Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked Two-Tone - Monochrome Watches
Following the watches we’ve already presented for the charity auction Only Watch 2019, it is now time to look at Audemars Piguet’s contribution. In 2017, the Le Brassus-based brand presented a unique blue dial version of its full ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar for the fund-raising event. This year, the brand takes its latest and controversial creation and donates a unique two-tone model, the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked Unique Piece for Only Watch 2019.No introductions are needed: the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet was probably the most discussed and controversial collection of the SIHH 2019 following its launch. This collection, entirely new for Audemars, proposed a different approach to the brand’s concept, something to add to the bold, signature Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore ranges. Reactions were strong, but as we explained and showed, it is a watch that deserves to be seen in the metal to be understood. Ad - Scroll to con

In two weeks from now will start the long-awaited Tokyo 2020 Olympic games. Despite a 1-year delay due to the complex situation in the entire world, it is now sure, the Games will happen (but behind closed doors…) For the 29th time since 1932, Omega will serve as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games. Following several Speedmaster and Seamaster models for the occasion, the Biel-based brand is releasing today a new pair of watches, in the same vein as this model, but now paying?tribute to that iconic sporting honour that is the gold medal. Here are the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Tokyo 2020 38mm and 41mm Gold Watches.In 2019, about a year of the start of the Games (at least, when it was still supposed to happen in 2020), Omega released a special edition watch based on its 41mm Aqua Terra watch. Mostly recognizable thanks to its blue textured dial, it now serves as a base for a pair of yellow gold watches. Offered either in 38mm and 41mm diameters, the classic size of the
Just Because - Some of the Most Used Nicknames in Watchmaking
Like them or not, appropriate or not, nicknames have to be earned. Watches are very personal objects and they reflect an enduring connection with fans. Often, these nicknames are directly inspired by the characteristics of the watch, its shape or colours. In other cases, celebrities or a special event made a watch famous and their name has remained linked to the model forever. One thing is certain, iconic watches from cult brands earn nicknames among collectors and aficionados. Not surprisingly, these are widespread across the more popular brands ( , Seiko, Omega) while the watches from niche or high-end brands get less of these familiar monikers. Even cult Patek watches are referred to by connoisseurs with their 4-digit reference numbers, rather than their names. Here are some of the brands with the most nicknames?Note: If you can think of any other nicknames, please share them in our comment section below. We’d be delighted to expand the list. As you would expect, no other bran
Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Classique Phases de Lune in Pink Gold - Monochrome Watches
For initiates the Atmos clock has no secrets, however for the rest of you the Atmos might seem like a perpetual motion machine. It seems to live on air and actually that’s exactly what is the case (no worries, we’ll explain it.) This year at the SIHH Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a new pink gold version of the Atmos Classique Phases de Lune and it looks stunning. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos, the clock that lives on air, was invented in 1928. The most remarkable feature about the Atmos is that it does not?need a battery or to be wound;?it?literally lives on air. Its?secret lies in the hermetically sealed capsule that?transforms even the smallest variations in ambient temperature into mechanical energy. Each time the temperature rises or falls by a single degree centigrade, the mechanism stores enough energy?for 48 hours. The huge balance oscilates extremely slow (one oscillation every minute) and is suspended from an incredibly fine Elinvar wire. Ad - Scroll to conti
