Watch of the Week: Breguet Marine Chronograph 5527
Last year during Baselworld, Breguet surprised us with the Marine Équation Marchante 5887, which combined a tourbillon with an equation of time complication. This year it became clear that this highly complicated watch was just at the forefront of a new generation of Marine watches. For Breguet an important collection, historically, as Abraham-Louis Breguet was appointed chronometer maker of the French Royal Navy in 1815, and commercially, as everybody loves a good sports watch!
Watch of the Week: Christophe Claret Maestro Mamba
Christophe Claret reimagined his Maestro into the habitat of one of the fiercest and most dangerous snakes in the world, the Mamba! Fortunately for its owners, it is a highly detailed snake made from pink gold painted with green SpectraCoat, which houses on the dial.
Watch Of The Week: Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon
In 2017 Roger Dubuis truly cemented its connection with the world of high-performance cars. Not only entered a unique alliance with Lamborghini, and introduced two amazing watches to mark the occasion, they also joined forces with Pirelli. One of our favorite watches from that collection is the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon.
Watch of the Week: Parmigiani Tonda Chronor Anniversaire
Just a few weeks ago, the Tonda Chronor Anniversaire won the chronograph category of the 2017 GPHG, securing a double win for Parmigiani as the Toric Hemisphères Rétrograde brought home the prize for best travel time watch. For us an excellent excuse to have a closer look at the watch with which Parmigiani celebrated their 20th anniversary.

Watch of the Week: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar Meteorite
If there is any doubt what a difference a dial can make, then the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar Meteorite will settle this question for good! While the "regular" version of this watch is a true classic, the meteorite dial turns it into an instant eye-catcher, especially when you opt for the 18K pink gold case.
Watch of the Week: Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Sapphire
That the shape of the case of a watch can change the way you see and experience it becomes evident when you take a look at Hublot's Spirit of Big Bang Sapphire. In many ways, it is very similar to the Big Bang Sapphire models, but at the same time, it is not.

A Need For Speed: Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer

Watch of the Week: Glashütte Original PanoReserve

Watch of the Week: Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Seconds
Some watches are just created as a connoisseur's delight, as is the case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Seconds. When you are not a watch enthusiast, all you probably see is a pretty straight-forward designed, classical quartz watch. Watch connoisseurs see however an understated design anchored in time, fitted with a movement which alone makes this watch worth buying!
