The world of watchmaking is often associated with tradition, heritage, and established conventions. Every so often, however, a brand emerges that challenges expectations and introduces a fresh perspective to horology. Lucky Harvey is one of those rare brands. Founded in 2021, Lucky Harvey has rapidly gained international attention for creating some of the most original and entertaining mechanical watches available today. Rather than simply telling time, Lucky Harvey timepiece

The world of watchmaking is often guided by tradition. Chronographs, in particular, tend to follow familiar design codes inspired by motorsport, aviation, or military heritage. With the launch of the Cassiel II, however, MAKINA has chosen a different path. As the newest flagship model from the independent, family-run watchmaker, the Cassiel II represents the brand's most ambitious project to date and its first-ever automatic chronograph. More importantly, it embodies MAKINA's

When you think of 1814, what comes to mind? If you’re a history buff, you might think of the chaotic fallout of the Napoleonic Wars. If you’re Norwegian, 1814 is the ultimate mic-drop moment in national history. But if you’re a watch enthusiast, 1814 represents something entirely different: a masterclass in hyper-exclusive, micro-engraved horology. Let’s dive into how a freezing cold assembly of rebellious Norwegians in 1814 directly inspired one of the rarest, most poetic l

Time is Precious. We’re Making It Last Longer. They say you don’t ever really own a luxury watch; you just look after it for the next generation. At Fathers®, we took that sentiment literally. When we started this journey, we wanted to create more than just a tool for keeping time. We wanted to build a legacy—something that survives the bumps, the dives, and the decades. Today, we’re taking that commitment a step further with some news we think you’re going to love. The Fathe

Ever looked at a Swiss watch and thought, "This is great, but it lacks the soul of a Viking crossing the Atlantic in a lifeboat?" No? Well, Øyvind Von Doren Asbjørnsen did. Founded in 2016 in the Art Nouveau capital of Ålesund, Von Doren isn’t just making "Norwegian-style" watches. They are bottling the dramatic landscapes of the Sunnmøre Alps and the sleek, organic curves of Norwegian architecture, then powering them with high-grade Swiss hearts. It’s the horological equiva

I have a confession to make, I have secretly been cheating on my traditional watches with some of Extreme best creations, the NX2 Ultralight and X2 Manual Wind. Now, why did I do that? let me explain: - Bespoke manual wind movement made with exotic materials, crazy colours included. - Unhinged and truly unmistakably unique case made of alloys created with dark magic to be indestructible. - A "glass" or better, a "transparent material" that is not possible to scratch and I cou

​Forget the "luxury" brands that spend more on billboards than gears. Today, we’re talking about Armand Nicolet—the Swiss brand that’s been quietly out-classing the competition since 1875. ​If you like your watches with a side of heritage and a dash of "if you know, you know," pull up a chair. ​ The Tramelan Secret ​Most watch brands are born in a boardroom. Armand Nicolet was born in a workshop in Tramelan, a tiny village in the Jura Mountains. Armand (the man, the legend) w

In 2026, RALF TECH and CNES continue their collaboration by unveiling a new exceptional timepiece: the WRX SUPERNOVA MILLENIUM.

Between the ocean depths and the immensity of the cosmos, the WRX SUPERNOVA MILLENIUM embodies the invisible link that unites these two opposing worlds. In the abyss, an environment where pressure and darkness rede

In the world of horology, some stories are written through tradition, others through training. And then there are those, like Bogdan’s, shaped by pure determination, passion, and an unwavering connection to time itself. Bogdan’s journey began in 2016, when he arrived in England carrying not only his belongings, but a deeply rooted ambition — to own his first truly iconic watch. For him, this was not simply a purchase. It was a symbol. A milestone. A companion for a personal j

In an era dominated by mass production, true individuality in watchmaking has become increasingly rare. Qaiser represents a different path — one defined by passion, craftsmanship, and a deeply personal approach to horology. From the very beginning, Qaiser’s journey into watchmaking was driven by a fascination with mechanical timepieces — not merely as instruments of time, but as objects of character and expression. To him, a watch should do more than function; it should captu

How Berlin’s Design Heritage Lives On in Fine Watches Berlin Few design movements have shaped the modern world as profoundly as Bauhaus . Born in Germany in the early 20th century, Bauhaus rejected unnecessary ornamentation in favour of clarity, balance, and purpose. Its philosophy was simple yet radical: form follows function . Architecture, typography, furniture—and eventually product design—were transformed by this idea, creating a visual language that remains timeless to

At Fathers, the bezel is far more than a frame: it is a defining, iconic element that embodies innovation, resilience, and style. Our patented bezel is the clearest expression of this philosophy. Diver Horizon Patented Sandwich Bezel Distinctive Design, Advanced Construction The Fathers patented

A Masterpiece of Design Drawing its DNA directly from the Megara Hypercar Prototype , this timepiece is far more than a simple brand collaboration. It represents a 'phygital' milestone: every owner of the physical watch receives a high-definition 3D digital pla

"Every dream starts as a spark—an idea that keeps you awake at night. For me, that spark was born on the asphalt of the Megara Circuit, where passion for speed met the beauty of Greece. I imagined a watch that would capture this feeling: the thrill of performance, the elegance of heritage, and the soul of innovation. I wanted more than a timepiece. I wanted a story you could wear. The Megara Limited Edition is that story. The Megara's dial mimics the grey of the grippy asphal
