Hi guys!

In our last update, I wrote about the extent of our IWC watch database. It’s even better now. I’ve added another few hundred watches, making for a total of over 1.600 at the time of writing this – including some truly rare and forgotten gems.

I’ll keep working on it, but at a slightly lower pace. Check out the full IWC catalogue – it’s wild!

A new entry is SYE (for Start Your Engines), whose kind owner approached us to have his brand included in our watch database. Are you a brand owner looking to have your watches featured? Contact us!

What else is new? I’ve added a few new releases here and there, such as the Japan-exclusive Royal Oak Tourbillon in white gold posted above. I’m really hoping we’ll get to see some more new watches in the next couple of months!

Another week, another round of updates.

This week I’ve gone over our A. Lange & Söhne collection and updated the prices to reflect the most recent price increase. Top of the charts? That would be the Tourbograph perpetual Pour le Mérite 706.025. I’ve also added a couple that were missing still, such as the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds below.

Another brand that has received a round of updates is Audemars Piguet. I’ve added a lot of watches that were not yet in our database, most of them from either the Millenary or Jules Audemars collection. Whilst not very popular nowadays, there’s some great watches in these collections. The Jules Audemars Minute Repeater Jumping Hours being a prime example.

What else? A few limited edition TAG Heuer watches, including a limited edition for Qatar that’s pretty cool;

Stay tuned for more!

Whoops, I skipped a week! We had a public holiday, I did some cycling in Belgium, and one of our team members was off – which means it was pretty uneventful here on WatchBase.

This week I ramped it up. I’m nearing the completion of our update of the Glashuette Original collection, which was a pretty heavy project. Again, our intern Ruben worked on his Laco stuff and is almost finished with that too. Here and there we added a few other new watches too. Our favs?

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar White Ceramic

Okay, it’s a bit bling, but come on – this is hot right? All you need this summer is a nice tan, a blue linen shirt and a pair of swimming shorts and this AP. LINK!

IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month

I must admit that I’m not the biggest fan of this generation of IWC’s Ingenieur. The more pedestrian variations look too dull and generic. But spice it up with the brand’s digital perpetual calendar chronograph movement and it’s perfect. LINK!

Glashuette Original PanoMatic Lunar

As said I again added a bunch of new GO’s. This week’s favorite? I think it’s the PanoMatic Lunar in stainless steel – blue. With a pin buckle, just because. LINK!

Laco Squad Watch Mojave

Laco is best known for its pilot’s watches, but this dive watch doesn’t look to shabby either. LINK!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin

Another Royal Oak, another Perpetual Calendar? Yes, but this is the production version of the RD#2 of SIHH 2018. A mind-boggling exercise in fine mechanical engineering. LINK!

In the last couple of days, I’ve again added a huge number of watches and movements to our database. Also, a few smaller (though great ) changes have been made by Alwin and Dion- both functional as well as some design thingamalingies.

With the intend of keeping things interesting, both for myself as well as for you, I have been trying to find some kind of middle road between a high volume of easy uploads and unusual and indie watches. The former are mostly ETA-based brands, whose watches are quickly uploaded in bulk as they use standard (or moderately altered) movements already in our database – Hamilton, Longines and Bell & Ross come to mind.

Others, like Vacheron, Patek, Lange, and Audemars Piguet, require custom movement uploads. It is however interesting to note that the info on these is readily available and very well sorted, hugely decreasing the time needed to sort out the information needed to fill all our fields. Patek and Vacheron take the reigns here, sorting their watches if desired by movement used, with full specs and info on all. While I haven’t really taken on Vacheron yet, our Patek database is starting to be quite something – although most are from the current collection.

Speake-Marin has been fun and I think only the Triad pieces need to be added from his current line-up. It’s a pity I can’t seem to locate pics of all his movements, but I applaud his open communication regarding the use of Vaucher movements. I’ve also begun to work on Lang & Heyne.. since we’re trying to add all, why not add a few unusual ones right at the start, right? Also, check out the Daytona page for a first taste of vintage.

Alwin and Dion have been adding a new function to the Calibers pages, which shows what we’re after – clear and open information with as much cross references as possible. It is now possible to view which calibers use a certain movement as a base – get a taste of it at the ETA 2824-2 page. While obviously a lot more movements need to be added to make it truly interesting, it is already a fun feature. They’ve also cleaned up the Brands and Calibers pages – the lay-out is much more clear than it was before.

Ok, back to work
