DAVID BOWIE POP LEGEND

March 26 2017

RAYMOND WEIL celebrates the genius of David Bowie with the launch of the Limited Edition Freelancer timepiece, a tribute to the everlasting legend.

What do Slash, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page all have in common (apart from excellent barbers)? They all made their name playing one of the most iconic and easily recognisable guitars ever made – the Gibson Les Paul.

WHEN LESS IS MORE

March 16 2017

Hublot, the so-called bad boys of haute horlogerie, have proved themselves more than capable of creating beautiful, refined and, quite simply, classy timepieces. The two models featured here are a perfect example of this mode of design, and they build on the foundations laid by previous Classic Fusion models.

INDEFINABLE REDEFINED

March 9 2017

When the Royal Oak Offshore first hit the ground in the early ’90s it was highly advanced and ultra-modern, and looking at the latest pieces from Audemars Piguet nobody could suggest they’ve altered their approach. They have continued to adapt their designs, and to use only the finest materials in their timepieces.

A TIMELESS CHARM

March 9 2017

Very few combinations of colour and material ooze class quite like midnight blue and diamonds, and Raymond Weil have made the most of this by keeping the Toccata as simple and as refined as possible. By removing any unnecessary detailing, and stripping this timepiece back to its bare essentials, they have perfectly highlighted the beauty on display.

HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION TITANIUM SKELETON WATCH 45MM

March 7 2017

The Ultra-thin is a relatively new line of watches. It’s a little bit thinner than the Classic Fusion, more dressy, fits under shirt and cuff a little bit more easily as well. The interesting thing about this one, aside from just how thin it is, is the skeleton face there.

CAN SERIOUS BE FUN?

It’s a question often asked in many aspects of life but is it true for the luxury watch wearer? Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph is a serious watch, not only for the appreciation of the time it takes to make such an intricate timepiece by hand but also for feeling that you the owner possess when it’s on your wrist.

BAUME & MERCIER SHELBY COBRA

Baume & Mercier made a lot of watch collectors and motoring enthusiasts very happy with the release of their Capeland Shelby Cobra limited edition. This year they’ve got two better by unveiling three new Shelby inspired pieces! The new pieces are part of the Clifton Club collection, and all incorporate different and exciting elements of the iconic Cobra styling.

HUBLOT BIG BANG UNICO GMT

February 2 2017

Of all the pieces released at SIHH 2017, nothing piqued our curiosity quite like the Hublot Big Bang Unico GMT. Timepieces with a GMT complication have always been among the most desirable, and the ability to display additional timezones has proved a useful feature. However, timepieces with this ability are often difficult to operate, and be less clearly legible than other models.
