Swiss watchbuilders Urwerk update their UR-110 model with a matte black and red colorway dubbed the PTH. The headturning timepiece hides a secret under its dark, sandblasted matte black robe however: it is actually made of platinum. Urwerk pioneered the process of matting platinum with their UR-103 Blackbird back in 2006, and the UR-110 PTH is the […]
Breitling has always been the first watch of choice for explorers worldwide, even as the chronograph for American astronaut Scott Carpenter. So while it’s unarguably a luxury piece, the Swiss watchmaker doesn’t want you to forget that its instruments are for those living on the proverbial edge. In that mindframe they release the Emergency II […]
Fresh from Baselworld 2013, Bell & Ross updates their signature BR03 chronograph with a Golden Heritage edition. The wristwatch’s aesthetics are applied to their BR 03-92 and BR 03-94 models, in which numbers, hands and markers are fashioned in a luminous gold on the black face. The colors balance well off the white-stitched brown calfskin […]
Since their inception Bell & Ross have always been inextricably tied to aviation, their watches frequently taking aeronautic themes — whether it be their Vintage WWI Chronographe Monopoussoir Watch, their WWII Bomber Regulatéur Chronograph or the “BR01 Airborne II” Skull & Crossbones Wristwatch. Now they’ve stepped up their game by actually basing the aesthetic and even movement […]

We use quotes on “wristwatch” because the piece does not actually tell time — there is no movement whatsoever on the watch. Instead, it […]
We’ve covered a lot of the outlandish space-oriented creations from watchmaker Romain Jerome in the past (including various iterations of his Space Invaders Watch), and his new Spacecraft watch does not deviate from his M.O. The handbuilt luxury timepiece was made in collaboration with Manuel Emch, Eric Giroud and Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and features a retro-futuristic PVC-coated […]
We’ve been fans of Mr. Jones’ watch creations for quite awhile now, posting his Cyclops, All Around the World and Last Laugh timepieces in the past. Now designer Crispin Jones has unveiled his latest watch, “Good Things”, which like the his previous models incorporates a very creative trick to its chronological madness. As a testament to […]
We’ve covered several of Romain Jerome’s outlandish timepiece creations before (like the $17,900 PAC-MAN wristwatch, or the similar Space Invaders version). Now Romain is similarly reaching back to his 80s pop roots, this time tapping seminal automotive culture from that bygone decade. Taking cues from the short-lived but ultimately iconic DeLorean DMC-12 car, Jerome has designed […]
