The absolutely stunning Thomas Prescher Nemo Repeater
It has been quiet regarding the work of independent master watchmaker Thomas Prescher, but things are about to kick into a higher gear. Following the news Thomas Prescher will be attending the Festival of Time event in Waterford, Ireland, we learned there's a new unique piece to be presented there for the first time. One that took three years to complete, primarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic but also due to the fact it uses a restored pocket watch movement from the year 1900! Not the easiest to work with, as it turned out, but Thomas Prescher is finally revealing this bespoke Nemo Repeater to the world.Thomas Prescher is not just any watchmaker, but an independent master watchmaker with 20 years of experience under his eponymous brand. Watchmaking has always been of interest to Thomas, and after finishing a six-year stint in the German Navy, it was due time to turn passion into a profession. He spent a year collecting dozens of clocks and watches to learn how to dismantle, repair and

Pre-Baselworld 2017 - Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture Brown Dial - Monochrome Watches
We told you several times, the Word-Time complication is certainly the best answer to the issues?of current business habits. Many of us are frequent travelers or work in an international environment, switching timezones (virtually or literally) more often?than we?change shirt. The need for a watch that displays multiple time-zones has never been so high. However, as we’ve seen, World-Time watches can go from quite accessible to insanely expensive. For that,?Frederique Constant has a nice offer, affordable for sure, but also full of technical content (in-house movement and module, interesting way to adjust…); the?Classic Worldtimer Manufacture. For Baselworld 2017, this watch will be introduced in a pink gold plated / brown dial combination.In their press release,?Frederique Constant states that “the man of today has become a true Citizen of the World and travelling has become as natural as running or reading” and on that part, we have to agree. Never before we h

Montblanc TimeWalker Pythagore Ultra-Light Concept, one of the lightest mechanical timepieces (just under 15 grams!) - Monochrome Watches
When introduced, the?TimeWalker collection by Montblanc was a modern and urban line of watches, characterized mainly by its sculptural lugs – see here. However, overall, the watches remained rather classical and clean – like this one. Since a year or two, the collection has greatly evolved, bringing a much bolder and much more technical look and feel. Montblanc showed us last year the?TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph LE100, mixing angular shapes, carbon fiber case and super-technical movement. This year, the collection welcomes a new member, again?surprising and far from being classical; the?Montblanc TimeWalker Pythagore Ultra-Light Concept, with a superb skeletonized Minerva movement – and boys and girls, it’s just under 15 grams and thus one?of the lightest mechanical timepieces in the world…15 grams… That’s the average weight of a letter (an envelope with 1 sheet of paper inside), the weight of 1 tablespoon of sugar or the weight

First Look: The Gerald Charles Masterlink Luxury Sports Watch
One trend that was once dominated by the big players in the watch industry and caught on with independent watch brands is the luxury sports watch. As one of the most popular, if not the most popular, watch categories, there are many candidates out there vying for your attention. While some flaunt their maritime or racing credentials, there are others that could be broadly categorised as dressy luxury sports watches, which is precisely the sub-genre that Gerald Charles enters with its brand-new Masterlink. Designed by Gerald Genta in 2006 for his Gerald Charles brand, the enigmatic contours of the Maestro case have been slimmed down and married to an integrated asymmetrical bracelet to become, the Masterlink.Although there have been sporty versions of the Maestro in Gerald Charles’ portfolio, like the GC Sport Titanium, the new, slimmer Masterlink with its integrated steel bracelet is a bona fide player in the luxury sports watch genre. The challenge for Octavio Garc¨ªa, creative d
