Introducing The Urwerk UR-102 Reloaded, A Tribute To The Past
Urwerk‘s co-founders Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei first discussed their ideas for a new piece back in 1995 and officially founded the company in 1997. That same year, they launched the UR-101 and UR-102 watches at Baselworld, sci-fi-inspired creations with wandering hours running on a semi-circular minute track at the top. Recently, these two simple yet visually striking models have soared in popularity. The time has come for the brand to travel back in time and present its first vintage re-edition, the UR-102 Reloaded, launched as a boxed set containing its two versions.Along with the other inaugural model, the 101, the UR-102 is considered a foundation piece, a watch that sealed the beginning of Urwerk’s adventure and marked the starting point. A round watch with a neo-futuristic look, the UR-102 is rather shy compared to the contemporary creations of Baumgartner and Frei, but it introduced the most important feature of them all, the arched window with the time displ

Introducing: The New Hublot Big Bang Unico Full Magic Gold
When the term “Big Bang” is mentioned, it can evoke different associations for different people. For many people, it may bring to mind the popular American television sitcom that aired from 2007 to 2019, while watch enthusiasts might immediately think of the Hublot Big Bang, a collection that has become synonymous with the brand since its introduction in 2005. Additionally, there’s Georges Lema?tre, the Belgian cosmologist and father of the Big Bang theory, who proposed the idea of the universe’s expansion originating from a single particle explosion. However, today we focus on Hublot’s recent unveiling of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Full Magic Gold, a 2023 edition that showcases the brand’s grandeur and innovative use of materials.In 2015, Hublot celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang with the release of the Big Bang Unico Full Magic Gold. This special timepiece featured Hublot’s scratch-resistant magic gold and housed the proprietary U

Introducing Citizen Tsuyosa, Accessible Automatics with Integrated Bracelet
The concept of the sporty-chic watch, also named luxury sports watch – that of the integrated steel watch of the 1970s made popular by AP and Genta with the Royal Oak – is hotter than ever, with interpretations found in all segments of the industry. Recently, we’ve seen serious entry-level brands entering the race, with Tissot and its PRX stealing the show. There’s now a new and very well-armed contender on the field, a new sporty-chic automatic watch with integrated bracelet coming from Japan, with an unbeatable price… Meet the new Citizen Tsuyosa Collection.This new Citizen Tsuyosa Collection isn’t the brand’s first entry into the luxury sports watch race. Indeed, two important models are to be mentioned.

Review Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT 79470 (Live Pics, Specs & Price)
Since the introduction of two important watches within the Tudor collection, namely the Black Bay GMT and the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, the watch community has been asking for a mix of the two concepts. Basically, a Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight GMT. Tudor responded but decided to spice things up a little bit. And the result is this watch, the Tudor Black Bay Pro. Yes, it’s 39mm like the BB58. And yes, it has a GMT function, like the BB Pepsi. But no, it’s not just a simple blend of these two. The BB Pro is fairly different, pretty cool and very much a tool watch that can do it all. And, at least to me, it really is one of the best instrument watches I’ve seen this year. But being a fan of the Explorer II (older models, of course, not the huge modern versions), this watch somehow speaks to me. Even though we’ll see, it isn’t perfect either.?If I had to sum it up, the new Tudor Black Bay Pro is the perfect adventure watch. It’s robust and legible; it featu
