 When Panerai unveiled the Radiomir Quaranta in GoldTech(PAM1026) at Watches and Wonders 2023, the brand was simultaneously lauded and criticized for the dramatic downsizing of one of its most historic models. While the criticism was surprisingly mild, the success of smaller-sized watches cannot be ignored. The debut of the new Radiomir Quaranta in precious metal was also foreshadowing for what we all knew was coming – a full collection of midsized Panerai watches – and Panerai did not make us wait long for them, either. The new Radiomir Quaranta collection is here with watches in polished steel, proprietary Goldtech, and limited boutique-exclusive yellow gold.

 As its latest new release of 2023, Bovet has created an updated version of its 19Thirty timepiece that takes the inherently classic series in a more modern and space-oriented direction. While virtually all of Bovet’s models offer a rather traditional overall appearance, the 19Thirty range generally falls to the extreme in that category with its pocket watch-inspired aesthetic and vintage-leaning design details. With that in mind, rather than having a case crafted from traditional precious metals or even stainless steel, the new Bovet 19Thirty Blue Meteorite features a sandblasted titanium case, and it showcases a genuine meteorite dial in a vibrant shade of blue. For those not familiar with Bovet’s 19Thirty series, the line is part of the brand’s greater Fleurier collection, and it was originally launched back in 2015, with its visual inspiration derived from the pocket watches that the brand was producing during the 1930s (hence the “19Thirty” name). Additionally, since 1930 was ...

 Though countless brands tout their history and heritage, few can compete with Swiss independent watchmaker Perrelet. For the past two and a half centuries, the brand has been pushing horological boundaries, introducing the world to the first automatic watch and even the first pedometer watch for measuring distance. You’d be forgiven for thinking that a brand founded in the mid-18th century, and serving as watchmaker-mechanic to French kings, would focus on producing classically styled and conservative watches. However, Abraham-Louis Perrelet, the brand’s eponymous founder, was nothing if not modern and forward-thinking in his approach to horology.  That spirit has passed down through the centuries and continues to permeate each line in Perrelet’s extensive catalog, perhaps none more so than the Turbine collection. Continuing this proud tradition, the newest members of the Turbine family, the Turbine Carbon Collection, combine the brand’s avant-garde styling with an ultralight...

 At a glance, the new limited-edition Raketa “Russian Code” watch seems like an expected product from the legacy St. Petersburg-based Russian watchmaker. It has a vintage Soviet-era theme with a nod to the brand’s military and scientific equipment history. The Raketa Russian Code was debuted on aBlogtoWatch here. The glossy black case has a dial featuring a globe of our planet, as well as a series of constellations scattered between the applied hour markers. It’s a pretty nice looking, if not baroque, dressier watch. And then you notice that the hour markers and hands go in the “wrong” direction. While not the first watch to do this, it is not common for timepieces to have dials that run counterclockwise.

 You can spot a Panerai from across a room thanks to its sheer size. The XXL cases and corresponding crown guards have become the brand's calling card – and helped to kick off an early aughts trend toward bigger watches in general, but there's another attribute that's defined Panerai from its early days: An old-fashioned manual wind. Panerai's North American president, Philippe Bonay, who was with the company as it was taking off in the late '90s, remembers retailers being flummoxed by the largely hand-winding range of sport watches that he was trying to sell them. They'd been trained to expect automatic movements by other brands, vertrauenswürdige replica uhren and while Panerai had some of those too, it was doing its own thing.

 Due to the cost, complexity, and sheer visual spectacle of a tourbillon escapement, many tourbillon-equipped watches use this element as a visual centerpiece at the expense of a design’s overall balance, proportions, or legibility.

 While watch brands have a long and varied history of partnerships with the automotive industry, there is perhaps no more famous or enduring bond than the one between TAG Heuer and Porsche. Both brands have shared the Carrera nameplate, inspired by the famously dangerous Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico, since the introduction of the original Heuer Carrera in 1963.

 of all the parts of a watch, the escapement is probably the one about which most owners are the least curious. This is not to be wondered at. In Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance, the author, Robert Pirsig, is on a long road trip with a friend who has recently purchased a fine BMW motorcycle, the handlebars of which have begun to work loose.

 Gold prices have, in recent weeks, reached new record highs. In times of uncertainty, people tend to go back to old standards. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, we already saw a renewed interest in gold-cased watches. This trend was, to some extent, also fueled by watch brands creating their own alloys, which gave them a unique edge in a very competitive market. replica watches Especially rose and red gold is popular, thanks to their warm shade. As this asks for copper to be added to the alloy, stabilizing this mixture of metals is a delicate matter and that’s why these three brands have made their own.

Yes, there is no stupid program format other than bringing the first date to the altar. Come and watch the second episode of the latest season, replica rolex  which is here for couples. The series is a mockery of a serious and sacred thing. Representatives of the church must have attended. Fortunately, there is not even a question of church dedication. The name of the series is also misleading, but of course it must be copied from the original program format. After all, there is no altar nearby and the offering is a civil offering. That is still enough to fool God. Only score for unfinished series. Special experts don't want to be branded as ducklings for any reason, but it should be boring. For many reasons, the overall atmosphere at these inauguration ceremonies is clearly unreal and disturbing. The protagonist is t...

in a brand lineup dominated by traditional design and finishing, few Breguet lines are as loyal to the watchmaker’s past as the Tradition series. With an overall form that harkens back to the Breguet subscription pocket watches that began production in 1796, it’s fair to say that the design decisions of the Tradition are extremely classical in inspiration. While the distinctive exposed mainplate layout remains constant through the line, the marque continues to expand the lineup with new colors, dial finishes, and unique complications. Summer 2020 has brought about a pair of these extensions, both exclusively available at Breguet boutiques.
