As part of the brand’s “140 Years of Firsts” birthday celebration campaign, Breitling just released a pair of new Navitimer watches and a limited edition reimagining of the iconic Cosmonaute, the first Swiss timepiece to go into space back in 1962. The smaller cases and cleaner dials of the post-2022 Navitimer have been a commercial success with the brand’s spike in revenues rebuffing critiques that the design has strayed too far from the original. Of course, there has been just as much praise by those lauding the fact that not every Navitimer has to be beholden to the admittedly very busy com ..read more

The Citizen 100th Anniversary Special Limited Edition Pocket Watch boasts a beautiful ivory-colored dial with blued hands and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock.

by Martin Green

German watchmaking has quite a reputation to uphold, a fact not lost on new brands entering the scene. Äonic is based in Berlin and founded by Jörg Wichmann, who spent most of his career in design. He launched the international fashion fair ‘Panorama Berlin’ in 2011, but was before already active with ‘Berlinomat,’ a presentation and marketing platform that highlighted the work of 180 designers. He had always been interested in watches, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to take the next step by creating a brand of his own. What sets Wichmann apart from many others is that he had a ..read more

by Sabine Zwettler

Since the collection’s inception, Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo has set plenty of records in contemporary watchmaking. The story began in 2014, with the world’s slimmest tourbillon watch. By advancing the art of miniaturization, combined with a design approach unique to the brand, most notably the complex case construction which is reminiscent of Italian architecture, the collection today includes some of the most sought-after icons of modern times.  Over the past decade, the Octo Finissimo series has set nine records, including the world’s slimmest three-hand watch and the world’s slimmest a ..read more

Green Rambles: The Fun of the Less Expensive
WatchTime Magazine | USA's No.1 Watch Magazine
by Martin Green
3d ago
In addition to a journalist, I am also a watch collector, and a fortunate one. Over the years, I had the privilege of being the custodian of some great watches. Combine that with being able to see the most outstanding new watches as being a WatchTime journalist, and you have a recipe to get very, very spoiled. Fortunately, my eclectic taste has always protected me from (totally) acting the part. The other day, I was discussing with a prominent vintage Rolex dealer our love for Seiko’s Prospex ‘Street Series’ Solar Diver. He has the grey version, and I have the green. It is not really comparab ..read more

What Happens When an Award-winning Architect Designs a Watch? The Lebond Souto Moura.
WatchTime Magazine | USA's No.1 Watch Magazine
by Martin Green
1w ago
Lebond is an unusual brand for a number of reasons, but possibly chief among them for the reason that famous architects design each of their watches. Although it is not new to have an architect design a watch, making this element the core of a brand’s DNA certainly is. Founded by Asier Mateo— an architect himself— Lebond’s first watch, launched in 2023, was designed by the Portuguese grand master of architecture, Alvaro Siza. He took inspiration from the Leça swimming pool he penned down in 1966 when he was 28. It is a very charismatic watch with an unusual diamond-shaped case and captivating ..read more
