Vacheron Constantin Displays Its Technical & Artistic Mastery With Pièce Unique Watches

Theo Rosen — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 04:45:13 +0000

Vacheron Constantin has refused to ease up on the horological gas this year, spending the entirety of its 270th anniversary releasing an increasingly impressive selection of timepieces, from the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication—the most complicated wristwatch ever made—that proved the maison is more than worthy of the ‘Master of Complications’ designation to the La Quête du Temps, a haute horology clock that combines astronomical functions with an automation complication. On the daily driver side of things, we’ve also […]

Vacheron Constantin knows how to mark an event, with the Swiss manufacture spending the entire year paying tribute to the 270th anniversary of its founding. However, for its birthday—Jean-Marc Vacheron founded the company on the 17th of September, 1755—the manufacture unveiled what just might be the best birthday present yet. While all the horological creations within Vacheron Constantin’s anniversary oeuvre have been impressive, the La Quête du Temps is truly something special. A haute horology masterpiece, it’s an astronomical clock […]

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 […]

Vacheron Constantin Has Released The Most Complicated Wristwatch. Ever.

Admin — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:36:27 +0000

The appellation ‘Master of Complications’ may be associated with another luxury watch brand, but Vacheron Constantin has proven that it’s truly worthy of the title. Last year, the manufacture released the Berkley Grand Complication, which was equipped with 63 distinct complications; an impressive display of mechanical watchmaking in its own right, but, at 98mm, more suited to life as an extremely complicated, over-engineered paperweight (or weighty pocketwatch) than a wearable work of art. Now, the Swiss manufacture has followed it […]

Vacheron Constantin has unveiled its revamped boutique in Melbourne. The updated boutique celebrates Vacheron Constantin’s status as the oldest continually operating watch brand—with this Swiss manufacture celebrating its 270th anniversary this year—while showcasing a design that’s firmly rooted in place. Ensconced within a heritage-listed building on Melbourne’s Collins Street, the new Vacheron Constantin boutique sits amongst a veritable melange of watch showrooms—seriously, the street sees the likes of Tissot and Swatch sit alongside Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega—but imparts a decidedly different […]

Be There & Be Square; The Best Square & Rectangular Watches For Men

John Deckard — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 02:47:54 +0000

Square watches have come back (a)round, with the silhouette simultaneously contemporary and timeless. Both square and rectangular watches exude a rakish sensibility befitting of a gentleman while remaining definitively on-trend. However, it’s not all Cartier Tanks and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos. An increasing number of watch manufacturers are squaring up, creating four-edged cases for those who are more ‘baller’ and less classic – just look at the Hublot Square Bang Unico and the Hermes H08. The best rectangular and square watches for […]

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 Dress Watches For Men Are Both Classic & Unconventional

Theo Rosen — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 10:11:49 +0000

What even is a dress watch these days? With Rolex Submariners, Cartier Santoses (Santoe?), Tag Heuer Monacos, and Omega Speedmasters regularly spotted on the wrists of attendees at black tie events, the concept of a dress watch seems almost outdated. However, the glitterati don’t always have it all figured out, and for the rest of us, there is still a time and place for dress watches. What is a dress watch? A dress watch refers to a timepiece intended to […]
