You don’t need to go over your budget to purchase a beautiful timepiece. Anglo-Swedish watch label Larsson & Jennings has proven that with their selection of eye catching watches at reasonable price points.

Larsson & Jennings was established in 2012 and has since created a solid line of unisex styles which are both modern and classic. The Chain Metal collection and a recent addition – the SAXON collection – are two of our favorites from the brand.

Let’s start with the CM collection. There are three color options, the first is a gold on gold combination. The CM Gold features a big, but not too big 40mm polished gold plated 316L case and bezel. The face of the watch is white with gold hands and indexes – a statement piece in the core collection that compliments and range of styles and aesthetics.

The second style is an all silver watch. A bit more traditional with polished stainless steel case, detailed with steel hands and indexes sitting on a white dial.

The third style may be our favorite – a sleek and stylish all black version. The CM Black combines a matte black bezel and case which houses a black dial detailed with gun grey hands and indexes.

The recently introduced SAXON collection is a bit more traditional. The SAXON series has a 39mm case and also features date and sub dial functions to the Larsson & Jennings core collection.

Each style is Swiss Made, but it’s the bespoke handles that are the icing on the cake. The straps are handmade from Swedish or British leather. The watch’s face is covered in anti-reflective coated crystal sapphire glass – resistant to scratches. A brushed 316L case, bezel and lugs have an angular finish to create a modern aesthetic, and the classic accents are captured in the dial which features sculpted hands, a sloped chapter ring and minimal indexing.

Luminox Heritage Collection watch on soldier

Any watch brand that attaches itself to the likes of survival expert Bear Grylls or military watchmaking will naturally be known by every masculine word there is: rugged, durable, essentially, a beast. Luminox is known for all of these things, especially as its watches are made with CARBONOX, a lightweight carbon composite; they've become a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts who need something exactly like this.

When Luminox first started in 1989, its Luminox Light Technology could glow for 25 years (years!) without fading, meaning the dial was visible all night long — an exceptionally important feature for a Navy SEAL. This LLT is self-motivated, like the best entrepreneurs, meaning it doesn't need an external light source for charging.

Citizen Layers of Time collection

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Citizen watches, and what better way to commemorate the momentous occasion than with a limited edition capsule collection? It's basically the cake and candles of the watch industry. The Japanese brand has unveiled five models that draw inspiration from the rocks and minerals that formed the Earth several million years ago in a geological evolution.
Citizen watches: The Layers of Time collection

Each of the 5 Citizen watches features an Eco-Drive solar mechanism, with transparent dials and a very noticeable special ink developed along with the Fujifilm Corporation that gives them a surprisingly extraterrestrial vibe despite the fact that they represent our own planet. The Layers of Time collection takes inspiration in its design from geological formations and the natural beauty of the Earth's layers, giving rise to the organic patterns and textures you would find in rocks, minerals, and fossils.

The Citizen Attesa Layers of Time Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS CC4057-60E features a case and bracelet made from incredibly durable Super Titanium alloy, made even better with a black Duratect finish. It's one of the more beastly watches in the new collection as its case measures 44.6mm in diameter and 15.4mm in thickness, and it's water resistant up to 100 meters. This watch has a bezel adorned with a gradient finish, echoing the colors in the dial, and it's powered by the Caliber F950 Eco-Drive movement, famous for its self-sustaining capabilities in any light.

On May 4, the Giro d'Italia kicked off, with cyclists embarking on a challenging (a simple word for the mind-boggling, grueling race) journey that spans 3,400 kilometers across 21 stages. It started in Venaria Reale and will conclude on May 26 in the land of pasta and pizza, Rome. The Giro d'Italia has an incredibly long history dating all the way back to 1909, but this year promises an entirely modern update with the addition of the Tudor Pro Cycling Team. Naturally, the Tudor watches has introduced a new timepiece to commemorate what is their first Grand Tour.

The Pelagos FXD Chrono Tudor Pro Cycling Team Edition, a watch so sturdy it can certainly handle the long name, might look familiar to fans of the brand, as it looks just like the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chronograph Alinghi Red Bull edition from last year. However, as is true of the brand, this Tudor watch embraces some technical specifications that make it perfect for the sport it represents.
