Ressence TYPE 11

On:

Reading Time: 4 minutesI have been following Ressence since the very beginning, and I say this without reservation: few independent brands today carry the clarity of vision that Benoît Mintiens brings to each new piece. The TYPE 11, unveiled for Watches and Wonders 2026, is the brand’s most complete watch to date. ItContinue Reading

Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 2TV.1

On:

Reading Time: 4 minutesThere are watches that hide their brilliance behind a closed caseback and those that put everything on show. Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud spent a decade firmly in the first camp, and I found it genuinely fascinating. Now, with the Chronomètre FB 2TV.1, the brand flips the entire premise: every critical complicationContinue Reading

Corum

On:

Reading Time: 5 minutesWhen CORUM opened the doors of its historic manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds on 1st April 2026 for an exclusive preview, I was not in the room.

Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Flying Bridges

On:

Reading Time: 4 minutesGirard-Perregaux has carried the minute repeater in its DNA since Jean-François Bautte first developed striking mechanisms in the early 19th century. That heritage, however, has never looked quite like this. Introduced today, the Minute Repeater Flying Bridges houses the brand-new GP9530 calibre, the third in-house grand complication movement the manufactureContinue Reading

Dennison ALD Safari Capsule

On:

Reading Time: 2 minutesDennison has never been a brand that plays it safe. The London-based watchmaker, whose initials honour founder Aaron Lufkin Dennison, has consistently built the ALD collection around a distinctive cushion case and a commitment to bold dial materials. The Safari Capsule pushes that philosophy further into jewellery-watch territory, presenting twoContinue Reading
