Roger Dubuis Pulsion Watches Hands-On
“Where am I?” I wondered as I checked out Roger Dubuis’ SIHH 2012 booth. It feels like I am looking at a scene from the Borg mothership. Over the last few years the Swiss brand has changed its identity a few times, reinvented its watches, distanced itself from the man Roger Dubuis, re-hired the man Roger Dubuis, and overall had one of the most interesting and tumultuous modern histories of most any high-end watch brand out there.For 2012, the new push is on “Roger Dubuis Worlds.” Each distinct collection gets its own universe to live in. There is the casino world of the Monegasque, the knights and dragons world of the Excalibur, and the… sophisticated cat burglar world of the Pulsion. That’s right, unless I was confused by blue lasers and secret library doors, the new Pulsion collection of watches is for today’s enterprising young non-violent action-oriented criminal. Of course that would be silly to suggest, but that is kind of the theme
Watch Review: Esoteric (Eso) Bathyal Oscuro
Esoteric watches was insistent: “You should check out our watch. I think we really nailed this.” I’m sympathetic to confidence like this. When a smaller watchmaker feels that its latest product is a real crowd-pleaser, I tend to be interested in giving it the test. Did Esoteric (Eso) Watches nail it with its Bathyal Collection?The Esoteric brand might be new, but it is a sister company to Ocean Crawler watches and is based in the United States. It is actually somewhat amusing that a diver’s watch company would set up a sister company… to also sell diver’s style watches. What makes these products distinct is the design, and I agree that the Bathyal family is different enough not to neatly fit anywhere within the Ocean Crawler brand.
