The author attended the Watch Event for 28 hours, visiting various booths. Brands like Panerai, Vacheron, and Tag Heuer failed to impress. However, watches from Jaeger Lecoultre, Ulysse Nardin, Chopard, Ferdinand Berthoud, Montblanc, Angelus, and Arnold and Son caught the author's attention. A total of 16 reviews are planned, with 3 already posted. The author deems this year's Watches and Wonders event as not the greatest....">Story

While Watches and Wonders is in 3 weeks from now, here is a retrospective on my personal impressions about 2022 Watches and Wonders.

Please allow me to mention two things, as an introduction: I have attended all the SIHH editions since 2005, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 for some well known reasons. Since 2005, I have seen exceptional " cuvées " and watches, and some I would describe as " transitional " or " consolidation " . So, my feelings are very personal and take into account my own experience, which is very subjective. That is a mandatory pinch of salt to be mentioned...">Story

10 Years of Bulgari Octo - The Factory Tour Part II

Avatar
patrick_y
I truly believe the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Timepiece is tone of the best timepieces in existence today and my top pick for anyone considering a watch around 10,000 Euros. It has got a sporty modernity with a classic look that will stand the test of time. The design is inspired by a 1970s Genta design, sporty, with an integrated bracelet, but now fitted with an elegant slim movement. In Part I we explored the factory in Saignelégier, where the dials and cases were painstakingly crafted...">Story

I’ve been on the beach contemplating to best “tool watch” in the real world and keep coming back to the Doxa. I always enjoyed a Rolex Sub or GMT- Master over the years notched up many dives and sailing exploits with my Sub and will continue to do so, but the Doxa proves more and more to be the perfect companion in these strange times. Will the Ultra Deep become the new ultimate tool watch ? I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject and about your favourite tool watch. Best regards Captain ...">Story

In America, we have a little game called "Fantasy Football" and basically it goes like this... You predict which team will win the National Football League. Some people even go deeper, choosing their players and determining what each player scores and tabulates them. Using computer recorded statistics of the performance of all the players, you can determine if your dream team would win or not...">Story

MB&F Sequential EVO Chronograph - THE GREATEST CHRONOGRAPH INVENTION IN 100 YEARS!

Avatar
patrick_y
What's better than a Split Seconds Chronograph? The new MB&F Sequential EVO Chronograph! I had the distinct pleasure of seeing this watch last week in Geneva and all I can say... This is REVOLUTIONARY. An ALL NEW Chronograph Concept! A truly great contribution to Horology! What makes this watch special? Yes, you can see that there are two seemingly independent chronographs. But what is that button at the 9 o'clock position? Here is where the magic happens...">Story

C'est le weekend! It's the weekend! Time to shrug off the work week, and now focus on the weekend and what we personally like and enjoy! With W&W recently past us, we're all focusing on the new things... Focusing on what to call our favorite ADs, and beg them for a watch that we will add to our collections and probably only wear once or twice a year. Few pieces this year inspired me tremendously at W&W, so I find myself looking into the past... The things that got away.....">Story

From 1942 to 2022... A celebration of the famous Angelus Chronodato which became, for its 80th birthday, the Chronodate. There is much more than the final letter which changes, here. Angelus totally revisited its icon, to make it much more modern...">Story

Parmigiani has a lot of fans, here, on WatchProSite, and rightly so. With Parmigiani watches, we are far from trends, bubbles, hype. Their watches are made with an extreme care of the details. They are the essence of Horology...">Story
