Bulgari is known for its focus on design, but the brand’s Diagono Ceramic is durable as well. Alexander Krupp takes a closer look at the watch in a piece from the the WatchTime archives. With images by OK-Photography.http://www.watchtime.com/reviews/a-bit-of-brawn-testing-the-bulgari-diagano-ceramic/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=047799e971-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-047799e971-14531153&mc_cid=047799e971&mc_eid=1436559a32

In my book, a minute repeater is the ultimate complication. Of course, a tourbillon is a feast for the eyes, and a perpetual calendar dial filled with apertures for day, date, month, year and moon phases is brilliant, but a minute repeater, to me, offers the most sensational experience. Most minute repeater movements have hammers hitting gongs to indicate the hours, quarter hours and minutes. This year, however, A. Lange & Söhne came out with a decimal minute repeater, which strikes every 10 minutes instead of on the quarters, as you have likely guessed. The watch — A. Lange & Söhne’s Zeitwerk Minute Repeater — is not the first timepiece that uses this concept; other brands such as Breguet and Seiko have also created decimal repeaters, though they remain exceedingly rare.http://www.watchtime.com/blog/reviewi-a-lange-sohne-zeitwerk-minute-repeater/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=1c6e0ffa1c-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-1c6e0ffa1c-14531153&mc_cid=1c6e0ffa1c&mc_eid=1436559a32

If you’re on your way to the post office or struggling to e-file your 1040 forms today, try to think about the possible reward at the end of the tax-year rainbow. While most filers won’t see a pot of gold, we hope more than a few of you will see enough–eventually– to help finance a new timepiece. We suggest not to seek advice from your accountant.http://iwmagazine.com/2015/04/eight-watches-to-spend-your-tax-return-on-2/?hootPostID=33f243febcf5080ef8fd02a976669a0e

Since June of 2010, Hayek has been the chair of the Swatch Group’s board of directors. She became CEO of Harry Winston in January 2013, after Swatch Group acquired the brand. Following the Swatch Group’s takeover, a continuation of the Opus series seemed in doubt to me, though in an interview at Baselworld 2014, Marc Hayek did reveal that he and his family loved the Opus series and that he foresaw a continuation.http://quillandpad.com/2015/05/20/the-harry-winston-opus-series-a-complete-overview-from-opus-1-through-opus-13-2/

Parmigiani Fleurier’s Haute Horlogerie aims to improve on age-old tradition through innovation. Thanks to its interest in the cultures and histories of time, the brand’s watchmaking is open to all kinds of possibilities. The Toric Kaleidoscope radiates with mystery and elegance, although its thickness makes it look a tad chunky.http://www.0024watchworld.com/parmigiani-fleurier-presents-the-toric-kaleidoscope/

“Carol of the Bells” is one of my favorite songs regardless of whether it’s the Christmas season or not. I just love the interplay of the chimes; it’s simply mesmerizing. My love affair with this song actually started when I was a young child, growing up in a Lutheran church community in central Minnesota.http://quillandpad.com/2015/05/17/bulgari-daniel-roth-carillon-tourbillon-passion-begins-early/

One of the more interesting and boutique timepieces I got to review over the last year has been this meteorite-dialed version of the Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 43 watch. There is a lot to discuss and some interesting hidden features in what is a pretty cool watch if the style and price match your needs.http://www.ablogtowatch.com/bovet-amadeo-fleurier-43-meteorite-watch-review/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Ablogtowatch+%28ABLOGTOWATCH%29

At Baselworld, MB&F was accompanied by a high-profile friend in the shape of Reuge. While those in the watchmaking know are accustomed to this name, it was a delightful discovery for the public at large. The hundred year old company is indeed one of the last remaining developers and producers of hand-crafted music boxes.http://en.worldtempus.com/article/industry-news/reuge-l-effet-mbf-1817311

I've seen the black and white versions of MOP dials on FPJ's before, but this was my first encounter with a "grey" dial and I immediately fell in love... The perceived "depth" of the pearl dial combined with the extra-thick printing produces a very 3-D timekeeping experience! Also, the different colored hands - gold hand for power reserve matching the printed text on the pearl and blued hands for the subdials - add another layer of charm for this piece.http://home.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&fi=17&pi=6542043&ti=944963

Hear the phrase “solid gold watch” and you might imagine the sort of thing A$AP Ferg or Floyd Mayweather would wear before a performance. But F.P. Journe has debuted an alternative to such outré bling – it’s gold, yes, but just about as understated as it comes for a $50,000 timepiece.

There’s only one thing about traveling that I dread: setting my watch to the local time. After the usual ordeals of travel—security, boarding, deplaning, baggage claim—the last thing I want to do is tinker with my wristwatch as I attempt to hail a cab (or catch a train) in an unfamiliar place. So I usually don’t.http://www.forbes.com/sites/karlaalindahao/2015/04/06/best-watches-for-travel-2015/?utm_campaign=ForbesLife&utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_channel=ForbesLife&linkId=13494882

The concept of customization isn’t new, however Ochs und Junior’s take on it is refreshing. They allow the client to get a very hands-on experience in ordering, designing and taking delivery of his or her new watch; a concept that harks back to the very beginning of watchmaking. Ochs und Junior is not afraid to push boundaries, as we’ll show you. We go hands-on with the re-customized Ochs und Junior Two Time Zones, with a patinated brass dial. http://monochrome-watches.com/taking-customization-to-the-max-ochs-und-junior-two-time-zones-hands-on-review-specs-and-price/

Mechanical movement lovers with a place in their heart for affordable automatic watches that are made in Japan are likely going to have the same positive feelings I do for the new-for-2015 Citizen Signature Grand Classic 9184 that contains a brand new in-house made movement.

People make innate associations with a color based on the feelings that color evokes. In Western culture orange is often perceived as playful, energetic and unconventional. In religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, orange has significant spiritual symbolism. In nature, orange appears in profusion: hundreds of animals and plants are orange, including many foods like pumpkins, carrots and of course, oranges.http://gevrilgroup.com/orange-watches/
