Ulysse Nardin Announces New Proprietary Silicon Anchor Escapement

Creating a proprietary escapement is perhaps the ultimate challenge for all watchmakers, regardless of whether we are speaking about a craftsman working alone or about an entire company producing thousands or hundreds of thousands of watches. The escapement is the arrangement of components responsible for transferring the energy coming from the mainspring barrel through the going train (the series of wheels linked to the mainspring barrel) onto the balance wheel.In other words, the escapement plays a major role in dividing each "beat" into equal doses, as every "tick" of the escapemen

Oris Calobra Limited Edition Racing Watch

While we are enduring fans of all things "dive + Oris", their racing-inspired watches have always been both a great deal and great looking. This new limited edition Calobra model for 2013 is a shining example of how Oris does motorsports-themed watches right.

I am glad that Bell & Ross look

Christopher Ward C20 Lido Automatic Watch Review

This is the Christopher Ward C20 Lido (Ref. C20SST). A tribute to the 1960s watch designs of IWC and others, to me it bears a likeness to the IWC Ingenieur, especially the bezel and lugs:Which is fine with me. I've long admired the Ingenieur, but the price is an obstacle, and I actually dislike their bezel - five screw holes? Why not 12, like Christoper Ward did? At least then they're hour markers. Anyway, back to the Lido.The Lido first came out last year in a quartz version, still available and a fine choice for gifts and those not afflicted with the mechanical movement obse
