Introducing DWISS M3W Wandering Hour 10th Anniversary Limited Edition
Wandering hours are gaining traction in the affordable (midrange) segment with brands like Gorilla and Xeric launching intriguing models. The unusual complication has most often been reserved for luxury pieces like the Urwerk UR-100V T-Rex and Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Capitole, but attainable modules have levelled the playing field a bit. DWISS entered the game last year with the RW1 and its two-disc wandering hours display. The new DWISS M3W Wandering Hour is an evolution of their M3 Watch (which had an unusual displaced time dial) and features a three-disc wandering hours setup.?Like the tourbillon, wandering hours is an old concept, developed in the 1600s for clocks (initially for the Pope as the rumour goes). However, it wasn't adapted for a wristwatch until 1991 with the Star Wheel by Audemars Piguet. So, from a modern perspective, it's only 30 years old.

What you’re about to see might just be a simple change of material, but it is nevertheless great news – not only because the watch looks superb, not only because the price is significantly lower but also because it is a great strategic choice. When it was introduced back in 2015, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 was an immediate success. Available in platinum or in pink gold until now, today it makes its debut in the hottest of all materials: Steel!Steel… It is surprising to see how ambivalent this material is. For most watches, steel is the sensible, rational choice of material; it is much more accessible than any other material, it is solid, it is resistant to external aggressions, and it is easy to machine and finish. In short, a no-nonsense choice driven by pragmatism. But that’s for the masses… When it comes to high-end watches, steel is the exception. When it comes to non-sports watches, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin or

And since the 2019 edition is happening right now, let’s head to our “Petrolhead Corner” for some Goodwood fun.What is Goodwood FoS…? Everything that happens at Goodwood results from the dream of one man, Charles Gordon-Lennox, known in the automotive world as Lord March. As a young aristocrat, March was living the life of a London playboy, passionate about photography and films. As heir to the Goodwood family estate in West Sussex, and as a true blue-blooded British gentleman, he knew that traditions were important and so from that time onwards, the Charles
