Introducing: The New Longines HydroConquest GMT Collection
Launched in 2007, the HydroConquest is Longines' answer to a contemporary dive watch with all the features of a resilient 300m water-resistant diving instrument at an accessible price. Apart from its practical features for divers, for many non-professional divers, the solidity of a dive watch makes it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures. The good news is that Longines is upping the functionality of the HydroConquest with the incorporation of a practical GMT complication. With its redesigned 41mm case and bracelet and new anti-magnetic in-house calibre, the HydroConquest GMT makes its debut with four attractive dial colours.As one of Switzerland's oldest (founded in 1832) and most respected brands, it might not come as a surprise that Longines had developed a wristwatch with multiple time zone functions as early as 1925. GMT watches allow you to consult the time simultaneously in two different time zones, usually local and home time. This very watch is the spiritual inspiration b

History of the Patek Philippe Calatrava Part 2 - Important Models Through Time - Monochrome Watches
Yesterday, we brought you Part. 1 of our History of the Patek Philippe Calatrava, looking back at where it all began: the Reference 96. That original 1932 model has become a design icon, not to mention the basis on which every other Calatrava reference has been modelled. Emphasising the Bauhaus concept of form follows function, the original Ref. 96 provided the blueprint for the ultimate dress watch, a blueprint that been replicated many, many times by both Patek Philippe and other brands. Today, we're taking a closer look at some of the notable Calatrava models that followed the Ref. 96, models that themselves have gone on to become extremely collectible. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, just the ones we thought to be the most emblematic, so please free to add any significant models you personally love in the comments below, and the reasons why they are important to you.Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 565 and Ref. 570 The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 570As perfectly proport

Bamford x Badgerworks TAG Heuer Carrera Tropical Coffee Dial
Let’s say that this watch won’t be everybody’s cup of tea… maybe some of you won’t find it brew-tiful… Maybe, this watch will make you feel mugged? Indeed, thanks to these (not-so-profound) puns, you’ll get the point with this watch, which is the rather special result of a collaboration between customizer Bamford Watch Department and luminescent materials specialist Black Badger (a.k.a James Thompson), who wanted to create their own tropical coffee-coloured dial. So they took it literally and created a dial made… of ground coffee.?The base for this new Bamford x Badgerworks piece is nothing new or special, as we’re talking about a relatively accessible and simple TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5, a well-established sports watch of 41mm with the signature design of the collection and powered by the automatic Calibre 5 – a Sellita SW 220-1 or ETA 2824. However, we’re talking about Bamford Watch Department and Badgerworks, two c
