I am fortunate to get the inside track on many happenings in this beautiful industry before they become general knowledge. Such is the privileged position of being a journalist. This project is one of those I am honored to have been privy to ahead of today’s launch....

Big brands obviously create a big hype. But even these top-of-the-market giants don’t manage to hit a home run every time. And instantly labeling the less talked about watches as a “swing and a miss” doesn’t really do them justice. Some of them are an acquired taste,...

When it comes to the question of what is affordable, it’s obviously very personal. It has as much to do with your spending power as much as your perception of the value of a watch. But next to the reality that not all watches I love will be part of my collection, I...

Today we discuss inexpensive watches or watches under $100. Now, we all like expensive looking watches. Unfortunately, we don’t always have the money and sometimes we just need something that looks good and does the job. In the price category of $100, you just...

The watch comes in two different versions, and the difference between the two is pretty much restricted just to the case material. The $460,000 version is in red gold, and the more expensive half million dollar version is done in platinum. Many of the most expensive...
