The Full Yellow Gold Chopard Alpine Eagle 41
The Chopard Alpine Eagle, a direct descendant of the slightly baroque St. Moritz model of the 1980s, was resurrected and modernised to reflect contemporary tastes. Since its revival, we’ve seen the Alpine Eagle expand to become an entire collection with a tourbillon,?an extra-large chronograph or a compact feminine version, as well as many colours or material combinations. And now, there’s a new, far more flamboyant model in the range, one that captures the original Midas temperament of the watch: the new yellow gold Chopard Alpine Eagle 41.?The Chopard Alpine Eagle is a true family affair. The predecessor of this watch, the 1980s St. Moritz watch (named after a high-end ski resort in Switzerland), was designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele when he started working at the company directed by his father – it was actually his first project. Of course, with the evolution of tastes, the concept of this sporty-chic, slightly baroque and flamboyant watch went out of style, and
First Look: The new Stowa Flieger Original (Incl. Video Review)
Stowa is, without a doubt, one of the most legitimate brands when it comes to Flieger watches. Founded by Walter Storz in 1927 and currently headquartered in Pforzheim, Germany, it is now part of the Tempus Arte group, which also owns Lang & Heyne. But importantly, Stowa was one of only five manufacturers allowed to construct so-called B-Uhren, or Beobachtungsuhren, along with A. Lange & Sohne, Laco, Wempe and IWC. As such, it’s only normal that the brand continues this tradition and currently offers a wide range of pilot watches. But today, with its latest launch, the Stowa Flieger Original, the brand might well be releasing one of its most authentic re-editions.?With close to a century of watchmaking history and as one of the original five brands to build B-uhr watches, it's only natural that the collection still lives on in Stowa's arsenal today. The brand offers it in many styles and materials, but the clear-cut design of the original is always respected. And this new

First Look: The New Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad
At this year’s Geneva edition of Watches & Wonders, Ulysse Nardin is introducing a new version of its Freak S with aesthetic updates that make the ingenious, complex, unorthodox watch even more compelling. Introduced by Ulysse Nardin in 2001 under the visionary leadership of the late Rolf Schnyder, the original Freak sparked a wave of experimentation among independent watchmakers and laid a crucial foundation for the brand’s enduring legacy. The many subsequent releases have maintained the essence of the Freak, yet among this lineage, the Freak S, unveiled in 2022, emerges as a standout. Arguably the most compelling iteration since its early days, the Freak S embodies all the defining characteristics of its predecessors while introducing impressive new elements. Its design reflects a cosmically up-to-date sensibility, exemplified by the striking new Freak S Nomad edition.The new Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad debuts in a titanium case with an anthracite PVD-coated titanium

Since then, both names have been synon
