for the first time with a round case; the Chronometre FB 2T.In 2015, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the co-president of Chopard and the President of Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud, somehow made one of his dreams come true; the resurrection of one of the most important historical names of horology. His concept was to offer a contemporary visi

Hands-On - Cuervo y Sobrinos Buceador Caribe Collection (Specs & Price)

Warm, original, slightly flamboyant with a typical Latino vibe, the brand can’t be blamed for not being consensual. There is a true personality to these watches, and the brand’s latest models are not here to change that. Indeed, right in time for summer, Cuervo y Sobrinos has recently presented a new collection of aquatic models with a generous splash of colour and a design that is nothing like your usual Submariner-wannabe. Today, we’ll take a closer look at this new Buceador Caribe Collection.?Cuervo Y SobrinosCyS is unique in many ways, starting with its origins. Indeed, it is the only Swiss brand with Cuban roots. Established in Havana in 1882, the brand was revived in the late 1990s and has carved a niche with models that lean heavily on vintage design cues. The watches created by the brand play on t

News: TAG Heuer is back as Official Timekeeper for Formula 1 in 2025
In an unexpected move and with great noise, LVMH officialised a partnership that was rumoured to be closed for several weeks in October last year. Indeed, LVMH, the world's largest luxury conglomerate, officially signed on as a Global Partner of Formula 1 in a groundbreaking 10-year deal, with what was certainly one of the most important sports sponsorship deals ever. This was the big picture, as we knew the deal included brands like Vuitton and Mo?t Hennessy. Looking more closely, we knew already that the role of official timekeeper of F1, which?had been in the hands of since 2013, was about to stop,?too. And what we expected is now certain, as TAG Heuer has just announced its return as the Official Timekeeper for Formula 1 in 2025.?In our previous article covering the overall deal closed by LVMH, and even if there was no mention of this specific involvement in the group’s press release, we were practically sure that TAG Heuer would become once more the Official Timekeeper for
