Introducing: The Gubelin Ipsomatic, Designed by Architect Santiago Calatrava
If you’re into watches, then the name Gubelin should sound familiar –? you’ll probably first think about double-signed vintage Patek Philippe watches, once retailed by this house. Indeed, Gubelin is, first and foremost, a jeweller and watch retailer which has been in the business for over 150 years in Switzerland. Today, Gubelin returns to making watches under its own name, bringing back a historical name – the Ipsomatic – with a watch that’s been designed by world-famous architect Santiago Calatrava and powered by vintage automatic movements. A fine watch with expressive design, let’s discover it.?A vintage, circa 1950s Gubelin Ipso Matic watch – image by thisiswatchable.comGubelin was created in 1854 and has been one of the most respected Swiss watch retailers ever since.

Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer Regulator // Hands-On, Price
The Senator Chronometer Regulator made its debut in 2013 but can trace its layout all the way back to the 1870s when the tiny Saxon town of Glashutte was an important purveyor of precision chronometers and other timekeeping instruments like regulator clocks. Let's take a closer look at the Senator Chronometer Regulator in red gold and see how a historic precision regulator display can add a refreshing twist to a classic Senator.Marine Chronometers and RegulatorsGlashutte, the cradle of Germany's watchmaking industry, is proud of its history, and rightly so. As a thriving centre of production following Ferdinand Lange's establishment of a watch factory in 1845, the town welcomed watchmakers to establish itself as a true production hub. Two specialities to emerge from the workshops of Glashutte were marine chronometers and regulator clocks. We recently reviewed the Senator Chronometer and its evocation of historic marine chronometers. However,? for a chronometer to provide accurate time
The Ultramarine Beluga Dive Watch (Specs & Price)
Dive watches have been a hot item since “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” hit the TV screens worldwide over 50 years ago, and rare is the watch company that does not offer a diver’s model. Within one price category, they often share a similar design, performance characteristics are usually on the level, and should you scrape off the brand name, they are the same when laid out in front of you on the table. So, what do you do? You search for something different, something that offers a little extra or strikes a chord. And the search may lead you to the Beluga, the dive watch that Ultramarine added recently to its short list of models.Lionel Bruneau, the founder of the young brand Ultramarine, explains that at one point, he decided to make 100% Swiss watches under his own brand name as he was not satisfied with the market offering of Swiss Made – with a requirement of only 60% of the components’ value to be of a Swiss origin. The Morse and Albatros, th
The New Dial Colours Of The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony
As the world's oldest watch manufacturer in continuous production since 1755, Vacheron Constantin can be proud of its distinguished heritage. With a rich archive at its disposition, the brand can dip into over two and a half centuries for inspiration. The Patrimony collection made its debut in 2004 and turned its gaze back to the elegant minimalism of the 1950s for inspiration, particularly the 1957 ref. 6179 characterised by its slim, round case, slender bezel and understated styling. A balance between the rounded curves and taut lines distinguishes the collection that proposes three refreshed models for 2024. While the specifications of the Patrimony Manual-Winding and Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date remain almost untouched, the novelties are the incorporation of a new silver-toned dial, a smaller case size for the manual-winding model and a refreshing palette of strap colours.Although the brand describes the new dial colour as an old-silver-toned colour, the press photographs i
