Last year, when unveiling its new pilot’s collection at the SIHH 2019, IWC also announced its partnership with a very cool project named “The Longest Flight”. On 5 August 2019, British pilots Matt Jones and Steve Boultbee Brooks embarked on their flight around the world in an antique, restored Spitfire plane. This was the occasion for IWC to unveil a dedicated timepiece, the Timezoner Spitfire Edition “The Longest Flight”. And now that the mission is accomplished and the world tour completed, the brand introduces the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Big Date Spitfire Edition “Mission Accomplished” Ref.

News: The F1-Themed Tudor Black Bay Ceramic Blue, Now Available to the Public
A few months ago, just ahead of the 2024 Formula 1 season, Tudor announced a rather unexpected partnership, signing its return in motorsport. The brand indeed announced its official partnership with Red Bull’s second team, Visa Cash App RB Formula One team, with drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda behind the wheel. Only a couple of days later, we spotted Ricciardo during an official photoshoot with something quite special on the wrist… An unprecedented Black Bay Ceramic with a Visa Cash App blue dial. What we thought would remain a so-called “team watch” is now officially available to the public. Here’s the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic Blue.Following multiple important sports partnerships, such as the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, Inter Milan?or Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition, Tudor is once again releasing a themed watch… But this one, as said in the introduction, isn’t entirely new. It is indeed the same watch as drivers Yuki and Daniel wear aroun
Kickstarter Project: The super cool bullheads chronograph from Stuckx Watches - Monochrome-Watches
1970s… This decade?was an ode to creativity and to freedom – and sometimes also to bad tastes. At that time, Lamborghini launched the?Countach, the Bee Gees were singing Saturday Night Fever and?Georges Lucas shot Star Wars. However, we’ve also seen the arrival of psychedelic and?extremely coloured?wallpapers and?platform shoes. In terms of watches, there were some strange UFOs so-called the?bullheads, a sort of reverse chronographs with the pushers and the crown at 12. This look was ugly for some years, but they are now back in vogue and becoming cool again – and we found a solution to have new ones with great look, nice?movement and affordable price. It’s called the ‘The Bull’ by Stuckx?and it’s a Kickstarter project you really have to consider.“Stuckx?presents, a story so intense it produces?a watch too hard for this small screen: THE BULL“… Before starting explaining you about this watch, just take a look at this sho
Interview - Mike Horn, Explorer & Panerai Ambassador, during SIHH 2019
Sometimes in life one is privileged enough to have an interaction which inspires so deeply, it forces you to question your personal output to its deepest level. I was fortunate enough to have one of these, last week in Geneva, with Mike Horn. For those unfamiliar with the man, Mike is a record-setting explorer, sailor and environmentalist, originally from South Africa, and now living in Switzerland.?Without recounting each and every one of his epic journeys, a few need to be celebrated: he has sailed around the world 14 times in the last ten years; he swam the Amazon River solo and has circumnavigated the globe unassisted; he walked to the North Pole during the dark season (more people have been to the Moon) and has scaled the world's 8,000-metre peaks, including a recent attempt to paraglide K2. But most importantly, Mike is a tremendously energetic, charismatic, friendly gentleman. We sat down to discuss his upbringing, his passion for the wild, his drive to push the limits, and of c
