How Does a Devon Watch Work? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Devon watches didn’t emerge from the slow, methodical traditions of Swiss horology; they were sparked in California, where designer Scott Devon looked at the quiet world of ticking gears and wondered why time couldn’t be put on display—why it couldn’t move in a way people could actually watch. Instead of hiring master watchmakers, he gathered aerospace engineers, people accustomed to designing machines that survive pressure, speed, and the unforgiving logic of physics. Their assignment wasn’t to
The Wright Brothers Pocket Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most visitors to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum arrive expecting spectacle - silver jets, roaring engines, spacecraft that carried human beings into the void. That’s why the small Hampden pocket watch sitting quietly behind glass is so disarming. It doesn’t glow, spin, or hover. It’s just a modest American timekeeper, a warm yellow-gold case worn smooth by life in a working man’s pocket. And yet, against all expectation, this little watch was there - actually there - on the day humanity
The History of Certina (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the shadow of the Jura Mountains, where the rhythmic clatter of tools met the steady tick of gears, two brothers—Adolf and Alfred Kurth—began a journey that would quietly shape the future of Swiss watchmaking. It was 1888 in Grenchen, Switzerland, and the Kurths, working from a small workshop behind their home, built timepieces not for prestige, but for permanence. Their focus was precision, their philosophy endurance—and from those humble beginnings, Certina was born.
10 Things About British Watchmaking You (Probably) Didn't Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When most people think of fine watchmaking, their minds go straight to Switzerland. Geneva, the Vallée de Joux — all the familiar names. But before the Swiss rose to global dominance, it was Britain that laid down many of the foundations of modern horology. From life-saving chronometers that kept sailors safe at sea to innovations still ticking inside today’s wristwatches, British watchmakers quietly shaped the way the world measures time. And while much of that story has been overshadowed, it r
The Poetry of Patina (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Watches speak, though not always in words. Sometimes their voice is a whisper written across a dial—sun-faded paint softening into cream, lume turning to golden honey, tiny freckles scattered like constellations across the surface. This slow transformation is patina, and it’s the poetry of time made visible. No factory finish can imitate it, no restoration can reproduce it. It takes decades to write, and every line tells a story.
