TESTS & REVIEWS
MULTIFACETED
By Martina Richter | The thinnest mechanical timepiece with a stopwatch function is the fifth world record to be held by Bulgari — an automatic chronograph with peripheral rotor, columnwheel control, classical horizontal clutch and practical time-zone function. We conducted an exclusive test.
THE HARD WAY
By Jens Koch |IWC protects its pilots’ watch with split-seconds chronograph with a new scratch- and shatter-resistant case made of high-tech material. It’s ready to go beyond the eponymous Top Gun School for fighter pilots.
QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT
By Martina Richter |The Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Silicium is perfect for water sports and it’s so stylish that it’s also great to wear after sports. Its Powermatic 80 Caliber with silicon hairspring adds a technical upgrade. It accompanied our photographer for a long-term test.

A DIGITAL DECADE
By Nitin Nair | A retrospective of A. Lange & Söhne’s iconoclastic timepiece, the Zeitwerk, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019.
