In the luxury-watch business, independence is a tricky thing to define. Does it refer to freedom from corporate rule? Or to a lack of reliance on outside suppliers? Most Swiss watch connoisseurs would argue both. One thing, however, is not up for debate: The industry’s best and brightest independent makers are at the forefront of horological creativity—and they are courting collectors with a vengeance. Here are RobbReport.com’s picks for five of the top independent watchmakers. - See more at: http://robbreport.com/watches/slideshow/5-independent-watchmakers-you-need-know-about-slideshow?utm_channel=Social&utm_source=Twitter#sthash.K3DYAjkf.dpuf

I was shooting one of my newly arrived Grand Seiko's recently when I noticed that the Seiko logo on the dial looked different to that on another watch that I'd shot recently. This morning I thought it would be interesting to have a look at how the logo has changed over time. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=7222891&rid=12189#msg_7222891

At Baselworld 2016, Seiko's very high-end arm Credor released a limited edition piece that features the very first tourbillon movement by Seiko. At first, I was a little surprised, but the fact is that tourbillons are actually hard to find in Japan, and the collectors there are generally pretty tepid on the tourbillon. With a new Caliber 6830 movement based on their Caliber 68, the Credor Fugaku Tourbillon Limited Edition watch is made by three of Seiko's Master Craftsmen.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/seiko-credor-fugaku-tourbillon-limited-edition-watch-first-ever-seiko-tourbillon/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Ablogtowatch+%28ABLOGTOWATCH%29

When it debuted at Baselworld last year, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 was deemed TAG Heuer’s most important release under the new creative direction of Jean-Claude Biver. It’s hard to argue with the significance of a product which has the brand’s own name twice in its title, but that’s probably beside the point. What is the point, however, is that the 21st-century genesis of the Carrera was deemed successful enough to be carried forward with three new and decidedly modern variations of the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Chronograph just announced for Baselworld 2016.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/tag-heuer-carrera-heuer-01-watch-three-new-models/

At Baselworld 2015, we voted the updated Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss watches as among our top 10 of the show. Several years ago, Victorinox Swiss Army debuted the Airboss collection as a sturdy and sporty family of decently priced and strictly mechanical timepieces. For many people, the Airboss collection signaled a dramatic departure from the Victorinox Swiss Army watch brand they knew because of the higher prices compared to their more typical quartz-based watch collection that the company continues to do very well with. Mechanical watch lovers who are looking for decently designed timepieces from a major brand at prices that aren't shocking have appreciated the comfortable coolness of these models - which promote a classic sense of style with a modern approach to an everyday pilot-style timepiece.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/victorinox-swiss-army-airboss-ref-241720-watch-review/

A few weeks ago, I visited the Jaeger-LeCoultre factory as I talked about in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Specialized Department For Artistic Crafts: Enamel, Gem Setting, Engraving, And Guilloche. While I was there, I spied a watch the artisans were working on and rushed over to try it on (yes, I admit it’s a bad habit).http://quillandpad.com/2016/04/12/heartbeat-the-mesmerizing-jaeger-lecoultre-rendez-vous-high-jewellery-tourbillon-with-black-enamel-dial/

Watch collectors rightly worship at the altar of Swiss made watches as they represent everything that is collectible about any product; first class workmanship, superior, cutting edge design, choice and diversity from entry level through to the most exquisite haute horology concepts. The only country that can hold a candle to Switzerland in ingenious watchmaking is the Japanese, and what a massive contribution they have made.http://www.watchuseek.com/7-ingeniously-japanese-watches/

Our meeting with Tissot turned out to be something of a Canuck love-in when the Verticalscope guys and Swatch Group Managing Director for Canada Rick Ostrom discovered that they are both not merely resident in Toronto, but literally one block away from one another. Then they discovered they share a love for a Toronto basketball team the Toronto Raptors because there’s a Special Edition Raptors Chronograph. Several trays of watches were produced in between talk of the Raptors performance this season and various restaurants in the Verticalscope HQ vicinity. Here are just a few of the watches we were shown.http://www.watchuseek.com/baselworld-2016-tissot-live-report/

If your plan was to spend less money this year on watches, you might want to skip this article. Most mechanical dive watches are priced under $10,000 (even though the iconic Rolex Deepsea, Sea-Dweller, and Submariner watches, as well as many Blancpain Fifty Fathoms models, might go for a bit more nowadays), but there are several types of fascinating dive watches that go way beyond that.http://www.watchtime.com/blog/5-ultra-complicated-dive-watches/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=41e3345350-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-41e3345350-14531153&mc_cid=41e3345350&mc_eid=1436559a32

A. Lange & Söhne blew away many watch connoisseurs at this year’s SIHH with its undisputed headliner, the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon. But the Saxon haute horlogerie brand also rolled out a notable timepiece at the fair whose mechanical complexity comes in a slightly more understated but no less impressive package: the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds.http://www.watchtime.com/watch-to-watch/a-lange-sohne-richard-lange-jumping-seconds/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=41e3345350-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-41e3345350-14531153&mc_cid=41e3345350&mc_eid=1436559a32
