A New Astral Body Is Born: The Arnold & Son Nebula
With its latest skeleton watch Nebula, Arnold & Son looks to the stars and the earth in equal measure. Nebula features a brand new movement conceived from the ground up with a specific design and sense of purpose. The beautiful symmetry of the result clearly shows as much, and first thing that grabs you about this timepiece is its visual balance. The next thing that will grab you is its price.
Reevaluation And Regrouping: MCT Sequential S210
One of my absolute favorite watch brands is Manufacture Contemporaine Du Temps, otherwise known as MCT. The new Sequential S210 is a combination of both previous and new design cues, and it represents the base concept for future development. While MCT has been around since the mid-naughties, the last two or three years have been the most transformative.
The Zenith Christophe Colomb Tribute To The Rolling Stones Is A Limited Edition Of The Highest Order
On March 25, 2016 the Rolling Stones will perform in Cuba for the very first time. And to celebrate this milestone in the history of the band (and history in general), Zenith presents the Christophe Colomb Tribute to The Rolling Stones. If you’re a fan of high watchmaking and a fan of this brand, you will love this colorful, complicated timepiece.
It’s Not What You Think: Angelus U20 Ultra-Skeleton Tourbillon
While at first sight it appears far less “outlandish” than the U10, there is little about the Angelus U20 Ultra-Skeleton Tourbillon that is actually conventional or trendy, beside the fact that it has a round case.
Conceptually, at least, one could say that the U20 picks up right where the previous release called the U10 left off, experimenting with transparency and spotlighting skeletonization.
And what else?
Get Ready For Amazing: Corum’s Golden Bridge Ronde
At Baselworld 2016, Corum presented the Golden Bridge Ronde designed by Italian jewelry designer Dino Modolo. Modolo was influenced by San Francisco’s Golden Gate: the suspension bridge’s tall towers, cables, crisscrossed railings, and rivets are immediately recognizable in the new version of the classic’s case.
Fabergé’s Visionnaire DTZ: A Surprising Way To Display A Second Time Zone
At Baselworld 2016, Fabergé introduced a new men’s model with a freshly developed, highly imaginative movement: the Visionnaire DTZ. The Visionnaire DTZ is a GMT watch conceived to display two time zones. But it does that so neatly and concisely that you hardly notice that there are two time zones showing on the watch when you look at it.
Surprising Ties That Bind: Chanel And Romain Gauthier
Romain Gauthier, the independent watchmaker at home in Le Sentier, Switzerland and the French fashion icon Chanel, are bound by more than a passing working relationship: Chanel now reveals that it owns a “friendly” stake in Romain Gauthier. The seeds of this seemingly disparate partnership between Chanel and Romain Gauthier were sown during a meeting that took place at the 2011 edition of Baselworld. At Baselworld 2016 it comes full circle with the Monsieur de Chanel.
Introducing The Exquisite Slim d’Hermès Email Grand Feu
La Montre Hermès now creates top-of-the-line, aesthetically coherent, and mechanically interesting watches. And this statement is true in two watch categories: ultra-high-end, complicated haute horlogerie and daily wearer. At Baselworld 2016, Hermès returns to the beautiful Slim d’Hermès. And for me, the biggest launch among these is indubitably the exquisite Slim d’Hermès Email Grand Feu.

Buckle up and step inside to find out as Casey chooses his favorite six supercars from the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
Why I Bought It: A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual In White Gold
The date: January 13, 2012. The place: Glashütte, Germany, where one of my best friends had arranged for the two of us to visit A. Lange & Söhne. The vision: my friend extended his arm from the sleeve of his shirt, and what I saw left me reeling – my first view of the Lange Datograph Perpetual in white gold. I was confident from that very moment that this was a watch for me; but pursuit of the piece took four long years.
