The Gruen Airflight – A Watch With A Smart Complication For Under $1000USD

Looks like a watch with 24 date windows, no? Well, look again. Let’s not beat around the bush: the Gruen Airflight has twelve see-through apertures in the dial. At 1 pm a thin under-the-dial plate shifts automatically to expose the numerals 13 through 24. How cool?! My problem When I unboxed my Gruen Airflight, I […]

Hands-On: Longines Skin Diver Review

Longines Skin Diver

They are also doing it with a very small but talented design team in house. I should know, I’ve met them in Basel last year (thank […]

The Rolex Daytona 16528 That Was Gifted By Ayrton Senna

Ayrton Senna Rolex Daytona 16528

Ayrton Senna is the legendary (and three times World Champion) F1 driver who passed away 25 years ago (already). Today we show you a watch he gave to his mentor, Angelo Parrilla, who ‘discovered’ Senna when he was 18 years old in 1978. Last Sunday was packed with sports for me. Meaning I watched the 1000th […]

Hands-On With The Seiko Prospex LX SNR029J Divers Watch

Compared to a decade ago, Seiko (and Grand Seiko) achieved to be on the radar of many watch enthusiasts. And where other (Swiss and German) brands used to smirk a bit upon hearing the name Seiko, they now pay close attention. Just before Baselworld, we saw the new Seiko Prospex LX SNR029J under embargo.
