Buying Guide – Six Watches Perfectly Fit For Crossing Time Zones
In watchmaking, pretty much every complication started with the quest for a solution to a common problem. The tourbillon solved the influence of gravity on the balance spring, the chronograph provided the ability to time events as they happened, and repeater watches served as an audible timepiece for when the lights went down.

The Petrolhead Corner – Is The Wells Vertige The Supercar/Hypercar Antidote We Need?
If you’re anything like us, you’ll feel more connected (pun intended) to something analogue instead of something digital.

Pocket watches were born in the early 16th century in Germany (Nuremberg eggs) but were very expensive, handmade curiosities that kept horrible time and were composed of components unique to each piece.

Hands-on – The Tudor Northflag, an Improved Successor to the North Flag, now with GMT Function
First presented in 2015, the Tudor North Flag was an important watch for the brand. It introduced a new design, drawing on the angular, exploration-inspired character of the 1970s Ranger II, but its real significance was mechanical: it was the first Tudor fitted with a manufacture movement (calibre MT5621), itself the first Tudor movement visible…
