David Candaux 1740 "The First 8" - The heart and soul of the Vallee de Joux - Monochrome Watches
Welcome in the heart and soul of independent watchmaking from the Vallee de Joux, yet with a modern eye A few weeks ago, we met with one of the most interesting surprises from Baselworld 2017, the 1740 The first 8 - and of course with its creator, David Candaux. See what hand-made and creative watchmaking mean!The name David Candaux could potentially sound familiar to some of you, as he has been the behind-the-scene architect of some spectacular developments, for several prominent brands. He worked several years for Jaeger-LeCoultre and then, he started a new career as an independent movement designer. In this role he was involved in several watch developments, however always anonymous and behind the scenes. When he was a child, David was thinking that he would become an accomplished watchmaker only once he would design and make his own timepieces, by his hands. This time has come and, to say the least, David is a very talented watchmaker.? Ad - Scroll to continue with artic

First Look: The new Oris Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 38mm
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five resurfaced in 2015, fifty years after its inaugural splash. Leaning on the design cues of its ancestor, the revisited Divers Sixty-Five oozed vintage pedigree. Although the looks of the first models were faithful to their ancestor, the watch was built with contemporary materials and powered by an outsourced movement (Sellita). The Divers Sixty-Five collection soared in popularity and appeared with different case sizes and materials and a more contemporary face. However, the breakthrough came in 2022 when Oris fitted the Divers Sixty-Five with its in-house calibre 400. Oris has been listening closely to its customers, and its latest move is bound to please fans with its 38mm case, its calibre 400 movement and – wait for it – the elimination of the date window.The first model in the Divers Sixty-Five family to benefit from the brand's calibre 400 was a 40mm model with a date window at 6 o'clock and a 12-hour scale on the bezel. A few weeks ago, we c

Hands-On With The Official Rubber Straps For The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
In just a couple of years, it seems Tissot has stepped up its game immensely, by introducing new and very handsome collections across the board. The brand has always been a strong performer in the more accessible market, but today the value for money in its watches often seems off the charts. Just think of watches like the Gentlemen, the new Le Locle or the Telemeter 1938. And of course, everybody’s favourite, the PRX collection! They all look very good, have a more than decent level of finishing and use impressive mechanical movements. And best of all, the prices have remained sensible! What’s not to like? Zooming in on the PRX, the lack of strap versatility perhaps? Well, that’s about to change as Tissot now brings rubber straps to the PRX Powermatic 80 party!It has been a long time coming, relatively speaking, but Tissot is finally giving the people what it wants; more versatility. While the PRX has been a huge success for the brand, up until recently it was only a
