It's hard to beat the appeal of a travel watch-even in a time when we're travelling a whole lot less. First of all, they're super functional, as someone who Googles 'International meeting planner' on a weekly basis, being able to glance down at the wrist and quickly gauge the time in some...

Was it only 14-odd months ago that Audemars Piguet released the 11:59? A watch which caused an expulsion of (mostly unwarranted, IMO) vitriol, going down in history as an ugly benchmark example of internet pack mentality? It turns out it was, and boy, what a difference a year can make. The 11:59...

In summer of 2019, Watchuseek team visited Junghans museum in the Black Forest region. Remember the good old days when we could travel and drink beer sitting at the same table. Ann-Katrin, Head of Trade Marketing of Junghans, was kind to take us on a private tour of the museum and present to...

The Guinand Flight Engineer is a technical pilot watch featuring a soft iron inner cage with magnetic protection up to 1000 Gauss (80,00 A/m). Flight Engineer flieger is in good company with Rolex Milgauss and Sinn EZM 3, which both offer the same antimagnetic resistance. For a normal watch...

While it may not qualify as one of those 'where were you when…' moments, the forthcoming launch of the Seiko Prospex 55 th Anniversary Collection is certainly a milestone for Seiko and its ardent global tribe of dive watch collectors. Two years ago, Seiko launched the 1968 Automatic...

In late 2019, Mühle-Glashütte celebrated its' 150th anniversary with release of limited edition pilot watch in collaboration with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (a watch that we reported on here ). In February 2020, before COVID-19 virus cancelled all the watch shows, Mühle...

Hamilton is about to release the Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Automatic , and if you like a little history to your field watch, it doesn't come any richer than Hamilton. The brand, originally founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, has been producing reliable timekeepers for the military...

In 2019, Sinn collaborated with The Rake & Revolution magazine on a homage to the military 1550SG, which they marketed as Sinn 155 Dark Star. Dark Star was a limited edition of 150 pieces, and it sold out briskly. Following the success of this collaboration, Sinn decided to release its' own...

There was a time not too long ago when it would have been possible to slip these brand-new Omega Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometers on the wrist and take pictures of them as they sparkled live and longingly under Baselworld halogen lighting-how things change. As of last year, Omega, owned by...
