We are almost twelve months into it but no you can’t yet escape the green theme. We’ve covered some multi-coloured releases recently, but I still think that it will run until the end of 2021. Meet the new TAG Heuer… Read More ›

PURNELL: Escape II Absolute Sapphire
One of the interesting things to have come out of the digital Watches & Wonders 2021 for me was the press Q&A session by Purnell. Although I knew of them, my knowledge was sparse and didn’t go much beyond that,… Read More ›
NEW: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Nonantième
Although the year is not yet half over, and Jaeger-LeCoultre will no doubt release more Reverso models to mark its 90th year, I feel fairly certain that the Reverso Tribute Nonantième will be my favourite of the celebratory year’s releases…. Read More ›
NEW: Franck Muller Vanguard Skeleton Sapphire Colour Dreams
Today is about another new release along the ‘colour theme’ of recent posts but again, an example of how ‘being colourful’ is manifesting itself quite differently between brands. Rather than go the ‘single colour’ route, not unsurprisingly, Franck Muller have… Read More ›

NEW: Swatch BIOCERAMIC
Think of today’s post as running in parallel to a post from last year about Triwa’s watches made from recycled plastic. Parallel because it is not about using recycled material to make watches, but it is about Swatch deciding to… Read More ›
WATCHES & WONDERS 2021: Chanel Electro
Colour is again the theme of this post about Watches & Wonders 2021 releases, but manifested in a very different manner to the previous post. For the newly launched Electro Capsule Collection Arnaud Chastaingt, Chanel’s Director of the Studio de… Read More ›
WATCHES & WONDERS 2021: Zenith DEFY 21 Spectrum
The colours one associates with Zenith Defys tend to be, by and large, more muted in tone – greys, blues, white, black, silver, perhaps a foray into green or purple. They aren’t averse to colour, they’ve just not gone ‘all… Read More ›
