Love them or hate them, one thing that most collectors know is that tourbillons are very expensive. That’s all changed with Patria’s Brigadier Tourbillon Subscription Edition costing ‘just’ CHF 18,000 for a beautifully hand finished Swiss Made tourbillon.
Ian Skellern has been a Greubel Forsey fan boy since the brand launched back in 2004, but his appreciation for the brand’s beautifully executed complications was always purely platonic.

G-Shock is a sub-brand of Casio that is designed to withstand mechanical stress, vibrations, and shocks. It’s a great affordable watch, but is it still worth buying? Raman Kalra certainly thinks so and explains why.
