June 20, 2023 – If there’s one watch customizing house that consistently gets us a bit hot under the collar, it’s Artisans de Genève. They stand head and shoulders above the rest, creating breathtaking works of art that can be worn, each with a beautiful back story to complement the work. Their latest project, ‘Caumasee’ is no exception, a Patek Philippe Aquanaut 324 caliber reimagined in royal ebony, almond blue and rose gold. Reflecting the feelings the owner experiences whilst

June 02, 2023 – If getting a normal Rolex Cosmograph Daytona wasn’t hard enough, Rolex have announced a very, very limited run of special pieces to mark 100 years of the legendary 24Hrs of Le Mans race.

May 26, 2023 – Err…. It’s not often we’re stunned in to silence when feasting our eyes on something Rolex but different. Hats off to ‘luxury’ brand Caviar for silencing us with their artful butchering of a perfectly good Cosmograph Daytona in the quest to make an iPhone case for those with too much money and very little, if any taste. We’re considering launching a petition to ban them from all Arts & Crafts Shops to ensure they don’t cause

May 11, 2023 – One of the reasons we started our business, was to try and bring nice watches into the hands of people that either don’t want, or simply can’t afford to pay the insane grey market prices for new Rolex watches.

The clever people over at Watch Analytics have spotted the first of these GMT models to hit the

April 12, 2023 – The breathtaking talents of Artisans De Genève strike again. Their latest project, ‘The Uncatchable’ is not only an incredible timepiece, it belongs to an incredible client, with a story most of us have relived through the brilliant Catch Me if You Can movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Frank Abagnale Jnr, on whom the film is based, is Artisan’s latest client, securing their services to reimagine his faithful travel companion, a much battered and well-travelled GMT-Master. The result

March 7, 2023 – The Swatch Omega collab of 2022 that took the watch world by storm is back today with a new twist! The Mission to the Moon edition is getting a rather cool sibling, with the seconds hand now being made from Omega’s Moonshine™ Gold.

February 20, 2023 – Next up in the seemingly endless list of watchmakers celebrating anniversaries in 2023 comes Frederique Constantin. A relative youngtimer compared to some of this year’s birthday numbers, the Swiss brand blows the candles out to mark 35 years in the business.
