I suppose that I could be faulted for featuring the rather newish Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 in a #TBT article, but I’ll live with it. I’ve covered a couple newer pieces in this series such as the Rolex Explorer 14270 and, more recently, the IWC Mark XII, so I’m more on the side of featuring what […]

The last time we covered an article on (Jorg) Hysek was in 2008, which doesn’t do the man as an artist and designer, nor the brand HYSEK justice. Jorg Hysek was born in Berlin in 1953 and emigrated to Switzerland in 1960. After graduating from the Central School of Art in London, and spending four […]

Last year we reported about the launching of Angelus. The brand as we know it in the vintage market is the equivalent of extremely high quality with in-house movements and historically significant pieces. Some if you might remember the #TBT I did a few months back on my vintage Angelus 215 L.E. and I’m happy to say that more vintage heat from Angelus is in the pipeline.
