he last story that I wrote in 2023 was the final Moonwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold (or so we think). It's only January of 2024 and Swatch is at it again, unleashing a new surprise variation on one of its recent collaborations – but this is no MoonSwatch. Just four months after Swatch and Blancpain collaborated on the Scuba Fifty collection, the two brands are set to release a sixth model in the line known as the Ocean of Storms. I was in Biel/Bienne late last year to get a sneak peek at the...

As a journalist specializing in luxury timepieces, I'm often asked that question, and the answer, aside from the fact that most original vintage watch models are hard to find, is that modern watches are better. Modern remakes of vintage watch designs are better than their original counterparts because of modern engineering and manufacturing processes. They're made of better materials, with more precisely engineered components and above all,...

N HARTOV Blancpain “Firsts” are a common trope in watchmaking lore. The first automatic chronograph. The first pilot’s watch. The first dive watch. Certain of these historical claims are well-defined and easy to certify.
