10+ hour, 22+ min ago (605+ words) Known for representing prestigious luxury brands while cultivating a rapidly expanding digital presence, Exquisite Timepieces is an e-commerce platform that has grown into a trusted hub for collectors, and the company's increasingly active YouTube channel has allowed it to reach an international audience eager for thorough, informed watch coverage. This collaborative watch design is not an exercise in branding. It is, instead, an almost quiet celebration of fine dial-making paired with a contemporary independent spirit. The shared aim is clear: offer enthusiasts a watch that feels personal, considered, and genuinely rare. One of the most distinctive elements of the SB04-E case is its polished bezel. Light travels across it in a smooth gradient, guiding attention straight to the heart of the watch. It also creates an appealing illusion: the watch appears thinner than its measured thickness, an elegant visual trick…...

12+ hour, 39+ min ago (510+ words) Genevan watchmaker Urwerk's new UR-10 Spacemeter that's priced at $94,000 tracks local time on Earth and the sun's movement across three subdials. When seasoned collectors think of Urwerk'the independent watchmaker founded by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei in 1997'they likely picture the satellite (or "wandering) hours complication. Developed in the 17th century, the system displays the time with an orbital disc (or discs) that indicates the hour and points to the minute along an arc that sits on the periphery of the dial. And though the complication is now an Urwerk signature, the Genevan maison has plenty of other horological tricks up its sleeve. To wit: Check out the brand-new UR-10 Spacemeter ($94,000). With its integrated bracelet and rather conventional syringe-style hands, it appears'at first glance, at least'like a luxury sports watch. A closer examination of the model's three subdials, not to mention…...

A sub-300 Seiko 5 Sports has the same basic mechanical elements and wonder as a four-figure IWC, and is just a bit less detailed and accurate day-to-day. Almost self-sufficient and independent of electricity, a mechanical watch simply needs to be wound [] A mechanical watch is a true work of miniature engineering, regardless of the expense. A sub-300 Seiko 5 Sports has the same basic mechanical elements and wonder as a four-figure IWC, and is just a bit less detailed and accurate day-to-day. Almost self-sufficient and independent of electricity, a mechanical watch simply needs to be wound to maintain a constant state of motion. Feeding from the mainspring, the movement has a heartbeat and perhaps even a soul, but unlike a living organism, it's comprised of metal gears, synthetic…...

1+ day, 10+ hour 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…...

1+ day, 14+ hour 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…...
