New Release: This Is The First-Ever Mechanical Casio, The Edifice EFK-100 In Forged Carbon

1 week ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Excited? Disappointed? Indifferent? I wonder how the watch enthusiast community feels about the long-awaited, first-ever mechanical Casio watch, the Casio Edifice EFK-100. Well, it’s official: Here it is, and I, for one, feel all three ways at once. Casio Computer Co., Ltd., as none of us ever call it, just announced the addition of five totally new models to its Edifice watch collection that is based “on the brand concept of Speed & Intelligence” (kid you not).
Grinding Gears: Watch Brands Are Not Actually Proud Of Their Heritage

1 week ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

I get it, the title makes a strange statement after more or less a decade dominated by watch releases with heritage, anniversary, or tribute in their names. And yet, as it dawned on me, watch brands are indeed either ignorant, negligent, ashamed, or overwhelmed by their history — the very heritage that many of them simply can’t stop talking about or getting hyper-focused on when planning their “new” products. So, why do they do such a terrible job caring for it?
Watch Review: Albishorn Type 10 Chronograph Vintage-Style Watch

Possibly the lowest common denominator among we humans is the desire to press a big red button.
New Release: Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control & Classic Chronograph Watches

2 weeks ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

2025 marks the 38th consecutive year for Chopard as the World Sponsor and Official Timekeeper of what Enzo Ferrari described as “la corsa più bella del mondo,” the “Most Beautiful Race In The World” — Mille Miglia. This time, Chopard returns with two new iterations on familiar Mille Miglia models, the GTS and the Classic Chronograph.
New Release: AI-Designed G-Shock MTG-B4000 Is The Latest High-End G-Shock

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

Look, Casio, I am not mad — just disappointed. The latest-greatest, top-tier, AI-designed G-Shock MT-G watches, specifically the G-Shock MTG-B4000B-1A2 and MTG-B4000-1A, debuted on YouTube (which would have been all well and good), and yet we have not heard a single word officially from Casio on this release. How could anything with “4000” in its name be launched this quietly? Anyway, let’s dig into what makes this an exciting new chapter in the history of MT-G ultra-high-end G-Shock watches.
Hands-On Debut: The All-New MB&F Special Projects Collection & SP One Watch

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

The all-new MB&F Special Projects Collection and its SP One debut watch might just be the first release in my 12 years of covering the brand where I did not immediately know what to say about it or how best to approach it. While the MB&F Horological Machines used to be bombastic, futuristic and/or organic in their designs, Legacy Machines used to be historic watchmaking with a retro-futuristic flair — and so much more beyond. The SP One? Both and yet none of those things all at once.
New Release: Ulysse Nardin Diver Hammerhead Shark Watch

1 month ago | ablogtowatch.com | David Bredan

What’s cooler than a dive watch? Easy. A dive watch with a hammerhead shark on it! Actually, I can’t think of a single thing that would not be made cooler with a hammerhead shark on it. You might disagree, and if so, then the new Ulysse Nardin Diver Hammerhead Shark watch is probably not for you. I love watches and watchmaking because, every once in a while, they shed light on something awesome or someone inspiring.
Watch Review: Rosenbusch The Quest RB200 Midnight Blue & Emerald Green

1 month 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 month 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 month 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.
