For Ulysse Nardin, it was the first time that they exhibited at the SIHH, but they sure made an impact. Various novelties were introduced and among them a stunning new Regatta Timer. While available as part of the regular collection featuring a white or blue dial, it was the limited edition that Ulysse Nardin makes for Artemis that caught especially our attention.

Urwerk Celebrates 20th Anniversary With UR-T8

By Martin Green Time flies when having fun! That certainly goes for Urwerk, who celebrates this year its 20th anniversary and does so with the UR-T8 which they launched at the SIHH. The brand has come a long way in those twenty years, creating watches like the UR-103, UR-1001 and the EMC Time-Hunter. A signature feature of many of them are of course the three cone shaped discs indicating both the hour as well as the minutes, brought together by a stroke of genius. Of course, this complication is also present in the UR-T8, because what would a 20th-anniversary piece be without it?

Roger Dubuis: The Year Of Excalibur…and Carbon

By Martin Green Roger Dubuis has declared 2017 the year of Excalibur and rightfully so! The collection is expanded with several exciting new models, of which two are the result of a new partnership with Pirelli. It might seem a bit odd, why would a watch brand team up with a tire manufacturer, even with the esteem of Pirelli. However, both brands have a lot in common, as they are dedicated to the development of new and improved materials. This is also the central theme of the two watches that they introduced based on this partnership.
