Introducing: The Zentier Lapis Saute Mt. Fuji Edition for Watch Ho & Co
We’ve said it on multiple occasions, and we’ll say it again; watch clubs are great initiatives. They allow to fuel the passion for watches, to gather with fellow watch enthusiasts and to increase the knowledge in watchmaking. Basically, it’s all about passion for watches. One of them, Watch Ho & Co (WH&C), is based in Hong Kong and was co-founded by Jackie Ho about 2 years ago with the motto “good vibes only.” Today, the HK-based club unveils its second collaboration with young brand Zentier. Following last year’s malachite edition, we now have the Zentier Lapis Saute Mt. Fuji Edition, an accessible jumping hour watcha guichets.Playing on the renewed trend for hard stone dials, Watch Ho & Co. unveiled last year a collaboration with Zentier that was pretty striking, not only in its look but also its display. The Zentier Saute is indeed an accessible take on the jumping hour complication, executed in the traditional “guichets” f
Timex Marlin Automatic, An Affordable Dress/Casual Timex with Vintage Touch (Specs & price)
You probably don't think of Timex as a luxury watch company.? It’s among the most recognizable watch brands in history with a reputation for both affordability and reliability, and it never needed a four-figure timepiece to get there. Timex is also known as being a king of quartz, abandoning mechanical movements over a quarter century ago in 1982. It finally bucked that trend last year with the hand-wound Timex Marlin reissue that faithfully replicated a piece from the 1960's, right down to the (small) 34mm case and retro styling. It's an interesting watch and generated a lot of excitement, but the old-school size and Chinese movement were turnoffs for some. The new Marlin Automatics are a different beast altogether with contemporary 40mm cases and proven Japanese Miyota movements. It's a clean, refined series that helps reinforce the fact that a small fortune isn't required to wear a classy dress watch. Let's take a closer look at the new Timex Marlin Automatics.BACKGROUND/HISTO
Video Review Longines Spirit Time-and-Date 40mm and 42mm
Longines is a brand with impressive legitimacy when it comes to pilot’s instruments. Think of Charles Lindbergh, or even the chronographs delivered to the US Army, the Avigation Watch Type A-7 1935 (recently reissued). The brand’s savoir-faire in this field is indisputable. Today, we’ll review a watch that isn’t a faithful re-edition of a glorious past model, but instead a modern creation with classic aviation inspiration. It forms part of a new and important collection for Longines that was introduced a few months ago, the Spirit – slightly vintage but not “Heritage”. And since it is available in a variety of models, we’ve decided to compare them so you’ll be able to decide which one is the best for you. Face to face, the Longines Spirit Time-and-Date 40mm and 42mm, with different colours and bracelets… And yes, these two are drastically different watches.As we explained in our introductory article, many explorers, pioneers a
Spotted - David Beckham and His Unique Tudor Pelagos "Inter Miami"
There’s nothing unusual in seeing a brand ambassador wearing one of his sponsor’s timepieces. Pretty normal. Seeing them posting a close-up photo of a watch on Instagram is already something less common. But what we’ve spotted yesterday is even less “classic style”. While it’s no surprise to see David Beckham sporting a Tudor watch, the model he posted recently on his own Instagram account is far more interesting. Unique Tudor Pelagos? Yes, please!Former footballer David Beckham, who played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy is now a fully-fledged owner of a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise in the United States. As part of his contract for signing with LA Galaxy in 2007, Beckham had a clause inserted, allowing him to purchase an MLS Expansion franchise team for US$ 25 million.?Beckham exercised the option in back in 2014, with a group of partners.
