The Best Chronograph Watches To Buy In 2026 (And, What A Chronograph Is)

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 01:52:34 +0000

Equally as relevant now as they were upon their invention over two centuries ago, the appeal and popularity of the chronograph has not attenuated since its inception. While chronograph watches were initially introduced to make astronomical calculations before being adopted as a ‘doctor’s watch’, it’s their ties to motorsport (and a certain Paul Newman) that have served to cement its place in the horological cultural lexicon. Whether it’s used to calculate lap times, measure the heartbeats of patients, or simply […]

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 […]

Every Tudor Release From Watches & Wonders 2025

Theo Rosen — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 04:30:52 +0000

Would you like a Rolex, darling? Yes? Well, how about a Tudor instead? Tudor has long emerged from the shadows of older brother Rolex, however for Watches & Wonders 2025 it inches back into the darkness just the tiniest bit to drop a bright new Black Bay Pro that looks like it’s ready to jump on the—Explorer II—Polar express. Elsewhere, the it girl colour of the season has made its way onto the dial of the eminently wearable Black Bay […]

Forget Wild Geese, Tudor Has Us Chasing Blue Flamingos

Tanisha Angel — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 07:47:08 +0000

Overnight, there was an uptick in search traffic querying whether blue flamingos exist. Not merely a subset of wildly misguided ornithologists, this search traffic can be attributed to the release of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Blue Flamingo. Tudor has long stepped out of the shadow of its older brother Rolex, dropping a slew of releases that are covetable hits in their own right, rather than a poor man’s alternative to the Crown. Case in point: last year’s Black Bay […]

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 […]

Dive In; The 20 Best Dive Watches To Buy In 2026

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:37:07 +0000

A functional necessity for few and a covetable commodity for many, the not-so-humble dive watch has enjoyed a long tenure as the most covetable tool watch style. Despite their utilitarian origins, they’re now just as likely to be spotted peeking out from under a shirt cuff as they are strapped around a wetsuit. And while many of the dive watches worn by the soft-handed investment bankers, hedge fund managers, and lawyers of today are unlikely to see more than a […]

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 […]

What On Earth Is A GADA Watch? And, The Best (Non-Boring!) Ones To Cop

Tanisha Angel — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 03:37:36 +0000

If you frequent watch forums and consider yourself something of a watch idiot savant (WIS), you’re likely all too familiar with the term ‘GADA watch’. If you’re an actual functioning member of society and spend your time doing…literally anything else, allow us to explain. A GADA watch is an acronymic term that refers to a ‘Go Anywhere, Do Anything’ watch. It’s a watch that you can wear while doing anything and looks right in any location; somewhat synonymous with the […]

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Blue Is A Contender For The Ultimate GADA Watch

John Deckard — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 23:51:55 +0000

It’s hard to believe that Tudor didn’t already have a blue dial Black Bay Chrono. However, the watch world is no stranger to gatekeeping predictable colourways on classic models in favour of a slow burn release system that keeps even the most well-versed watch idiot savant guessing. Tudor would know — big brother Rolex is a master of such strategy, with a slightly rejigged Daytona a year enough to keep everyone happy. Making its debut in 2017, the Tudor Black […]
