Atelier Nossedh (pastime in the Northern Sami language) is a new micro-brand created by a Swedish designer, Alexander Gimell, who wanted to build the watch he couldn't find: small, classically proportioned, inspired by some magnificent vintage chronographs and made with the kind of restraint that deserves time on the wrist. The debut piece, the Atelier […]

If we had to name the single model that defined the concept of a dress watch, it would undoubtedly be the Patek Philippe Calatrava 96. This watch was quite revolutionary when it was introduced in the early 1930s and has been the blueprint for all dress watches ever since. Watch lovers have long recognized their […]

Stainless steel, whether 316L or 904L, is now the most common metal for modern watch cases and bracelets. There’s a good reason for this: it’s robust, highly corrosion-resistant, easy to machine and polish, and very affordable. By and large, it’s the perfect watch case material. Gold and platinum are the go-to precious metals for cases […]

For our latest discovery in independent watchmaking, we speak to Alex Goetschi, a young self-taught watchmaker from Switzerland with a very interesting story.
