What is the goal of a tourbillon? Improving the accuracy, by negating the effect of gravity. What is the goal of a double tourbillon? Improving twice this accuracy. As basic as it seems to be, a double tourbillon is not a simple mechanism. And that’s what Hysek, a brand we didn’t cover yet, choose to introduce this year, in the Verdict 46mm Double Tourbillon Sapphire Dial. And this is not the only feature that comes into this watch. http://monochrome-watches.com/hysek-verdict-46mm-double-tourbillon-sapphire-dial/

Cuban turned European watch brand Cuervo y Sobrinos has an interesting history. The original company was based in Havana and then shut down for many years until it was revived to be Swiss made but with "a Latin soul." To a large degree, that is still true in their interesting designs that are heavily inspired by the original pieces from the brand. http://www.ablogtowatch.com/cuervo-y-sobrinos-torpedo-pirata-chrono-bronze-dlc-black-watch-hands/

Introduced at Baselworld 2014, the Omega Speedmaster Mark II is a remake of the 1970s chronograph of the same name. Aesthetically almost identical to the original, the new Mark II is nonetheless equipped with all the upgrades found in modern Omega watches, like the Si14 silicon hairspring.http://www.watchesbysjx.com/2014/08/hands-on-with-omega-speedmaster-mark-ii.html

Panerai has something that no other brand has this much of. It is one of the rarest commodities in watchmaking, and many watchmakers lose sleep over the lack of it. That commodity is space.

There’s an old saying that goes, “The devil is in the detail.” This makes detail sound like something decidedly unpleasant, but in the case of the new Classics Index Collection from Frédérique Constant, the extraordinary design features, unbelievably attractive pricing and technological marvels built into each model mean that, when it comes to these watches, “the detail is utterly delightful.”http://www.frederique-constant.com/the-all-new-frederique-constant-classics-index-range/?utm_source=ReviveOldPost

The popular face of the wristwatch is constantly changing. Sure, the hands, indices and dial always remain, but their styles of presentation have been all over the map. Digital displays, which were once all the rage, fell out of favor for the more classic faces they had previously displaced. Gold, too, has come and gone a few times over, as titanium, platinum and unobtainium become the most precious of metals for case creation. Oversized watches, too, recently boomed and now seem to have gone over the hump. http://gearpatrol.com/2014/08/12/best-vintage-style-watches-for-men/

Blue-on-blue isn’t the only popular watch-color trend of recent years. “All-black” watches, with ebony-colored cases, dials, and straps, have also remained popular. Nearly every watch brand, from mass-market and inexpensive to pricey and high-end, now makes at least one black-on-black model. Here are 17 watches that, like Johnny Cash and goth teens, are clad in black from top to bottom. http://www.watchtime.com/blog/blackout-10-black-on-black-watches/

It used to be the case that a watch was for life. You’d be bought one to commemorate some milestone – your 18th or 21st birthday for example or your graduation – and, until it finally gave up the ghost, that would be the only watch you’d ever wear. Not anymore. Now you’re encouraged to think about your watch in the same way you’d think about any other accessory in your life. However, before we start to look at what should be in your wardrobe, we must cover some ground rules. http://www.eveswatch.com/watch-guide-building-watch-wardrobe/

Titoni is a Swiss watch brand I don't normally see featured outside of Switzerland. At least not here in the US that often.

Michel Parmigiani reportedly fell in love with the Bugatti Veyron during a visit of the Molsheim-based car manufacturer in 2001.

You could argue that there have been luxury watches since the 1500’s, when people first began wearing their own timepieces. These first timepieces were certainly luxuries. They were entirely handmade and their elaborate ornamentation put them out of reach for all but heads of state and nobility. http://gevrilgroup.com/luxury-watches/

If you plan on storing your Swiss dive watch for an extended period, like the IWC Aquatimer above, make sure to tighten the crown first. This will keep out any moisture or dust that might be in the air, and prevent damage to the seals that might compromise water resistance next time you go for a dip. http://swisswatchwire.com/2014/08/storing_a_diver.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

All divers’ watches share certain characteristics that make them divers’ watches: unidirectional rotating bezels, secure screw-down crowns, higher-than-typical water resistance. Some of these divers’ watches, however, go the extra mile (or fathom), with cases that can descend to 3,000 or even 4,000 meters, chronographs operable at incredible depths, or high-tech depth gauge devices built into their mechanical movements. Below, we take a look at six of these “extreme” dive watches and what sets them apart from the pack. http://www.watchtime.com/blog/6-extreme-divers-watches/

Chic and sporty, the new White Diamonds makes a stunning addition to the long-established Multifort collection, first launched by watchmaker Mido in 1934. Graced with 11 real diamonds, its dial in white mother-of-pearl set into a satinated disc is the height of bold femininity. The white rubber bezel encircling the dial bears the Mido imprint. The strap, also in white rubber, and the rose PVD-treated steel case bring a resolutely contemporary touch to this model, making it one of summer’s must-haves. - See more at: http://watchmobile7.com/articles/mido-multifort-lady-white-diamonds#sthash.8WzWwYh4.dpuf
