Case in point is the release of the Aikonic Master Triple Retrograde, with, as its name indicates, three…...

5+ hour, 48+ min ago (136+ words) For ages, German watches have been the go-to suggestion for anyone looking for a solid, reliable tool watch that provides excellent value. As with everything else in life, however, prices have crept up and up, and finding value (regardless of country of origin) has become a challenge. Hanhart'looked around at the competition, gave a hearty [] The post Watch Review: The Hanhart Pioneer Preventor HD12 Is A Classic German Tool Watch With A Hardened Steel Case appeared first on aBlogtoWatch. The Preventor HD12 is powered by either a Sellita SW200-1 or Soprod SOP PO24 caliber, likely depending on availability. Both are Swiss automatic movements with a 4Hz beat rate, 38-hour power reserve, and no date function.

19+ hour, 44+ min ago (549+ words) Dann, you're born in France, with Portuguese and Laotian roots, producing watches in Switzerland. That sounds like quite the journey! Yes, it was a long journey. Let's just say that the pleasure of practising watchmaking in its purest form was strong enough to pass through certain periods, often decisive and uncertain. To cut a long story short, I was born in France and moved to Portugal at the age of 8, finally settling in Switzerland at the age of 24 in search of mastery in the art of watchmaking. How did you get interested in watchmaking? What was your earliest memory? It was a chance that led me to choose watchmaking at a technical college. I had gone there to enrol in blacksmithing or electronics, but when I visited the watchmaking department, I remember seeing a certain beauty in the crafted pieces…...

22+ hour, 49+ min ago (261+ words) The domed, grained dial combines simplicity with functional clarity. Large Arabic numerals and a railroad-style minute track are printed in contrasting tones for maximum readability, with Super-LumiNova GL old radium on the numerals and hands. The bright orange central seconds hand, featuring a rectangular luminous block, adds contrast and character. Reflecting Cimier's recent move toward bolder colour expression seen in the POP collection, the 47" North series offers five dial variations: black, white, gradient pebble grey, moss green, and river blue. Each colourway gives the compact field watch its own personality, ranging from classic to casual, and even seriously fun for the blue and green versions. The series is powered by the automatic ETA 2824-2, a proven calibre known for its reliability and ease of service. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations/hour and provides a 38-hour power reserve with a stop-seconds mechanism…...
