Raymond Weil releases a new model in the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection, the Jumping Hour. Watches with jumping hours exist since 1830 but it took until 1921 before the first wrist watches with this complication was available.Raymond Weil is one of those watch brands that somehow does not get that much attention on the internet. While their availability in AD’s (at least in Western Europe) is much better that brands like , Jaeger LeCoultre or Omega that do get much online attention.Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Jumping HourWell, for the internet community they don’t make it any easier, as their most prestigious collection has a name that takes ages to type… the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection.

Introducing The Chopard L.U.C Full Strike In Blue Sapphire
Six years ago, the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike was awarded the Aiguille d'Or prize at the GPHG, thus becoming the proud bearer of the best watch of the year title. Introduced in 2016, the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike was the first minute repeater produced by the manufacture, and it was a timepiece worthy of the highest praise, for it was a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, exhibiting exceptional construction, decoration, and a crystal-clear sound. Recently, L.U.C Full Strike became available in a new exclusive limited edition - in a blue sapphire case.The new Chopard L.U.C Full Strike Blue Sapphire is the evolution of the watch that the brand revealed last year, the L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire, with the 42.5 mm case, and crown with its integrated minute repeater pusher made of sapphire. The previous editions were available in cases crafted from ethical Fairmined 18k rose gold (2016) and ethical Fairmined 18k white gold (2018), and all these watches, the most recent edition included,
Introducing The New Hublot Watches of the LVMH Watch Week 2021
Today, three of the LVMH watch brands – Bvlgari, Hublot and Zenith – are releasing part of their new collections for 2021. As part of the novelties presented by Hublot this year, we have new takes on the Big Bang, with classic or complex movements, playing on materials and colours, as well as a new women's watch. Let's get an overview of the 2021 Hublot watches.Big Bang Integral Ceramic in new ColoursThe trend for watches with integrated bracelets is showing no sign of abating. Following this trend, Hublot unveiled the Big Bang Integral last year at the LVMH Watch Week 2020. The model can be distinguished from other Big Bang watches by its three-link bracelet integrated into the 42mm case. Following the already existing black ceramic version, Hublot now launches the Big Bang Integral in three new ceramic colours; white, navy blue and grey. The watch is powered by the latest version of the in-house Unico column-wheel automatic chronograph. Qu
A different perspective on the Bovet Monsieur Bovet Turquoise
In a world that seemingly goes mental from time to time, it's worth trying to keep a clear focus on things. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany is out of reach for pretty much all of us, and prices for the Oyster Perpetual with Turquoise dials have been pushed to ridiculous heights. The watch world tends to sway back and forth between reference numbers, colours, materials, complications and whatever you can differentiate in a watch. With Turquoise blue (or Tiffany if you will) gearing up fast to become one of 2022's hottest colours, it made me wonder what alternatives are out there. One such watch is the recently introduced Bovet Monsieur Bovet Turquoise, a spectacular piece by the Swiss independent watchmaker.If we talk about colour, our Managing Editor has recently mentioned the shifting trend towards brighter, more frivolous colours. Along with various other watches, this Bovet follows that trend to the letter. It was presented a little while ago, even before the whole
