5+ hour, 12+ min ago (905+ words) Watch lovers are the worst. They know exactly what they want, and most of the time it costs more than rent. That is a rough mix when the holidays show up and someone tells you they are "into watches now." You know your favorite watch nerd wants an Omega. You have even heard the model name once or twice in passing. Then you hit the web and see a wall of very similar steel watches with tiny differences in dials, bezels, and reference numbers. Do you buy this one or that one. Do you go new or used. Do you gamble on a strap instead and hope they pretend to like it? Maybe you are not even at that stage. Maybe you want to pull a friend or partner into the hobby and have no idea where to start. You…...

Designed in Paris by J'r'me Burgert and Gabriel Vachette (of Les Rhabilleurs publication), Serica's creations blend the discipline of military design with what is best described as distinctly French refinement.

The newest addition, the Ref. 6190 TXD,…...

5+ hour, 31+ min ago (269+ words) By pushing the red dot on the crown, the movement halts and the seconds hand resets, flying back to zero. It's a novel and elegant solution for quickly and accurately setting the time. To know whether the push-crown has been engaged, Leica employs a color-changing aperture just to the left of the 3 o'clock date window; red and the watch is in time-setting mode, white and the watch is running. While the ZM 1 eschews GMT functionality in favor of simplicity for those not requiring a second time zone, you'll find both the push-crown indicator and a power reserve indicator on both watches. In a subtle nod to the shutter curtain of the Leica M, the power reserve aperture is curved from 8-9 o'clock and utilizes converging blades that open and close to reveal the remaining power. Though the ZM 1 and Z2 Monochrom Edition…...

20+ hour, 48+ min ago (170+ words) Hublot drops two ice cold sapphire and titanium chronographs that bring winter straight to the wrist. The dial keeps things open and industrial, which has always been a big draw for the Unico watches. Both watches use a skeleton layout with rhodium-plated details throughout. The Unico design language has always been more open compared to Hublot's early designs, the idea being to show off the mechanics and make a more expressive design. Hublot keeps the strap setup straightforward with the One Click system and includes two options: a white rubber-lined calfskin strap and an ice blue version. Swapping between them is quick, so the watch moves easily from daytime to evening. The Big Bang Unico Winter Titanium Ceramic (Ref. 441.NH.429B.VR) is limited to 200 pieces and is priced at 26,300 USD. The full Sapphire model (Ref. 441.JX.429B.VR) is limited to…...
