Trends come and go, and we see the same happening in the watchmaking industry. Retro is still very much hot, so it’s only natural multiple brands dive into their archives and see what can be brought back to life one way or another. Other brands might rather take a prised baby into new directions by pairing together new materials and colours. With these ebb and flow movements of the industry, however, some surprising styles pop up every now and then. Until not too long ago yellow gold was often seen as too flashy, too outspoken a material, but it seems it has broken those shackles again, and is on the up and up! So with that in mind, we once more take a look at six full yellow-gold watches to satisfy your inner Gordon Gekko.piaget polo 79In what is a celebratory year for both the Polo (45 years) and Piaget itself (150 years), the party kicks off with this superb Polo 79.

Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Bronze Midnight Blue
In just over a couple of years, Norqain has demonstrated a rather impressive coherence in its collections and also quite a rapid expansion. Right from the beginning, the brand even announced partnering with Kenissi, a renowned Swiss movement manufacturer (also working for Tudor, Chanel or Breitling), propelling them straight in a more high-end league.

Technical Guide - The Difference Between Office GMT and Travel GMT Watches

Dozens of functions can be added to a watch, but few are as practical in real life as the GMT or dual time complication. A true blue-collar complication, on the same level as the chronograph or the diving bezel (something that can’t be said about an equation of time), there isn’t, however, just one type of GMT watch.
