Last year we were the first to bring you coverage of the new Big Bang Ferrari watches from Hublot (here). The Ferrari/Hublot relationship was a big deal and over the last year I’ve learned just how big of a deal it is for Hublot.

Blancpain L-Evolution Split Seconds Flyback Chronograph Watch Hands-On
For the last few years Blancpain has been one of the more curious high-end Swiss watch brands from one of the major groups. It was Mr. Jean-Claude Biver who built the brand up to what it is, and since selling it to the Swatch Group it has moved around a bit in terms of who is running it.
Hublot Cathedral Minute Repeater Tourbillon And Column Wheel Chronograph Watch Hands-On
The horological highlight from Hublot this year was the long-named “Cathedral” Minute Repeater Tourbillon and Column Wheel Chronograph watch. In a King Power style case, this watch boasts a case formed out of carbon fiber and a very complex movement that has (Yup, you guessed it!) the time, a tourbillon, a minute repeater, and a [...]
Orbita Avanti 3 Watch Winder Review
“Fancy.” Was pretty much the word that came to mind after finally unwrapping the Avanti 3 from US-based watch winder maker Orbita. This isn’t the first package from Orbita that I have had to wage sweet war with to open, so I know this is a trend. I have to say that if Orbita ever [...]
Xetum Tyndall Limited Edition Watch
Young San Francisco based watch brand Xetum now has their first limited edition piece – and it starts selling today (February 15th, 2011).

Hublot Classic Fusion Watches

Such “instant classics” are merely good designs that appeal to many people. What I am talking about is literally making a bona fide classic in the time it takes most people [...]
Bell & Ross BR01-92 & 94 All Carbon Fiber Watches
Indulge in a venerable orgy of carbon fiber as it caresses your wrist and arouses your eyes. I just made myself laugh with that last comment. But really, for carbon fiber watch lovers, you’ll be happy to know Bell & Ross is there for you. In more ways one – case, strap, and dial. New [...]
Roger Dubuis Easy Diver SED Tourbillon Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
Last March I was very intrigued by the marketing images of this new Roger Dubuis Easy Diver SED Tourbillon watch with its intense level of skeletonization, in carbon fiber, that looked like tree branches. If you look closely, you can tell that the movement is barley even there. The biggest parts are the one minute [...]
Romain Jerome Moon Dust-DNA Mood Series Watches
Sometimes I wonder if Romain Jerome has a watch design sweatshop, hard at work coming out with seemingly fresh derivative models. Other times I think that Romain Jerome’s Yvan Arpa just sits in a room and fleshes out all the designs while watching science fiction TV from the mid 20th century. We may never know, [...]
