Ulysse Nardin Introduces A New Dive Watch Made From Recycled Ocean Plastic
If you’ve watched David Attenborough’s excellent A Life On Our Planet, you’ve already seen the grim timetable - our planet is at a tipping point, and anyone who’s not yet committed to be part of the solution (however great or small) is part of the problem. Ulysse Nardin falls in the former camp with its latest release: a concept watch based on the Diver X with a case entirely made from plastics upcycled from abandoned fishing nets.

Sinn 910 Anniversary Limited Edition Split Second Chronograph Hands-On
While we may all feel like we know Sinn and have a handle on their general flavor, Baselworld 2016 showed that Sinn is still capable of surprising and that their game isn’t exclusively tool divers and hardcore pilot watches.

Designed for Sinn’s 55th Anniversary, this limited edition chronograph is equal parts form and function with a 41.5mm steel case housing a column wheel split second automatic chronograph movement. Thickness is 15.5mm, with anti-reflective sapphire crystals front and back protecting a nicely finished movement and a beautiful warm tan dial with black applied markers and red accents.
