A new classic has been born If there is one thing that watch manufacturers have learned over the last few years, it’s that vintage aesthetics sell (see the latest issue of I-M Magazine). New model lines and designs might be launched with a great deal of fanfare but introduce a watch with a well-loved bygone […]
Max Busser & Friends HM10 “Bulldog”
The right watch for these troubled times This has not been the easiest time for the watch industry. All watch fairs, even the makeshift ones, have been cancelled.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupè
BMW has launched its 2 Series Gran Coupè, aimed at a younger driver new to the brand, who wants a sporty four-door car. As the current trend is downsizing, BMW has responded by putting the 2GC into its range hoping to capture customers who would be looking at the Audi A3 or Mercedes CLA. I-M […]
