COVER STORY

THE ESSENTIAL DAILY WEARER

  • By Roger Ruegger | Baume & Mercier’s new Baumatic not only promises to be a versatile, modern mechanical watch at an extremely attractive price – it also combines a classic look with a state-of-the-art proprietary movement.

TESTS & REVIEWS

JUST NOW

  • By Martina Richter | The Rolex Datejust epitomizes the classic wristwatch. We tested the latest stainless-steel model with the new manufacture Caliber 3235 movement under conditions that simulate daily life.

THE YEAR OF THE OCTO

  • By Roger Ruegger | Bulgari’s top-seller not only broke four more horological records in 2018, the collection also saw the introduction of three additional case materials.

DIVING WITH AN EDGE

  • By Alexander Krupp | The BR 03-92 Diver from Bell & Ross offers an exciting new adaptation of the brand’s distinctive square case and stays watertight to 300 meters.

BRONZE & CAMO

  • By Mark Bernado | The limited-edition Anonimo Militare Alpini combines a bronze case, a camouflage guilloché dial and a bespoke modular chronograph movement.

TREKKING PEAK

  • By Logan R. Baker | At the heart of the expanded Montblanc 1858 collection is an entry-level chronograph with utilitarian appeal and a dash of old-school charm for good measure.

SUBMERSIBLE STOPWATCH

  • By Mark Bernado | Oris added a chronograph to its sporty Aquis collection this year. How does this big, blue-dialed timepiece perform as both timekeeper and wrist wardrobe?

THE RETURN OF JAPAN’S FIRST HI-BEAT DIVER

  • By Roger Ruegger | Seiko’s 1968 Diver’s Re-creation with a Hi-Beat in-house caliber made quite the splash in Basel this year. We find out how it holds up to the previous Prospex versions.

ICE AGE

  • By Jens Koch | Panerai’s Luminor Submersible is part of the brand’s long tradition of making diving instruments for military frogmen. We subjected this model to the ultimate test: ice diving!

FEATURES

CITIZEN’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

  • By Logan R. Baker |The Japanese watchmaker celebrates its 100th birthday this year. We take a look at the brand’s past, its future, and why Citizen is bigger — and more influential — than ever before.

THE SPIRIT OF FIFTYSIX

  • By Mark Bernardo and Roger Ruegger | We talk with Vacheron Constantin’s Christian Selmoni about the retro-contemporary FiftySix collection.

ONE HAND AT A TIME

  • By Logan R. Baker | A single-handed approach to timekeeping was a complete gambit starting out. Seventeen years later, it’s clear that MeisterSinger has carved out its own lane in the industry.

LA DOLCE OROLOGIO

  • By Mark Bernardo | Buoyed by a surprise Geneva Grand Prix win for its most historically significant model, Eberhard & Co. is making the U.S. sit up and take notice.
