Today, Friday, November 21 2025, marks the launch of the HMS 002 ARA, the latest creation of Timeless Swiss Watch. Presented for the first time to the general public during the Timezones Dubai Event, this new piece is available for pre-order directly at the show and will be delivered in early spring 2026. So now let’s have a quick look to the specs. Oh yes, just a quick note: disregard the images mentioning HMS 003.

Interview Mateo Asier – Founder of Lebond Watches

Interview

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon the young brand Lebond Watches. I immediately loved their concept and the design of their watches. Naturally, I wanted to learn more, and I had the honor of interviewing the brand's founder, Mateo Asier. One small point to note: you know that Watchisthis usually only covers watches priced under €2500 ($, CHF, or £). This time, I'm making an exception because their watches are priced at €2700, and honestly, I love their work. So, let's get started, enjoy the read ;-) Mateo Asier - Founder of Lebond Watches Could you tell us a bit about you and about your story with watches? Since I was very young, I’ve been fascinated by both architecture and watches. After living with my wife in Paris and…

Interview Pierre Strömbäck – Founder of Alato Watches

Interview

A few weeks ago, I discovered a new brand called Alato. I liked the design and the overwhole style of the watches, and then suddenly, a subtlety caught my eye. Pierre Strömbeck, founder of the brand, said his watch was inspired by the Reuleaux Triangle, and particularly the rotor and indexes. But now you know me... For me, he can't say that it's inspired by something when he's doing the complete opposite.The rotor is an inverted Reuleaux triangle that looks like a fidget spinner… In geometry, the union of geodesic arcs is called a geodesic triangle… So he should say "inspired by geodesic"… I had to understand. I hope that in this interview we'll learn more about Pierre and his watches. Could you tell us a bit about you and…

Interview

The watch world is full of interesting and exciting people. Mike from DeMarco Watches is one of them.And sometimes the path is short to go from watch enthusiast to founder of a new watch brand. That's what happened to him and he explains everything in this interview. Let's go and enjoy guys! Could you tell us a bit about you and your story with watches? I started to get interested in watches and jewelry when I began high school at 13. I noticed kids wearing gold and silver chains.

My mother had a jeweler custom-make a Nike charm out of gold for me. Then my…

The New Stowa Flieger Verus 40 Baumuster B

Press Release

In June 2024, the German brand Stowa presented its new model – The Stowa Verus 40 Baumuster B. So yes it's a model that's already a few months old but I wanted to talk about it today. From an essential tool to a stylish daily timepiece, the pilot's watch is one of the most popular watch genres ever. Its distinctive design and its exciting history - when man first flew to the air, watches became an essential tool. That's the first reasons for its popularity. History of the Baumuster B The large original pilot watch in 55 mm case size, in the Baumuster B version by STOWA, is one of the rarest, large pilot watches ever. Most likely only 42 pieces were built. Both original STOWA pilot watches can be…

Interview Edward Cho – Founder of Fleux Watches

Interview

It's always great to discover new brands. A few weeks ago I came across Fleux Watches. A young Canadian brand that does things really well. I'll tell you more in my upcoming hands-on review of the FLX002. But first, and to find out more, I interviewed Edward Cho, the founder of the brand. I'll let you discover Edward and his brand just below. Could you tell us a bit about you and about your story with watches? My obsession with watches stems from being raised by my grandmother. One of my earliest memories is my grandmother winding her watch - a men's sized Rado that was most likely my grandfathers. I would watch her intently, as she would wind her watch on a daily basis telling me: "You have to…
