The great era of motorsport lives on, at least for watch lovers, in a special new release: the new ‘Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph’ from Frédérique Constant is a tribute to the golden era of classic sports cars, just think of the Jaguar E-Type with Sterling Moss at the wheel.

Anyone who loves high-quality automatic watches knows that the raison d'être of a watch depends on its continuous accuracy. This is where the ‘Rotalis 3.2’ from the renowned Erwin Sattler company comes in. A watch winder that is not only technically brilliant, but also sets such aesthetic standards that one would like to present it. Coming from the traditional manufactory in Gräfelfing near Munich, this masterpiece combines the company's timeless craftsmanship with modern engineering.

For some connoisseurs, the Calatrava wristwatch is the most powerful expression of pure watchmaking craftsmanship. The Calatrava also plays a decisive role in the history of the last family-owned watch brand in Geneva. When the Stern family took over the business in 1932, wristwatches were far from enjoying the reputation they enjoy today. But the Sterns recognized the great future that pocket watches would have on the wrist.

Do you ever get the feeling watchmaking seems to be a load of same-old, same-old? Frederique Constant definitely knows how to freshen things up in style. The Geneva manufactory’s Manchette, absent from the collection for over twenty years, is now back with a sexy, glamrock take on what must surely count as a definitive cuff watch: a graceful bracelet embossed with a square Clou de Paris pattern that’s echoed on the dial (also square), available in four different versions to suit your every whim: one jewel-set piece, two mineral alternatives in malachite and onyx, and a fourth version in matte silver.
