News

How many varieties of the Movado Museum watch can you make? Well, when it is up to Movado's power of creativity; many!

News

Emile Chouriet Nuit des Temps; Cherish the Day

News

Emile Chouriet is not your average brand. Founded in 1998, their Swiss roots have resulted in a global presence, especially in Asia. You can also see this in their watches which breath a cosmopolitan lifestyle. In their collection is also a unique complication that is rarely seen in these days. The dial of this Emil Chouriet shows the hours in both Roman numerals, as well as Arabic numerals and its design is based on the Temple de la Fusterie clock in Geneva. When noon has passed the display for the Arabic numerals moves forward, showing the mid-day and evening hours up to midnight, when it jumps again. This charming complication has never been made by many brands, which is a true pity because it really gives the watch something unique.…

Don Kylne; A New Kind of Vintage

News

At a first glance the premiere watch by Don Kylne does definitely not look like a watch from a watch startup. In fact, people might even mistaken it for a Vacheron Constantin or perhaps even a Patek Philippe from the 1920's or 30's. Not that a Don Kylne is an exact copy, or even close to it, but more in the sense that it breathes the same sense of elegance and style. This is created by a clever combination of timeless style elements. First there is the cushion case. If there is one style of watch case that offers that Boardwalk Empire swagger, it is the cushion shape. It gives watches a confident kind of elegance. Most modern cushion shaped watches are fitted with thick lugs, making them kind of…

Since its debut, the watch brand has made quite an impact in the world of watchmaking and now comes back in the market with again a very astonishing piece.

Frederique Constant; A New Classic Delight

News

Frederique Constant recently introduced their latest ladies watch; the new Classics Delight collection. Designing ladies watches is not the easiest thing to do.

Frederique Contant did rise to the challenge with their latest collection for ladies. With a diameter of 28mm the Classic Delight has found a balance between elegantly small, and practically readable. This size is also a sort of safe haven between the waves of fashion; not too big, yet also not too small. Not only the size is contemporary, also the looks. Stainless steel can be combined with a diamond set dial, and/or a diamond set bezel, while…

TWO-O; Born in Amsterdam

News

TWO-O, a design studio studio located in an old shipyard in the heart of Amsterdam, has always had a passion for wood. That passion is very visible in the first watch that they launch under their own name. TWO-O is not the first to launch a watch with a case made from wood, and they probably won't be the last either, but what they do have going for them is that they do it well. The case is not only elegantly shaped, but also beautifully finished. The wood is polished soft and smooth and the grain of the wood is stunning! Unique is that this is also one of the very few watches made from wood that also has the back of the case crafted from this material. Actually it…
