I’ll make the inevitable Rolex comparison right up front. The Submariner is the iconic, always popular Rolex diver, while the technically superior Sea-Dweller (and its variants) take a bit of a back seat. In Omega’s world, the always popular Seamaster Diver 300M is comparable to the Submariner, while the Seamaster Planet Ocean is the technically […]

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to experience the Montreal Grand Prix from an insider's perspective, courtesy of H. Moser & Cie's partnership with the Alpine F1 team. The Swiss manufacturer has been sponsoring Alpine since last year, recently solidifying this relationship with the release of two striking new timepieces ahead of the Barcelona Grand Prix—the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition.

Breguet is on a roll right now, and what better timing could they have? The brand is embarking on a world tour to celebrate its 250th birthday with a series of exceptional releases that reflect its storied heritage. First was Paris with the Classique Souscription. Then Shanghai with the Tradition Seconde Rétrograde, which was inspired by their Montre à Tact pocket watches.
