7+ hour, 41+ min ago (416+ words) Remember that in 2005, the brand was still young (only six years old), and the Chronom'tre Souverain had an important mission: to be the brand's classic dress watch, more accessible than other models, yet retain everything collectors loved about the Tourbillon Souverain. And, after two decades, we must say, mission accomplished! The first Chronom'tre Souverain wasn't so different from what it is today. It was already a 40mm watch (there used to be a 38mm version, but it's no longer available), with a thin 8mm profile, made in platinum or red gold, and a silver dial with a clou de Paris pattern. The movement was also already constructed in gold " there isn't any version of this watch with a rhodium-plated movement. These new 20th anniversary editions, only available from the brand's boutiques, are essentially the same as other versions of the Chronom'tre Souverain, but with…...

While far from Topper Fine Jeweler's first collaboration, the original Doxa x Topper Sub 300 "Great White" quickly came to define the strong suits of both the watch boutique and the celebrated Swiss brand. That original Great White was based on Doxa's iconic Sub 300 model, but with some cheeky changes; namely, a luminous white dial, and the distinct lack of a date window.

11+ hour, 46+ min ago (274+ words) Frank Geelen, MONOCHROME " What, in your opinion, makes Leica unique? Leica has since defined six core fields of expertise: optics, mechanics, electronics, software, design, and, since 2005, selective distribution. The company is unique in the industry for directly managing its own stores, enabling direct communication with our clients. These are a few of the elements that define Leica. Was it based on an existing movement? How is it made in Germany? Some elements, just a few, were derived from an Eterna movement that never made it to the market, but it is our design made with Meis and produced with our partner in the Black Forest region of Germany. So, tell us about the watch's design and functionality? And then you released the ZM11 and ZM12, for which you worked with Chronode for the movement? What about the distribution of the watches? How…...

1+ day, 4+ hour ago (796+ words) Thank you for joining us Suguru. How do you describe who you are and what you do'especially to the enthusiast community? That's always a tricky one. I'm definitely a wristwatch enthusiast, but I wouldn't call myself a collector'of watches, motorcycles, gadgets, camera gear, any of it. I'm more of a user of all those things. I love gear, but I'm not trying to present myself as some full-time adventurer. Instead, I use the watches, sunglasses, motorcycles, and other tools I have in real outdoor, real-life situations. You mentioned watches, what watch are you wearing today? Today, I'm wearing a CWC GS Sapphire that they custom made for me. It's a "destro" version, so the crown's at 9 o'clock. White dial, orange seconds hand'a one-off piece they did for me. Where did your love of gear begin? How did it develop? Since…...

1+ day, 6+ hour ago (440+ words) Back over the summer, we reviewed a pair of pants from Brunt Workwear (the Costello Tech Pants, here). Those were lighter-weight, and perfect for the warmer temps of summertime. Now that we're firmly in the grip of winter temps, you'll be looking at something a bit warmer. So, I've been spending time with two items from their winter line: the Shevlin 1/4 Zip Hoodie, and the Torra Lined Pants. Secondly, I've been quite impressed with every piece of gear from Brunt that I've handled. From lighter-weight items through to boots, a jacket, and now this winter gear, I've liked what I've seen. The construction has been top-notch (no loose threads or stitches yet), and they've held up quite nicely to the outdoors activities and yard work that I've thrown at them. Now, other than the 1/4 zip, what else is different about…...
