Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT - Hands-On Review, Specs, Price
The Aikon is Maurice Lacroix's interpretation of the luxury sports watch, a collection of watches with a solid build, a distinctive style and refreshingly competitive prices. Introduced in 2016 with quartz movements, in 2018, an automatic Aikon model appeared, followed by a bolder and sportier iteration known as the Aikon Venturer. With its 43mm case, water-resistance of 300 metres and rotating bezel, the diving credentials of the first batch of Aikon Venturers were paired with straightforward time-and-date functionality. Today the brand adds the Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT to the collection, with a complication allowing you to consult the time in two different time zones at a glance. Two versions, with black or white dials, are the first representatives of the new Aikon Venturer GMT line matched with an integrated steel bracelet or a black rubber strap (or both).Powerful case and 24H bezelAdopting a similar strategy to Audemars Piguet, which launched the Royal Oak and then deve

Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military now in Black or Bronze - Monochrome Watches
Back in 2017, Ulysse Nardin launched a new sub-collection, still inspired by the classic Marine Chronometer design, but with a more casual look and a more accessible price. This watch, the Marine Torpilleur, first came in a traditional style, with a white dial, Roman numerals and a power reserve indicator (faithful to 19th-century chronometers). In 2018, the brand turned this watch into something bolder, sportier and more field-oriented, with the cool-looking Marine Torpilleur Military. Today, two new limited editions join the ranks, one in Black DLC, one in bronze.The idea with the Marine Torpilleur was to offer the undeniable charm of the Marine Chronometer watches in a more contemporary-looking 42mm case (no more integrated lug module), with the typical dial layout of such watches and a more accessible price – in fact, positioning itself as the entry-level watch of the brand, even though it still featured a nice in-house movement. Altogether, this was a tasteful facelift to th

Porsche Design 1919 Chronotimer Flyback Blue & Leather // Review
Minimalistic but detailed, designed with true ergonomics in mind, as precisely built as the cars that share their name with this watch… Porsche Design watches are unique, in the best sense of this word. But they aren’t just an exercise in style; what you get with Porsche Design watches goes well beyond just a pretty face. We’ve seen this in the past already and it is still present in the brand’s latest creations, including this new version of the Porsche Design 1919 Chronotimer Flyback, now available in a new (and handsome) Blue & Leather edition.?Whether you’re into cars or not doesn’t really matter here. Porsche Design watches are not necessarily designed to be automotive-related products, although they are designed with the Porsche spirit. And when you look at the 911, an icon of motorsport that has been around since 1963, and that has clearly stood the test of time to become a timeless piece of contemporary engineering, you’ll see that

Introducing Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany 170th Anniversary
This just in… Yes, you’ve read correctly, there’s a new edition of the Nautilus coming. And while we thought the Olive Green version to be the last of the 5711 series – and that’s what was claimed back when it was introduced – The New York Times just broke the news that there’s actually a sequel to the last of the Nautilus 5711, a watch that will be made in extremely low quantities – even less than the Olive Green model – a watch made to celebrate an important anniversary of one of their oldest partners, and a watch that is not just about the double-signed dial, but also about an unprecedented dial colour. And yes, this is the new Baby-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 for Tiffany’s 170th Anniversary. And it’s not fake news.The 5711 is, by far, the most coveted timepiece on the market today – at least when it comes to mainstream luxury brands. Recently, the brand’s president, Mr Stern, announced the en

Introducing: The Oris Dat Watt Edition II In Shimmering Green
In recent years, Oris has been pushing towards a more sustainable future when it comes to watchmaking, both by reducing its own carbon footprint, but also through parthering with specifically selected organisations. These organisations are active in cleaning up beaches, preserving wildlife, protecting our oceans, lakes and rivers and so on. This is done through limited edition watches, mostly from the Aquis collection, the brand’s evergreen dive watch. In 2021, Oris presented the Dat Watt special edition watch in partnership with the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat. Now, two years on, Oris returns to the Wadden Sea and finds inspiration in its salt marshes for the Dat Watt Edition II.The Wadden Sea is located off the coast of the northern regions of the Netherlands and Germany and the western part of Denmark. It is the largest unbroken tidal flat system in the world and an extremely delicate but very important environmental area, home to thousands of species of fish, birds, insects
