Stowa

Stowa Uhren has resuscitated its aviation legacy with the Chrono ABT 24H Limited Edition release, a meticulously crafted chronograph that blends German precision with vintage-inspired aesthetics. In collaboration with ABT Sportsline and created for the lovers of horological heritage and modern mechanics, this timepiece commemorates Stowa’s historical pilot chronographs while incorporating a high-performance Swiss movement. With only 50 pieces available worldwide, the Chrono ABT 24H is a collector’s dream, standing as the perfect balance of tool-watch functionality and elegant design.

Precision engineering meets vintage flair

At the center of the Chrono ABT 24H beats the Sellita SW510 manual-wind movement, equipped with a flyback function for seamless timing operations. The 40mm bead-blasted stainless steel case is made for maximum durability, while the anti-reflective sapphire crystal elevates readability under nearly any lighting conditions. The dial features design elements from ABT and Lamborghini, with red accents that elevate its overall aesthetics. Thanks to the inclusion of SuperLumiNova C3, it remains true to classic aviation instruments, and offers exceptional legibility. A 24-hour military time display further reinforces its pilot-watch DNA, making it both functional and stylish.

A collector’s piece brimming with rich historical roots

The Chrono ABT 24H takes its main inspiration from 1940s German observation deck chronographs, mimicking the design language of classic B-Uhr watches and mid-century instrument panels. The end result is a watch that looks and feels both historically authentic, yet refreshingly modern. Whether paired with a leather band strap or a stainless steel bracelet, it transitions with ease from the cockpit to the workplace.

A worthy addition to any aviation watch collection

The Stowa Chrono ABT 24H offers exceptional value in the mid-range chronograph market. The limited production assures exclusivity, while the versatile design makes it suitable to wear for any occasion. For true watch aficionados seeking German horological heritage combined with Swiss mechanical mastery, this timepiece is an exemplary choice to add to any collection.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
