The Best Luxury Watches For Women With Small (& Tiny) Wrists

Tanisha Angel — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 14:39:52 +0000

There is no shortage of articles on the best watches for small wrists. However, the initial hit of excitement at seeing a story on recommendations for good small watches is invariably followed by a wave of disappointment upon realising the article in question considers a 6.5” wrist ‘small’ and said recommended ‘small’ watches are sized from 36 to 39mm. As someone with a 5.12” (13cm) wrist, even a 36mm case can have lug overhang, rendering the majority of these supposedly […]

The old money aesthetic has dominated the collective consciousness of the style cognoscenti of late, with influencers, celebrities, and brands alike rather loudly touting the best recipe for ‘quiet luxury’. The trend towards quiet luxury proved a sartorial sigh of relief from the endless logomania that defined the previous decade, however ostentation isn’t limited to our wardrobes; it’s also present on our wrists. While there’s no shame in wearing a watch that appeals to — and is recognised by — […]

The Useless Profundity Of A Moonphase Watch

Theo Rosen — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 06:08:56 +0000

Humanity has always looked to the sky for guidance, with ancient civilizations observing the heavenly bodies as the earliest form of timekeeping. Although the sun — kept track of using shadow clocks and dials — was used to determine the passing of days, the lunar cycle was instrumental in monitoring the passing of months. And while the waxing and waning of the lunar cycle is no longer necessary to keep track of lost time, the lure of the moon hasn’t […]

15 Steel Sports Watches That Are Worth Their Weight In Gold

Theo Rosen — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 10:09:44 +0000

In the horological world, the least costly metal is also the most covetable, with the waiting lists for steel sports watches far surpassing demand for white gold, yellow gold, bronze, and platinum timepieces. While common logic would dictate that the most expensive watches would be those crafted from expensive (i.e. precious) metals, the high demand and—often intentionally created—scarce supply of steel sports watches have seen their prices skyrocket on the secondary market over the past few years. While some models […]

The Best High-End Luxury Watch Brands Of All Time

Theo Rosen — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:05:18 +0000

When it comes to the best luxury watch brands, there are a few key players that immediately spring to mind — Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, and Audemars Piguet among them. However, the best luxury watch brands go beyond the oft-mentioned names, including heritage stalwarts like A. Lange & Söhne, Blancpain, Breguet, and Vacheron Constantin as well as lesser known gems like Arnold & Son, Greubel Forsey, and Glashütte Original. While you can find excellent—and elegant!—watches at every price point (some […]

Got Time? These Are The 22 Best Luxury Watch Brands For Women

Tanisha Angel — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 07:40:21 +0000

From the outside, the horological world appears to be dominated by watch bros pontificating about Hulks, Pepsi, and something about the submarine from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. There’s the argument that watches are to men what luxury handbags are to women; though of course watches are regarded as a more ‘serious’ collector’s item. However, the Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet wristwatches on the wrists of horological enthusiasts and guys trying to signify their status wouldn’t be where […]

The Chopard Alpine Eagle Sunburnt Makes A Case(back) For Spotlighting First Nations Art

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 23:44:47 +0000

Australia has well and truly entered the horological conversation. Both Seiko and Grand Seiko have paid homage to the distinct landscape down under and its unique plant life through regional exclusives. Meanwhile, Zenith teamed up with AFL legend Buddy Franklin to design a bespoke charity that took its design cues from the sandstone of the sacred site of Uluru as well as Franklin’s indigenous heritage. Most recently, Longines collaborated with Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist and surfer Otis Hope Carey on a quartet […]

Chopard Taps Into The Zeitgeist With The Alpine Eagle XL Chrono Maritime Blue

AR Staff — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 01:05:48 +0000

First introduced in 2019, the Alpine Eagle represented Chopard’s foray into the ever covetable integrated stainless steel sports watch category. A contemporary interpretation of an archival design — the St. Mortiz — the Alpine Eagle has since been iterated several times, from salmon-toned dials and diamond-encrusted versions to oversized chronographs. Sitting within the latter category, the new Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono Maritime Blue sees the hefty timepiece bestowed with the zeitgeisty ice blue (or Tiffany blue!) dial. You’ll also […]
