The emblem of chivalry

The Calatrava Cross

The Calatrava cross has been the official emblem of the brand since 1887 and was engraved on the cases of many Patek Philippe pocket watches years earlier. As a devout Catholic Antoine Patek knew the meaning of the symbol: The cross is the emblem of the Knights of Calatrava. The Order of Knights was founded in 1158 from a Catholic monastic order after its members had saved the Spanish castle of Calatrava from the Arab invasion.

Articles prepared for you

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
