The CIGA Design Blue Planet was the first Chinese watch to win Switzerland’s GHPG Challenge Watch Prize. The Blue Planet features a three-dimensional aluminum globe in the center of the dial, powered by a proprietary asynchronous time display. Wazzat, you ask? The hour hand turns 30° while the minute hand to turn 390°. That’s not […]

Mondaine sent me an email touting the Mondaine EVO2 Automatic. I called their U.S. contact number to get more deets on their New Collection. I pressed 1 for Sales. “The mailbox is full.” I called back and pressed 2 for Customer Service. Same message. No surprise there. Mondaine has been struggling to defend and extend […]

Legacy Flight Hours Review

Remember analog car odometers? Back in the day, everything from cassette recorders to pedometers used tumbling counters. In TV and movies, whenever an airplane faced impending doom, there’d be a close-up of the digital altimeter counting down.

Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44

Robert Farago — Fri, 07 May 2021 12:59:42 +0000

“While certainly useful and distinctive,” ablogtowatch.com writes, “this offbeat bracelet attachment may not be to everyone’s taste, adding further complication to an already intricate design.” In other words, the Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 is ugly, and the tiny quartz watch on the bracelet is a joke. Or is it? Have we reached the point […]

Mondaine EVO Pocket Watch

Robert Farago — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 12:00:41 +0000

I can’t say I was surprised when the back glass of my cherished Ball 999 pocket watch fell off. Nor was I taken aback when I heard a telltale crinkling sound as the dealer extracted the watch from its post-repair packaging. Yup, the glass had shattered, shedding shards into the movement. That’s when I changed […]

Timex Easy Reader Review

Oscar Klosoff — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 12:00:56 +0000

The Timex Easy Reader asks a question: do you remember your first watch? Not the first good one, nor the first one you bought. Your first ever timepiece. I was around seven years old. It was a little silver-colored case analog with a white dial and a black “genuine leather” band. A gift from my […]
