They seek to modernise and redefine the concept of tool watches, drawing inspiration from historic timepieces from the 20th century. I have been an avid follower of the brand as their vision statement really resonated with me. In the

Owner Review: Panerai PAM 359 – The incarnation of cool

I went into the local AD to have a look at the Rolex Milgauss. Actually, I was planning to buy one. While trying it on and talking watches, the salesman (who really knew what he was talking about (he is a watchmaker) and was a good salesperson, too) said “in this price range, we also

Please excuse the preamble, but many of my watches are acquired because of a connection with the watchmaker behind them. I first met Emmanuel Dietrich in about 2012/2013 at a small fringe independent brand show in Geneva, the GTE (Geneva Time exhibition or something) at around SIHH time. He was an industrial designer and was
