Seiko and Honda team up to mark the anniversary of the canary yellow Motocompo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The watch world has long has strong associations with the automotive one, from ties to Formula 1 to models named after famous races and tracks – most famously Heuer with Carrera, Monaco and Monza – to collaborations the likes of Jacob & Co and Bugatti, or, launched earlier this year, Breitling and Aston Martin, and Bianchet and Maserati. Both worlds celebrate the mechanical, typically also cross-fertilising notions of high luxury and extreme performance. But spare a thought for the less high-pro
Jean-Christophe Babin on what he predicts for the future of watchmaking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Will the Swiss watchmaking industry remain dominant, as it has, arguably, for the last 40 or so years? Jean-Christophe Babin, appointed last year as the CEO of LVMH Watches - after stints as CEO of Tag Heuer and then Bulgari, both brands in the LVMH stable - suggests that it should not assume as much. For one, he says, there is the rise of Chinese watchmaking, once focused around cheap knock-offs, now increasingly developing its own watch brands with distinctive designs and imported Japanese mov
Why solar-powered watches are having a luxury revival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maurice Lacroix has a deserved reputation as a maker of mechanical watches. And yet one of its latest models, the Pontos S chronograph, takes an unexpected tack: its quartz movement is Swiss but it’s also solar-powered, a first for the collection. Solar means a battery change only every 10 years, and five months autonomous running at full solar charge. The solar power also illuminates the two colour Superluminova display. 'A lot of companies choose to stay focused on where their know how is stro
The thinnest mechanical watch ever made is one to smile about (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin had mulled over all the options. He could make all of his proposed watch’s components thinner, but then some would not work as well as needed. He could make the case very strong to compensate – that was an idea worth pursuing. Gold wouldn’t be durable enough. A tungsten nickel alloy would work, although it alone would take two months of machining – and he would need to use the rare, non-magnetic variety typically used in the development of space tech
Discover the Monolith, the first watch designed for life in space (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Karel Bachand, mechanical engineer-turned-Nasa-systems-designer-turned-watchmaker, doesn’t get it either: why has the watch industry not yet produced a mechanical wristwatch designed from the ground up for use in space? It’s been over 60 years… For one, it’s a matter of industry dynamics. 'Space is such a wild west right now and while it’s a huge trillion-dollar industry that’s unfolding, there’s no way for companies to address every bit of hardware,' he says. 'Who’s designing shovels for use in
