Watch Review: Rosenbusch The Quest RB200 Midnight Blue & Emerald Green

5 days ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Call me slow if you want to, but it was now, while looking at the review sample of this Rosenbusch The Quest RB200 watch, that the following revelation finally dawned on me: the defining trend of recent years is telling us that we just have to grow to accept a new genre of watches.
Watch Review: IFLW Bulova Super Seville Mural With Unique Hand-Painted Dial

1 week ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Folks spraying subway cars, alleyways, and industrial compounds of NYC with the origins of graffiti for the Big Apple are now in their 60s, 70s, and beyond — and I’m sure, few of them would have bet at the time that their expressions would eventually end up on a Bulova watch dial in 2025. But it did, surrounded by another visual expression that traces its roots to the 1970s: the Super Seville.
Grinding Gears: The Effects Of Watch Consumers Not Caring About Watches & Watchmaking

1 week ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Important disclaimer: This article is not a jab at those who know little to nothing about watches, or simply less than you or me. It is not a celebration of watch-enthusiast supremacy, either. Rather, I dedicate this Grinding Gears column to a “this is why we can’t have nice things” conundrum and how luxury watch brands came to realize and, indeed, utilize it to their benefit. On another day, maybe we can discuss whether knowing more about a watch makes one any more worthy of owning said watch.
Hands-On: All-New Rolex Land-Dweller Watch In White Rolesor

1 month 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

1 month 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

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

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

1 month 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

1 month 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

2 months ago | ablogtowatch.com | Eric Giroud |aBlogto Watch |David Bredan

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.
