A tribute to a horological icon – Hamilton Intra-matic 68 Autochrono

News

In the last years, an entire wave of vintage-looking watches or re-editions of some iconic timepieces hit the market. As for example we have the Marloe Lomond Chronoscope or the Straton Syncro, both reviewed by Watchisthis?!. From the “old” brands, we can remember the Ball Engineer II Genesis, released at their 125 years brand anniversary. The list is long and it doesn’t make sense to enumerate all. We are just pleased to see there is a public for all new or old designs. Hamilton, with a history started in 1892, decided to bring on the market again a beautiful chronograph released in the ‘60s – the Chrono-matic. This watch is now a collector’s piece. Back then, the first version was a panda dial with white background and black chronograph sub-dials.…

Fromanteel – Pendulum Special Dark Edition

News

Some months ago the Dutch brand Fromanteel launched their first mechanical wriswatch under the name of Pendulum. Its name is a direct reference to the pendulum clock made by the Fromanteel clockmakers family in the 1660s. The pendulum became known as the world’s most innovative and precise clock – an amazing manifestation of the craftsmanship of that time. The Dutch team make a vivid connection with the Fromanteel history, and we can see that everything from the past has its influence on the present of the brand. For sure Ahasuerus Fromanteel would be really glad to see what Afredo Silva and his team have made of his brand and name today. So now they are proud to present a second version of the Pendulum – The Special Dark (We wrote…

Watch I love: Hamilton FLINTRIDGE

News

I have to admit that my first love from Hamilton was the PAN EUROP but for today I want to present, from the American Classic Collection, the Flintridge which is seriously appealing to me. This really interesting watch was inspired from the design perspective of the 1930s Flintridge. This one was originally created as a sports timepiece but honestly you can wear it whenever you want as it's a very classy timepiece. Available for both genders, this lovely design will make a big impression. Well, I'm impressed... The catalogue price is 1075 Euro and it's certainly someting really intersting. The only problem is the availability since it is a new model and not all retailers will have it in their stores.... But more than that - Both version are limited to 999 pieces.…
