Both the Gérald Genta and Daniel Roth brands have been revived under La Fabrique du Temps, […]

Zenith & USM Modular Furniture Redesign The Past With Funky Throwback Defy Revival

Theo Rosen — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 08:22:56 +0000

Unexpected, under-the-radar collaborations are something Zenith does well. From the Lupin The Third Chronograph to the Chronomaster Revival A3818 in collaboration with Revolution and The Rake, the Swiss manufacture knows how to nail a niche release. Even bearing that in mind, the manufacture’s latest collaboration still comes out of left field. Zenith has teamed up with USM Modular Furniture for a collaboration that fuses both Swiss brands’ heritage. Nodding to seminal releases from both brands during the 1960s, the collaborative […]

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 […]

Every Zenith Release From Watches & Wonders 2025

Henry Blake — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 22:01:00 +0000

Zenith is feeling the blues for Watches & Wonders 2025. The Le Loche manufacture marks its 160th anniversary this year and to celebrate, it’s bathed some of its most iconic models in blue, the maison’s signature hue. Three of its most recognisable chronographs—each powered by the seminal El Primero movement—are not only dressed in blue but receive a material change; with the limited-edition Chronomaster Sport, Defy Skyline Chronograph, and Pilot Chronograph rendered in ceramic rather than steel, titanium, or precious […]

Every Zenith Release From LVMH Watch Week 2025

Tanisha Angel — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 16:30:00 +0000

While previous years have seen the Swiss luxury watch brand look to the past to inform the present, Zenith takes a decidedly more contemporary approach for LVMH Watch Week 2025. Rather than reworking heritage timepieces for the modern era, Zenith has focused its attention on its two flagship contemporary lines, the Chronomaster Sport and the Defy Skyline. One receives a dazzling gem set update in precious metal while the other shaves back the metal, with a skeletonised dial revealing the […]

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 […]

No Bones About It; These Are The Best Skeletonised Watches In 2026

Tanisha Angel — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 09:49:02 +0000

Historically, watches have always left a little something to the imagination. Namely, the mechanisms powering them. While exhibition casebacks allow wearers to view the movement from behind, the dial conceals the majority of the magic. Skeletonised, or open-worked, watches put the mechanical complexity behind a timepiece on full display, with the dial serving as a window into the gears, wheels, and bridges that make a watch tick. The best skeleton watches don’t merely slap a sapphire crystal onto the dial […]

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 […]
