How comfortable is the ProTrail to wear? What makes its case special?
How high-quality are the dial, strap, and craftsmanship?
And what kind of watch do you get for around $1,000?
A watch is more than the sum
of its technical specifications.
Why the ProTrail has won over Teddy Baldassarre

The new Sellita SW200-2 Power+
The new Sellita SW200-2 Power+
The SW200 has been one of Switzerland’s established automatic movements for many years. Its design has been technically refined for the new Power+ generation.
A new mainspring barrel, an optimized gear train, and adjustments to the winding and regulating systems increase energy efficiency. The result: a 65-hour power reserve—without sacrificing the classic frequency of 4 Hz.
Charged on Friday evening; often still ready for use on Monday morning.

Watch industry in Germany: Pforzheim, Glashütte and the Black Forest
Germany is one of the top five watch exporters in the world. Compared to export giants such as Switzerland (the largest exporter in terms of value) or China (the largest exporter in terms of volume), however, the German watch industry is quite small, but nevertheless offers great diversity and a moving history. The German watch industry can look back on a history of several hundred years and the main production of watches in Germany still takes place in the historical centers today. In this article, we take a short journey through time to the beginnings of the watch industry in the golden city of Pforzheim, the Black Forest and Glashütte.

Finding the Right Watch Size
Diameter alone doesn't tell you much about whether a watch fits well. What really matters are proportions, the lug-to-lug measurement, height, weight, and the strap.
How does an automatic movement work?
An automatic movement winds itself while being worn. This is made possible by a rotor that converts motion into stored energy.

A sandwich dial adds depth, contrast, and exceptional legibility to a watch face. But how is this unique design actually constructed?
What is Incabloc?
Incabloc is a shock protection mechanism for mechanical movements. It protects one of the most sensitive parts of the watch: the balance wheel bearing.
