Introducing: The Breguet Classique Souscription 2025 — A Celebratory Model For The Maison's 250th Anniversary (Live Pics) What We Know To celebrate its 250th anniversary, Breguet is reaching into the archives — not for a tourbillon or a complication-laden pocket watch, but for a then-revolutionary idea that once brought high-end watchmaking to a wider audience. The word "souscription" is now firmly a part of the enthusiast watch world lexicon, yet its use is always a cap doff to the greatest watchmaker to ever live, Abraham-Louis Breguet. The Breguet Classique Souscription 2025 It's time for a quick history lesson. In 1775, Abraham-Louis Breguet established his workshop (and "brand") in Paris. From the beginning, Breguet produced watches on a level unmatched elsewhere, earning a reputation for innovation and elegance among Europe's elite, but their excellence came at a price few could afford outside royal circles. Around this time, the political...

Hands-On: Breitling Top Time B01 Martini Racing

Hands-On: Breitling Top Time B01 Martini Racing The revival and resurgence of Breitling since 2017 has been a serious business. Led by CEO Georges Kern, the private equity-backed company has vaulted itself back into the top 10 Swiss brands by sales, refocusing around heavyweight names in its collection, most notably the Navitimer, Chronomat, and Superocean models.

In a nicely-sized daily driver Top Time, Breitling introduced us to its new three-hand in-house manufacture movement, the B31, that Malaika first told us about in March. While the time and date model's round cased aesthetic was fairly classic, the cheeky orange seconds hand demanded a grin.

Introducing: The Nodus x 'Beers And Cameras' Obscura – A Watch For Analog Photographers

Introducing: The Nodus x 'Beers And Cameras' Obscura – A Watch For Analog Photographers What We Know Do you have a fridge full of Portra 400? If so, Nodus has a new watch for you. Created in collaboration with Beers And Cameras , a photography community and online platform with chapters in several cities around the United States, and dubbed "The Obscura," this new Nodus collab features a newly patented feature called the Exposure Gauge Complication. It allows the bezel and rehaut to gauge exposure following the Sunny 16 rule. We'll get to the novel functionality in a moment, but let's start with the basics. The Obscura is a steel sports watch with a dive-style layout on a 38mm wide case that is 40mm across the bezel, 11.7mm thick, and 47mm lug to lug. The water resistance is 100m, and the watch comes with a steel bracelet (with quick release and Nodus' NodeX tool-less micro adjust) and a rubber strap.  Offering a time-only layout, the Obscura is powe...
