Read MoreYesterday, I attended the New York-based watch fair IBG, which you can read about in further detail HERE. At this exquisite event, I had the opportunity to view a selection of the world's newest and most exclusive timepieces--ranging from watches containing numerous tourbillons to watches slimmer than a quarter. Between Blancpain's opening of their Fifth Avenue boutique, only a matter of weeks ago, and their latest contributions to the realm of haute horlogerie, Blancpain has much to offer. What pretty much left me in awe was their Quantieme Perpetuel 8 Jours.
Read MoreIt's that time of fall when all of the excitement begins. Brands are giving an intimation as to what we should expect to see in 2015, boutiques are finally receiving the long-awaited watches from this past Baselworld and SIHH, and there's tons of news that I will be sharing with you as we near the new year.
Read MoreToday, I spent some time looking back at some of my favorite watches from this year’s shows. As I was sorting through my millions of wristies (no not selfies, wristies), I found a few awesome pictures of an also awesome Reverso. But this was not just any Reverso: this was the Ultra Thin 1931 Chocolate Reverso, the watch that was under the spotlight at 2014’s SIHH. This irrefutably stunning wristwatch combines JLC’s technical sophistication as well as the brand’s appreciation of the icon’s (still referring to the watch) heritage.
Read MoreTimecrafters was so action-packed (and, yes a watch show can be action-packed, for those who don’t know) that I nearly forgot half of the watches that I saw at the show. But through all of this watch-mania, some very special watches found their way into a part of my mind where I would never be able to forget them. This was one of those watches.
Read MoreToday, I spent time with one of the brands that has most inspired me in my watch-blogging journey. Richard Mille, the swiss company that sponsors many famous athletes such as Rafael Nadal, has recently introduced the new RM 63-01, known as “Dizzy Hands,” at SIHH 2014. Luckily, this watch made a stop at Timecrafters for me and many other journalists, who did not get the chance to attend SIHH, to see.
Read MoreAfter a hectic, but exciting two days at Timecrafters, I stopped by one of my top-ten favorite watch booths, A. Lange & Sohne. While I was there, I viewed some of the newest additions to the collection, all from Geneva’s SIHH 2014. I found that I took a strong liking to the astonishingly complicated Richard Lange “Terraluna.” This exceptional piece features two important complications, including a perpetual calendar and a magnificent orbital moon-phase display that is almost reminiscent of Patek’s Sky Moon Tourbillon’s celestial dial, but much more accurate and, interestingly enough, much smaller (a more sensible size).
