Hands-On: All-New Rolex Land-Dweller Watch In White Rolesor

3 weeks ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

The Rolex Land-Dweller watches are indeed all-new, and not just by the standards of Rolex — the brand that has more time than any other to support achingly slow-paced product updates. This article has everything you need to know about the newest, freshest, and arguably most oddly named Rolex watch, the Land-Dweller. First, a quick recap of the basics, with more in our debut article.

New Release: Chopard L.U.C Quattro Watch Updated For 25th Anniversary

3 weeks ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

The Chopard L.U.C Quattro is a watch enthusiast-enticing package if there ever was one. It may have flown under the radar of many a watch lover thanks to its restrained impression, but underneath that elegant exterior it has always been about pure performance. 25 years after its debut, Chopard gives it an update, probably in anticipation of another quarter of a century of Quattro goodness.
New Release: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 Watch In Art Deco Style

Some watches stick with you. In the back of the mind, somewhere, they just click and stick, like a little Lego. One such watch from almost a decade ago is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon. If you recall, the Gyrotourbillon I and Gyrotourbillon II used to be enormous watches, especially the latter — one of the thickest, bulkiest, and heaviest Reversos the brand has ever created.
Hands-On Debut: IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41 Watch In Steel

3 weeks ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

How do you expand a watch line? When you establish or (re-establish) a three-hand model, and it’s a hit, what do you do with it next? The platform you’ve created serves as a canvas for basically anything you want — especially with brands’ willingness to shove a quadruple deluxe hydrotourbillon minute repeater with chain and fusee into even the most unsuspecting watch.
Watch Review: Bell & Ross BR-03 Astro

4 weeks ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

It is so great to still be excited about a new watch launch — and it’s almost as great to receive a physical sample weeks, as opposed to months or more, after that fortuitous impression. When I first saw the Bell & Ross BR-03 Astro watch (reference BR03A-EMM-CE/SRB), something about it just clicked for me.
Hands-On: MB&F M.A.D.2 Green Watch By Eric Giroud

This is why we can’t have nice things. Okay, maybe that’s overly dramatic, but suffice it to say that I was looking forward to wearing this sweet new MB&F M.A.D.2 green watch by Eric Giroud for about two weeks, all the way until the late-March embargo expired, to be able to give you a full review.
Grinding Gears: The Watch Industry Should Celebrate Its Own Stars More

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Wait, did I just say “stars?” Yes, although not in the “MEDIA ALERT!” way that grinds my gears, but in a more meaningful and specific way. A couple of months ago, out of the blue, it dawned on me that the watch industry has become so achingly lacking in charismatic figures.
Hands-On: Rolex Day-Date 36 Watch With Roman Numerals

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Truth be told, I have a soft spot for the Rolex Day-Date 36. Perhaps it’s understandable, then, that I was a bit jealous when the Day-Date 40 received cool-looking, deconstructed Roman numerals back in 2015 — but the 36, the OG, did not. I have never been so quick to spend my imaginary dollars elsewhere. Some 9 years later — slow, even by Rolex standards — the company finally brought this unique take on applied indices to the original-sized version.
New Release: Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic Is The First Multicolor Ceramic Watch

2 months ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic watch finally marks a big new chapter for the brand’s “art of fusion” ethos, as it debuts as the world’s first multicolor ceramic timepiece. As with any “world’s first” claims, this one also comes with its own fine print, and requires some digging into. We are only so happy to explore the latest and greatest from the materials sciences skunkworks that is Hublot.
