Kollokium Project 1 Variant F

While many brands are suffering in creativity and stay much behind expectations (like cubitus, code or recent "POP" sh.ts!) Kollokium is doing it very easily and smarter way. Innovative, modern yet still classic with 3 hands. Although I like its cleverly

Watch Shopping Yesterday...

...In San Francisco. We hit Patek and Lange, but the Rolex reservation was wonky so we will go back soon. A couple of observations. Our 'Ambassador' at Patek was Jay. Very nice guy who knows his stuff and loves watches. He was wearing a vintage mono-push

Kudos to AP and the leadership for agreeing to this collaboration.👏🏽

IMHO this shows confidence in their identity while staying true to their MO of pushing collaborative boundaries. PP (which I am a fan of, so please don’t react) leadership is arguably either too full of itself or risk averse to ever consider such innovati

Lange 1 is the only one I save

Because it was designed with the big date as a key element, it’s not just the usual ( lazy) window placed at 3/6 o’clock.🧐 4,30 it’s just weird and I just pretend that it doesn't exist 😇 Finally the Nautilus has achieved this huge evolutional leap, leavin

Some thoughts on the date window

During my recent short stay in Paris, I tried on two watches with a date window about which I thought to myself : this is how it should be done . What do they have in common ? A framed aperture , well aligned with the hour markers. A date disc that matche

The Integrated Bracelet Steel Sports Watch That Time (and Everybody Else) Forgot:

I’m talking about the Glashütte Original Seventies , specifically, the Chronograph Panorama Date, Ref. #1-37-02-08-02-70. This is the smoked gray dial limited edition version on a steel bracelet. While this is the reference I happen to own, it can probabl

Thanks, Gordon, for the great

photographs! While I personally still don’t like the Cubitus, I think the new release is so far its most attractive version by far. As to your factual statement regarding “average age of Patek collectors”, I wonder whether what/whose data this is based on

I don't know my Patek models as well as I should, but here goes . . .

For actual daily wear: 1. Calatrava time/date with salmon dial. Lovely, simple, understatedly elegant. 2. Cubitus perpetual calendar. That case looks like it was made for a PC display and I like the louvered dial. For sheer admiration: 1. Fox and Crow. Si

Hi All, After seeing 2026 novelties in the metal, my take on the general direction of Patek is that

innovations continue while balanced with more colorful dials and straps to bring in younger collectors. The average age of Patek collectors is around mid to late 40s. As Cubitus was created with a younger crowd in mind, I see this strategy continuing step

Watches & Wonders part 3: Patek Philippe Cubitus Perpetual Calendar ref. 5840P

Initial thoughts from the press pictures weren’t encouraging, but when seeing it for real and putting it on the wrist, it’s absolutely amazing. The Cubitus finally clicked for me in this perpetual calendar execution. The 45mm platinum case sounds imposing
