As the 2022 edition of Watches & Wonders just wrapped up, let's take a closer look at all the new Tudor watches that were released this year.

One of the world’s most famous luxury houses, Cartier offers a wide range of high-end goods like jewelry, fragrance, leather goods, and of course, watches.

I have a soft spot for pink gold chronograph watches. The marriage of a masculine chronograph silhouette with a feminine pink gold shade is incredibly appealing to me. And in terms of luxury pink gold chronographs, it doesn’t get much better than an Everose gold Rolex Daytona.

The Watches & Wonders 2022 show just wrapped up, where for the first time in two years, watch industry insiders congregated in person at the Palexpo convention center in Geneva, Switzerland. Over the last week, some of the world’s biggest watch brands unveiled their new timepieces for 2022.

As popular Rolex models become harder to find (and pricier), some shoppers are looking for other options. Thankfully, there’s Tudor, launched by Hans Wilsdorf in the early 20th century as a more affordable alternative to his beloved Rolex brand. So if you can't find the Rolex of your dreams, then why not give Tudor a go? There's a good chance you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what’s available — and how much they cost.

Omega is one of the most respected and popular luxury watch brands in the world, boasting a wide assortment of watch styles. Whether you’re looking for a classic dress watch, sporty chronograph, or causal yet cool everyday piece, chances are Omega has it — but the brand is particularly strong at the diving watch.

Like any other luxury good, caring properly for your fine timepiece is a big part of extending its life. While high-end watches are built to last, this is entirely dependent on how the owner treats it. Aside from the obvious no-nos, such as dropping it or knocking it too hard against a doorframe, there are a few other things you should avoid if you want to keep your watch in top working order.

While I’m far from blasé after 15 years of writing about watches—they will always be my thing—it takes a truly special design to blow my mind. The one I can’t stop thinking about these days is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque.

Gifting goals for 2022?
As the gift-giving season draws to a close, we thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the most famous occasions of celebrities giving luxury watches as gifts. And besides, who says you can't give the gift of a high-end timepiece at any time of the year?

No doubt it’s the Tudor Black Bay that garners the most attention these days; however, the Tudor Heritage collection was also central to the brand’s renaissance. As the name implies, the Heritage lineup includes modern reinterpretations of vintage Tudor watches, and here we take a look at three of them.

Not too long ago, walking by a Rolex boutique meant being faced with a window full of glistening luxury watches, enticing you to come in and try one on. Look inside those same glass boxes today, though, and you’ll see a sad state of mostly empty displays. If you’re lucky, you may find a few lonely watches desperately trying to fill out the beige space.

On the caseback of certain Omega watches like the Omega Speedmaster and Seamaster is a distinct engraving known as the Omega Seahorse or the Omega Hippocampus. Have you ever wondered where this particular emblem came from?

Some of the most famous vintage military watches are a group of timepieces affectionately known as the “The Dirty Dozen” — nicknamed after the 1967 World War II film, but with an origin story that pre-dates the movie by over two decades. Let’s explore the history, design, and collectability of these WWII-era military watches.

If you follow watch-focused Instagram accounts, you may start to believe the goal is to amass as many watches as possible. After all, collectors like to collect, and if you get bitten by the watch bug, the urge for “just one more watch” can be strong. But we’re here to tell you that not only does a small yet thoughtfully curated collection cover every occasion, it's easier to manage.

With steel sports watches as trendy as ever, it’s easy to think that slim gold dress watches have fallen out of fashion. But that’s simply not true. Gold dress watches have transcended fleeting fashions to become absolute classics. We’d even argue that a dress watch is an essential component of any well-curated timepiece collection.
