Being restrictive is one of the issues that we have seen in the watch industry, it can be the case size, or it can be the lettering in the dial, perhaps the oversized details or even trying to hard on the vintage vibe, but whatever it is restriction is not easy to achieve. Then sometimes you try the alternative formula and make something very simple, clean cut and well made and then, the fans would consider it boring, dull, people were so happy when they saw a smaller case size for the Black Bay line from Tudor but we can easily say that it was one of the watches that got ‘flipped’ the most ov ..read more

There are a lot of watches that can really be called an icon, the Rolex Submariner, the Omega Speedmaster, how about the Patek Phillipe Calatrava? All of these watches are made for different purposes: diving, racing (or space whoever you ask) and dressing, but they do have one thing in common, they are not that accessible, sure the Speedmaster is somehow attainable, but not exactly pocket change and to be fair, entering this select icon club has a price. That said, there is always someone in the far corner that can make it and arguably it is even more important than that trio of beauties, it ..read more

There are brands that, as soon as you say their name a watch comes to your mind, think Audemars Piguet and the Royal Oak will dominate your thoughts, same with Omega and their bestselling model, the Speedmaster. That can be a blessing or a curse, some watches will do the impossible to have an icon and other brands have never ending catalogues leaving customers undecided on what they should go for (JLC comes to mind). Going back to the case of Omega, the Constellation line was one of the pinnacles of the brand in the past, a true luxury product with gracious lines and technological advances, ha ..read more

Most watch enthusiasts know that the Omega Speedmaster was the first watch on the moon, but only a subset know of the Bulova Accutron that helped get it there. Bulova Accutron Spaceview. Photo by Unwind Time.   There was never a question of whether watches and their internal mechanisms were going to be part of man’s quest to leave the earth’s atmosphere. The timing of spacecraft components working in tandem required absolute precision, and a few critical seconds could have been the difference between Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s walk on the moon, and another reality most of us would ..read more

We, the true nerds and watch fans, always have tons of requests/complaints to any watch brand, the date is in the wrong place, is too big, is too thick, the bracelet is not up t the task, but then sometimes, sometimes they will listen to our prayers, and we finally get what we want. Tudor created the Black Bay line a while ago and started with a 41mm case, a thinner version with an ETA movement, people couldn’t believe how good looking this new offer was, then they jumped into in house movements, adding thickness and creating a bit of controversy, but then, some years after, they decided to re ..read more

The First World War was a massively important war in so many ways. The influences it has over us all are inescapable, though most people don’t really think too much about it. A small part of its influence is of course that most people have a grandparent or a great-grandparent who was involved in the war. But it's mostly that, over four years, the entire world was changed in nearly every way. Decisions made during and after the war affected (and still affect) the geopolitics of the whole world. Even the end of the First World War is cited as a direct cause of the Second - the one that most peop ..read more

Vario Empire Chronograph Review

Guilloche is a technique that I really love, it is hard to appreciate without the virtues of a good macro lens but there is something nice about knowing that is there, a good hand made guilloche dial is an art that if is well executed, it would look incredible, great depth, intricate patterns you name it, but it comes at a cost of course. I happen to have a Breguet Marine which has this old century technique and when I am comparing it with the Empire chronograph under macro, it was hard to me to believe the price of the later. I was lucky enough to spend time with this incredible watch, I happ ..read more
