Introducing the updated Frederique Constant Classics Quartz GMT
Last month, we were given word that the entirety of the Frederique Constant Classics lineup was getting a bit of a freshening up. Across the line, these are clean and competent pieces. However, for me, there was just one that jumped out and made me take notice – the Frederique Constant Classics Quartz GMT.
Introducing the Toolwatch Essential Watchbox
As you may or may not know, Toolwatch started out as an app to help you record and track the accuracy of your watches, without needing to resort to more expensive setups that rely on microphones at the like. Maybe not as precise, but close enough for government work, eh? Well, they’ve also been dabbling in some accessories, and one of the latest is an interesting box for your watches, the Toolwatch Essential Watchbox.
Introducing the Magrette Kaitiaki
Fine engraving on a watch is a tradition with a long history. Typically, that sort of work shows up on very high-end movements. However, skilled artisans have been known to work their skills on watch cases as well. I remember the first time I saw photos of a Rolex that had it done, and I was enthralled. One day, I can hopefully have a watch that is a canvas for an engraver. If you’re the same, and looking for a way to spend your stimulus money, perhaps the Magrette Kaitiaki is what the doctor ordered.
Introducing Swatch x MoMA
We all know Swatch watches – the classic, core line – as those colorful, plastic watches that get the job done (of telling time) while bringing hits of color to the wrist.

In review: Undone Arabian Nights
If you recall, we first brought you word of the Undone Arabian Nights not all that long ago. As I mentioned in that writeup, we were looking into getting a review unit in, and, well, we did just that. Read on for our hands-on impressions of the Undone Arabian Nights.
The Undone x Popeye & Friends – and an invite to get your own
The crew over at Undone are no strangers to working characters from the comic strips into their watches. While you might think of a cheerful rodent from Florida when it comes to a character watch, why not something a bit more, shall we say, human? Starting today, there’s a super-limited edition that you can get a special invite to purchase – the Undone x Popeye & Friends.
Breitling’s New Subscription Service Lets You ‘Try Before You Buy’
Some very interesting news out of Breitling today with the launch of a new subscription service called Breitling Select. Launching today in the US (and earmarked for some time in the future in additional countries including the UK, France, and Germany ), it allows consumers to “try before they buy,” perhaps taking some of the sting out of immediately shelling out a couple thousand dollars for one.
