To mark the centenary of the Oyster case, Rolex has opened a major exhibition in Shanghai titled “Oyster Story,” dedicated to one of the most significant achievements in watchmaking history. Running from June 10 to June 28, 2026, the exhibition is hosted at the West Bund Dome Art Center, a former industrial site on the banks of the Huangpu River that has since become part of the city’s cultural and artistic district. Spanning nearly 100,000 square feet, the venue provides an

Seersucker is one of the most recognizable fabrics for warm-weather clothing thanks to its distinctive puckered texture, which promotes airflow and makes garments more comfortable to wear in hot temperatures. Although it is often associated with the American South, its history stretches back much further. Over the centuries, it evolved from a practical everyday fabric into a staple of classic menswear.

In the world of fine tailoring, excellence is not defined solely by impeccable cuts, elegant silhouettes, or a tailor’s ability to transform flat cloth into perfectly structured garments. Equally important is the trust a tailoring house earns over generations. That is why royal warrants represent far more than decorative emblems—they are enduring endorsements of craftsmanship. Monarchs have always had access to the finest makers, so their continued patronage speaks louder tha

Family heritage, craftsmanship, and tradition have been at the heart of Antica Occhialeria for three generations. The story began in 1956 when Lucio Enrico Di Nardo, a passionate collector of artistic objects, started his career as an optician while building a collection of vintage eyewear. Over the decades, the family's expertise was passed down from one generation to the next, gradually evolving into a company dedicated to creating handcrafted, fully personalized eyewear.

Tudor has introduced a new version of its sports chronograph, marking one of the most significant updates since the model was first launched. The Black Bay Chrono 39 “Bumblebee” retains all the core characteristics the line is known for, but now comes in a noticeably more compact case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 13.1 mm in thickness. Compared to the previous 41 mm version with a height of 14.4 mm, the new proportions are clearly more refined and may appeal to a broader au

Rolex is one of the most recognizable names in the watch industry today, but its story began long before the crown logo became a global symbol of prestige. The brand’s founder, Hans Wilsdorf, was born in 1881 and lost both of his parents at a young age. After becoming an orphan, he and his relatives were cared for by their uncles, who sold the family’s successful tool business and ensured that Hans received an education at elite schools. There, he distinguished himself throug

Located in the heart of Rijeka, just a short walk from the city’s landmarks and the bustling Korzo promenade, Opera Boutique Hotel introduces a distinctive hospitality concept that blends design, art, and musical inspiration. Designed as a space where every detail contributes to a memorable stay, the hotel offers guests the opportunity to experience the city on foot and immerse themselves in its unique atmosphere.

Watchmaking is one of those crafts where technical precision meets creativity, often resulting in objects that go far beyond their practical purpose. For centuries, watches have been more than instruments for measuring time – they have served as personal accessories, keepsakes, and reflections of their owners’ character. It is within this intersection of tradition and individual expression that three young creatives from Osijek – Fabio Brmež, Lovro Žada, and Ian Farkaš – have

The collaboration between Bell & Ross and S.T. Dupont has resulted in a limited-edition release that merges the world of fine watchmaking with luxury cigar accessories. Produced in only 150 pieces, the BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont is accompanied by a dedicated set including a Ligne 2 lighter and an exclusive cigar cutter. With this project, Bell & Ross moves toward a more refined and lifestyle-oriented expression, combining technical precision with the rituals of luxury and leisu

For years, San Canzian Hotel & Residences has been recognized as one of Croatia’s most distinctive boutique destinations. Nestled in the heart of Istria, near the town of Buje, the property has built a reputation for offering guests far more than accommodation alone. It is now expanding that vision through a new artistic initiative, the San Canzian Art Collection, a program that places art at the center of the guest experience.

In the heart of Split's historic center, JB Lounge by Club Mareva has opened, the city's first public cigar lounge designed exclusively for cigar lovers. The grand opening took place on April 25th, and the project was realized in partnership with Club Mareva and the iconic Marmont Heritage Hotel.

The French brand Serica has become one of the most interesting names in the independent watch scene in recent years thanks to a very specific approach to watch design. Instead of relying on nostalgia as a mere marketing tool, Serica builds its models around the idea of modern tool watches inspired by military, research and diving instruments of the middle of the last century. Their watches are visually reminiscent of the golden age of functional watchmaking, but at the same t

Originally from Udine in northeastern Italy, his style blends American workwear, classic tailoring, and well-worn pieces collected over years of travelling. He gravitates toward clothes that show age naturally like faded fabrics, worn textures, and details shaped by time and use.

Style Talk is slowly becoming our favorite series to work on, and for good reason. It gives us a chance to have more thoughtful, focused conversations with people whose style actually says something. Instead of chasing trends, these talks revolve around personal taste, habits, and the small details that shape how someone presents themselves day to day. We spoke with Alessandro Negri, a 32-year-old vintage collector with a focus on military, workwear, and Made in USA herita

In a relaxed and short conversation, he reflected on his path into the cigar industry and the moments that shaped his perspective along the way.

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the way in which art is presented, followed and collected is changing significantly. Today, galleries are no longer just places of exhibition, but increasingly become platforms that connect artists, collectors and the public through new technologies and digital formats.

Crossing borders has always been part of the thrill in discovering watches and for this edition of #Tick&Talk, we went to Italy. In the heart of a country that has long shaped taste, style, and horology itself, we talked with Fabrizio Bonvicino, the co-founder of Italian Watch Spotter. His platform has become a reference point for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, spotting trends, uncovering stories, and connecting people who live and breathe watches.
