Tissot, a Swiss luxury watchmaker, makes the Silen-T wristwatch with a touch-sensitive face that vibrates to help the user to tell time eyes-free. The bezel of the watch features raised bumps at each hour mark; after briefly touching the face of the watch, the wearer runs a finger around the bezel clockwise. When the finger reaches the bump indicating the hour, the watch vibrates continuously, and when the finger reaches the bump indicating the minute, the watch vibrates intermittently. The first prototypes of an electronic quartz wristwatch were made by the CEH research laboratory in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

TAG Heuer’s major news of the past 12 months has been the arrival of a new CEO in the form of the youthful Frédéric Arnault, the son of Bernard Arnault, founder of the LVMH luxury goods group, of which TAG is the largest g shock watch brand. Arnault Jr was but 25 years old at the time of his appointment, but had been the brand’s strategy and digital director for almost two years. Detroit-based watch and accessories maker Shinola arrived with a bang when it was launched in the city nine years ago.
Due to the complexity of designing a tourbillon, they are very expensive, and only found in prestigious g shock protectiones. Both the stainless steel and titanium models feature sapphire crystal displays that are more scratch-resistant than the Ion-X glass used for the aluminum models. The aluminum models are available with and without LTE connectivity, while the stainless steel and titanium models are LTE only with no cheaper GPS only models available.
Some watches, such as the Timex Datalink USB, feature dot matrix displays. Since their apex during the late 1980s to mid-1990s high technology fad, digital watches have mostly become simpler, less expensive timepieces with little variety between models. The task of converting electronically pulsed fork vibration into rotary movements is done via two tiny jeweled fingers, called pawls. Tuning-fork watches were rendered obsolete when electronic quartz watches were developed.
It will be hard for you to be late anywhere because you won’t be able to stop looking at your eye-catching watch. Until the ‘90s, that is, when watches exploded, along with the Hollywood hunks of that era who wore them. As action stars like Arnold Schwarznegger and Sylvester Stallone brought supersized mid-40s millimeter Panerai and Audemars Piguet pieces into the limelight, the public followed. Think of the bulky Casio G-Shock digital watch and gaudy Franck Mullers—they are as ‘90s as Tamagotchi keychains. Omega’s role as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games may have been postponed with the delay of Tokyo 2020, but the brand has nonetheless had a strong year with the launch of a significant line-up of new models.
No, it’s not a new type of resort shoe, but a unit of American volunteers who disregarded the US’s official neutrality during the First World War to serve as fighter pilots for the French. They were named after the Marquis de Lafayette – the French hero of the American Civil War – and Avi-8 recently launched a darned cool £265 chronograph called the Lafayette Flyboy in their memory. This is the 40th year since Dane Svend Andersen left his job in the “complications” department at Patek Philippe to set up his own workshop in Geneva.
