Recap: The Best High Complication Watches Of 2023
As we’re drawing a close to 2023, we take a look back at some of the Best New Watches revealed this year in various categories. And even though we’ve already covered fan favourites such as Chronographs, GMT watches, Dive watches, as well as several others, we’re now upping the ante with some of the best ultra-complicated watches that burst upon the scene over the past twelve months. From ultra-complex creations based on historic pocket watches to watches inspired by 1960s housing projects and everything in between, this list is a perfect display of the bold creativity and technical innovation the industry is capable of. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the Best High-Complication Watches of 2023!Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle RD#4This one was a given, naturally. Audemars Piguet’s efforts in the high-complication game are very well known, but the Code 11:59 Universelle (to put it short) outclassed everything else th
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra | The Battle of Luxury Daily Beaters - Part 1
Let's face it; watch collectors are not the largest demographic out there. Yes, thankfully, there are plenty of you to keep the industry ticking and our webpage alive and well, but most men are confessed “monowatchmen”. By this, I mean that most men will probably own one good watch during their lifetime, perhaps two. If you are a monowatchman, you've come to the right place. Today we will be looking at a solid candidate for the one-watch-men of this world, a 3-hand and date watch that you can wear day in and day out. Let’s start our “Battle of Luxury Daily Beaters” with the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m by Omega.Omega's Aqua Terra 150m is a perfect “all-rounder”, sporty without being a monolithic tool watch, rugged enough for a game of football – European, not American – smart enough to wear to the office and with an engine on board that surpasses most players in the field. The Seamaster Aqua Terra we have today is the 41mm steel versio
Introducing the Calibre de Cartier Diver with Manufacture Caliber 1904MC - Monochrome Watches
Cartier has just unveiled their very first dive watch! OK some of you might argue Cartier already have a “dive watch” in their collection, the Pasha. However the Pasha is not a true dive watch, and certainly not by today’s standards. The new Calibre de Cartier Diver, which will officially be introduced at the SIHH 2014, will be Cartier’s first real dive watch!The new Diver is based on the Calibre de Cartier, which was introduced in 2010. This was also the first Cartier to feature the new in-house movement caliber 1904 MC, which is the same movement they use in the new Calibre de Cartier Diver. A robust movement, with two main spring barrels, delivering 48 hours of power reserve. You might think that's not much for two main spring barrels, however this was done intentionally to get as little fluctuation in the main spring torque as possible, so the chronometric rates are as stable as possible. In laymen language it's a very good movement! Ad - Scroll t
Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin - Monochrome Watches
Countdown mode for Baselworld 2019 has commenced and Chopard presents its first flying tourbillon combined with an automatic movement on board the elegant rose gold L.U.C. Flying T Twin. The ultra-thin case is made from Fairmined gold and houses an even thinner automatic movement based on Chopard's very first manufacture movement. Decorated with a sophisticated hand-guilloche dial, the watch is chronometer-certified and bears the Poin?on de Geneve seal of quality. Collectors be warned, this is a limited edition of just 50 pieces.Ultra-thin Fairmined Gold CaseFor many gentlemen, the case of the L.U.C Flying T Twin flaunts perfect proportions. Crafted from 18k rose gold, the case measures 40mm in diameter and has an ultra-thin profile of just 7.2mm.? That is actually 0.4mm thinner than the pre-Baselworld 2019 L.U.C XPS Twist watch we reviewed recently, and exactly the same height as the L.U.C XPS 1860, but with a flying tourbillon to boot.

Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie Secret Alloy - Hands-On, Specs & Price
Since the reintroduction in 2015 of the name Czapek, Antoine Norbert de Patek’s ex-partner before he founded Patek Philippe, the freshly recreated brand has focused on high-end watchmaking, of course, but also displays a strong appetite for hand-crafted dials, whether they are made in enamel or guilloche. Using its latest watch as a base, the Chronograph Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie, the brand unveils a brand new dial in an unconventional raw material: “Secret Alloy”.The Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie follows two other watches in the collection. First was the classic and now signature model, the Quai des Bergues – a watch with power reserve and small seconds, executed in multiple versions. Then came the brand’s flagship watch, the Place Vendome Tourbillon, a more modern, more technical take on Czapek design’s codes. In 2018, the brand unveiled a new watch, a chronograph equipped with an impressive integrated and hi-beat movement, manufactured by Vaucher,
