Once emblematic of luxury and exclusivity, diamonds have become significantly more accessible over the last decade due to the increasing availability of lab-grown options. Although diamond-set watches still largely exist within the luxury-oriented side of the industry, it is no longer just the diamonds themselves that make these timepieces expensive, and the Armitron Knox is…
Indeed, what makes the 35 millimeter diameter steel case 1518 so remarkable is that it represents the first and only time that Patek produced a perpetual calendar chronograph using the lowly metal alloy, known for its durability. None of the 1518’s Patek successors, from the 2499, which is most desirable in platinum, to the later…
Here we go again! It’s time for another epic edition of The Flyback, the only roundup you need unless you need another. We’ve got color, texture, and function this week, with new releases from Lebois & Co., Glashütte Original, Norwain, Bremont, and Louis Erard. Let’s get right into it, and as always, let us know in…
I am unfamiliar with the larger history of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland’s innovative gadget watchmaker, Nepro. The original company appears to have operated from the late 1950s until the mid-1970s.

When Bovet introduced the Récital 12 on a bracelet for the first time back in 2024, it put the opulence-forward brand onto a lot of radars, turning Pascal Raffy’s high-end and exclusive operation into a contender for a high-end daily wearer. The addition of on-trend semi-precious stone dials in malachite and tiger’s eye only…
The thing about building a brand around a new and novel technology is that technology — especially new technology — is rapidly improving and changing. A brand underpinned by a nascent technology will necessarily have to be nimble and agile in its ability and (perhaps more importantly) its willingness to improve and change in step….
The person in charge of materials at the small watch brand Arcanaut is an uncommon personality, going by the name of “Black Badger” (James Thompson). Mr. Thompson is a Canadian who lives and works in Sweden, and has personally gotten a lot of people interested in things that glow in the dark through the jewelry…
In contrast, here’s one you want to buy. The reference 11151 is among the final generation of this family from Movado. Produced in the latter half of the 1950s, this larger Borgel case has a more pronounced bezel and measures approximately 35 or 36mm in diameter. It is importantly powered by the Movado caliber 431,…
Swiss watch exports to the U.S. spiked again last month as brands and retailers moved to stock up in the key market ahead of tariffs slapped on imported goods from Switzerland. Exports of watches and movements to the U.S. jumped 45% to CHF 555 million by value in July compared to a year ago, the…
Armin Strom’s first foray into the elusive world of resonance came in 2016 with the debut of the Mirrored Force Resonance. While it was neither the first wristwatch to demonstrate the phenomenon, nor the first to employ a coupling spring to the outer terminals of the hairsprings, it was the first to do so…
