If you have not heard of Havid Nagan, it is about time you did. F.P.Journe alumnus Aren Bazerkanian founded the brand in 2022, and he is doing things properly. Despite barely three years of the brand’s existence, Bazerkanian dropped his third watch recently: the Havid Nagan Classic One. Havid Nagan does not follow your average…

Truth be told, I have a soft spot for the Rolex Day-Date 36. Perhaps it’s understandable, then, that I was a bit jealous when the Day-Date 40 received cool-looking, deconstructed Roman numerals back in 2015 — but the 36, the OG, did not.

With collaborations, success is never a guarantee, but the new Oak & Oscar Atwood Wind Vintage Edition is an absolute winner. The only complaint is that so few will be made. Here at Fratello,…

This is a big year for Audemars Piguet. Not many watch brands get to celebrate the big one-five-oh, and still, not many that do can claim a continuously family-owned history.
