There are a lot of horology blogs out there. And they’re all fantastic—original content, witty writing, and some of the most brilliant minds in watchmaking. So what makes Remontoir different? What sets us apart? And why start a new blog–just one more voice among dozens?

Remontoir is all about going deeper. The more I devoured all the watch content I could find, the more I realized what was missing: my favorite part of it all. The deep dives. We’re talking spelunking-level watchmaking reading, for the hardcore nerds and those who want to know more than just how the latest Rolex model looks.

Let’s face it: watchmaking has become pretty monotonous in a lot of ways. It’s easy to be swallowed up in the sea of endless releases, which all feel the same. New dial colors, diamond-set or not, and a thousand tiny details that change.

Watchmaking, at its core, is art. Like any good painting, you must sit with a watch. Appreciate it, admire it, watch how the light plays over its facets. Learn its history, and allow that to shape your perception of each piece.

What if exploring watchmaking was something more? Something that struck at the true heart of what it is to be a passionate watch collector. Something that plumbs the deepest depths of the finest points of horology that have been overlooked. Like finding a vein of gold in the furthest recesses of a deep winding cave.

This blog is not intended to be an endless stream of information. It’s the calm waters amidst the crazy flow of daily articles. A breath of fresh air to reignite your passion for watchmaking in its purest form. Long analyses, deep discussions, and profound examinations of the watches that you usually won’t see plastered over the front page of your favorite watch magazine–but which rightfully should be there.

If that sounds exciting to you, you’ve really got the watch bug. I can’t help you with that… but I sure can make it enjoyable.

If that sounds exciting, Remontoir is for you. This is the watch content renaissance.
