SIHH 2017 - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra Thin 15202 Yellow Gold (Price)
The?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is an icon born in 1972 from?the pencil of a certain Gerald Genta. It was notable for several reasons – it was the world’s first luxury sports watch, it was imposing, yet impressively thin and, despite being the most expensive watch of its type on the market, it was available only in stainless steel. Collectors had to wait until 1977 to see this ?mini-masterpiece dressed in?precious metal (an idea that for long has been rather antinomic with the whole Royal Oak concept).?For SIHH 2017 and, to mark the 40th anniversary of the first precious metal Royal Oaks,?Audemars Piguet introduces a new series of the splendid?Royal Oak Extra Thin Ref. 15202 in yellow gold.The?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra Thin – known under the reference 15202 – is no stranger to the world of watch aficionados. In?2012?a 40th anniversary model was released and it is the closest to the original 1972 version designed by Genta. This 15202 is the “Jumbo”
On the Road to Baselworld 2018 - What Youll See on MONOCHROME - Monochrome Watches
, Omega, Patek Phillipe, Tudor, TAG Heuer and many more… Tomorrow, the 2018 edition of world’s largest watch fair, Baselworld, will open its doors. Hundreds of new watches will be revealed to members of the press, retailers and collectors. Even though the general consensus around the fair itself seems quite negative, the industry is in relatively good shape and this won’t prevent the MONOCHROME team to “veni, vidi, referi”?– “go, see, report” live from the fair, with an incredibly?large coverage. Baselworld is coming, and we are on the road to Switzerland.We know that this edition of the Basel Watch Fair will be into the limelight, as the show itself has been widely criticized. Expensive, outdated, old-school, unadapted to the current market and to new consumer behaviours… Baselworld has never been in such a position – and these bad feelings come from all parties: brands, retailers and press members. While in 2015 there were
Introducing the Richard Mille RM 27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal (updated with price) - Monochrome-Watches
There are sports watches and watches made for sport, meaning watches that are designed to be worn when practicing extreme sports. Whether they are?strapped on the wrist of a F1 driver, on the wrist of a golf player?or on the wrist of a super-fast sprinter (and here too), watches created by Richard Mille can resist to all kind of difficult situations. These prestigious ambassadors?are RM’s hallmark and the most famous one certainly is Rafael Nadal. As the French Open (Roland Garros 2015) just started, it’s now time to introduce the latest result of this partnership, the?Richard Mille RM 27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal.A common and impressive feature shared by all the sport-oriented watches created by Richard Mille is the ability to be used in the field. We’re not talking about bringing some sporty visual clues to an existing watch here but instead to properly design watches that can be used while practicing sports to an extreme level, watches that can resist to the worst
Mido introduces the Ocean Star Tribute Gradient with striking red dial
Let’s say that you are looking for a robust dive watch with 200-metre water resistance from a brand with bona fide dive credentials but don’t fancy wearing a hockey puck on your wrist. Oh, and you wouldn’t mind a touch of retro flair, and why not, a trendy gradient dial, a day/date function, a practically indestructible movement, and a price that will still let you rent some scuba diving gear. Well, look no further because Mido’s latest Ocean Star Tribute Gradient answers all these prerequisites, an all-inclusive deal for all terrains.Founded in 1918, Mido was a precursor of the waterproof wristwatch. Thanks to its Aquadura crown sealing system of 1930, with a cork gasket on the crown to prevent water and dust from entering the movement, Mido was known as the “King of the Waterproof”. In 1934, the Multifort appeared, a robust, automatic, anti-magnetic watch with built-in water and shock resistance that would become a best seller through to the 1950s.
Introducing: The Italy-Only Tudor Black Bay 58 Inter Limited Edition
There was a time when Tudor, just like mother brand , only released new models during watch fairs and only watches available in the permanent collection. These days are long gone, and Tudor has decided to fly solo, changing from the usual yearly releases to a more constant flow of novelties, now including special or limited editions. And don’t think that everything the brand does is classic… Tudor is also getting bolder with colours. This weekend, we’ve witnessed yet another demonstration of this strategy, as Tudor released a limited-edition Black Bay 58, with an unprecedented colour scheme meant to celebrate a stunning achievement for legendary soccer team Inter Milan.?One of Tudor’s sports partners, Italian soccer Serie A team Inter Milan, pulled off something extraordinary this year. Not only did it become the Italian Champions, but it also won its 20th Scudetto. And for that, the team earned its second star – in the Italian soccer league Serie A, a te
