Tourbillon Organic Skeleton by Kees Engelbarts

The Kees Engelbarts Tourbillon Organic Skeleton (Archive)

September 30, 2018/1 Comment/in Highlights, Independents, Kees Engelbarts/by Elizabeth Doerr

Extraordinary engraver Kees Engelbarts loves his skeletonized watches as they do very much showcase his art form. “I wanted to make another kind of skeleton watch,” he says about his latest creation called Tourbillon Organic Skeleton. “Most skeleton watches are, as you know, very symmetric. My plan was to make a skeleton watch without a drawing or plan before starting, by just taking away material from the base plate and bridges that is not needed.”

International Chronometry Competition 2019 Decides That The Best Way Out Of A Hole Is To Keep Digging. And Expects Us To Watch

September 27, 2018/3 Comments/in Highlights, Events, Fairs & Exhibitions/by Ian Skellern

The 2019 International Chronometry Competition sent out a press release on September 13, 2018, and Ian Skellern opened his mail with eager anticipation. The relaunch of the modern Chronometry Competitions began in 2009 and continued biannually in 2011, 2013, and 2015 before hitting pause due to declining interest from brands and the watch community alike. And he doesn’t see much change for the better this time around. Find out why right here.

Ikepod: Just Another Mystical Phoenix-Burns-In-Fire-Then-Reborn-Better-Than-Ever Story. Except That This One Is True

September 23, 2018/8 Comments/in Highlights, Affordable Luxury, Ikepod/by Joshua Munchow

Ikepod was born 24 years ago and has since died not once, but twice (well, three times, sort of). It is now coming back for an overdue third coming. Joshua Munchow thinks that the third time’s a charm for this iconic brand from the 1990s.

Why I Pimped My Rolex (Archive)

September 22, 2018/35 Comments/in Highlights, Collectors and Collecting, Rolex/by What Makes Me Tick

But when the day finally came that it was time to wear his new Rolex, he took it out of the box and proudly put it on his wrist. And then horror struck. He didn’t feel anything, not a thing! Zilch, nada, niente! What to do?
