Hands-On: Grand Seiko Tentagraph SLGC007
Grand Seiko have always taken a rather unconventional route when it comes to their tool watches. The brand self-imposes a set of rules by which these are designed and developed, and oftentimes it doesn’t exactly jive with the kinds of practical concerns that I typically judge tool watches by.

Hands-On: The Parmigiani Fluerier Toric Quantieme Perpetuel
Parmigiani quietly had another stellar year of releases in Geneva last week, not only bolstering their Tonda collection with new openworked and GMT Rattrapantte models, but also in their still new Toric collection with a pair of new perpetual calendar references.

TAG Heuer surprises precisely no one with the release of a full Formula 1 collection recalling the original 1986 design. This comes after taking the official timekeeper role of Formula 1 racing, and a limited edition KITH remake of the original last year. This collection felt inevitable.

Hands-On: A. Lange & Sohne Introduces Odysseus in Full Honeygold
A. Lange & Sohne introduced four new references in Geneva this week at Watches & Wonders, including a pair of 34mm time only 1815 references with new movements, a frankly bonkers perpetual calendar minute repeater, and an Odysseus rendered in full Honeygold. As sublime as the new 1815 watches are (in white and pink gold),…
