Gerald Charles GC Sport Titanium (Hands-On, Price)
As we’ve explained in the past already, the name Gerald Charles might not be as familiar as Gerald Genta, but they actually belong to the same man. And behind the name Gerald Charles is an independent watchmaker that aims at reviving the spirit of the watches designed by the genius man in the mid-2000s. Something that we’ve demonstrated by looking at several editions of the signature Maestro watch, and specifically at the Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin. And now that you have this watch in mind, you can see that the new Gerald Charles GC Sport is part of the same family of watches… But there are important differences to be explained, and it has to do with the ability to take this unique design to unprecedented levels of sportiness. But without compromising anything regarding proportions and elegance.BackgroundGerald Charles Genta (1931-2011) is known as one of the most prolific designers of the watchmaking industry and his unique touch has cemented the future of so many icons.

DOXA Sub 300 Carbon Professional - Dive Watch Review (Specs & Price)
In the world of dive watches, you would be hard-pressed to find a brand with more history or pedigree than DOXA. From the 1930s all the way to the quartz crisis in the 1980s, they built a brand around a singular focus on the purpose-built tool watch, attracting the attention of both the superstars of the dive world and the everyday hobbyists alike.

Just Because: The Uber-Comfortable And Durable Stripa Strap
It’s not often we venture into the world of watch accessories, so when we do, you can be assured it’s a product we stand by. A couple of months ago we were approached by a man called Peter B¨¢lint Sinka, who started a company called Stripa Strap. With the clue being somewhat hidden in plain sight given the name, we are looking at yet another watch strap company. But in all honesty, I was very intrigued when I dug a little deeper and saw what was on offer. So, talking to Sinka for a bit, I ordered one, strapped it to my trusty Tudor Black Bay 79220N, and took it for a little spin! And without getting ahead of myself too much, I can honestly say this is the most comfortable strap I have ever experienced!Peter B¨¢lint Sinka and his wife, Klaudia Tisza, founded Stripa Strap in 2023 after spending a couple of years developing an idea into an actual product. Developing and designing something from the ground up is no easy thing and takes time, money and determination. The whole ide
