This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is joined by Ariel and Ripley, along with Kevin Roberts (@kevin_roberts100) Azad Zangana (@aztime), and Will Charlesworth (@inquisitivepheasants). The show begins with banter about bequeathing watches, and Kevin decides, impromptu, who’s getting what when he kicks the bucket. When the guys get down to business, the first topic up is…

Since 2016, Hublot has had a collaborative partnership with the renowned Swiss tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Buchi and his company Sang Bleu. While the original Hublot Sang Bleu models were based on the brand’s signature Big Bang series, the Sang Bleu collection has expanded since its introduction.

Among its latest new releases presented this year at Geneva Watch Days 2024, Alpina has announced the Heritage Automatic, which is a simple three-handed timepiece with vintage-inspired styling that is available with the option of two different dials.

And that’s not the entire story. This new addition to the Christopher Ward collection perfectly blends specs with looks, which is why…
