The new Kudoke 2 Nocturne (Specs & Price)
Last year a small German brand won the Petite Aiguille category at the GPHG, a category dedicated to watches priced between CHF 4,000 and CHF 10,000. Kudoke is now introducing a new variant of its award-winning Kudoke 2, the Nocturne. The Kudoke 2 is part of the HANDwerk collection in Kudoke's line-up, together with the Kudoke 1. It is a humble yet interesting watch with some very nice touches and of course, quite a bit of hand-finishing.Watchmaker Stefan Kudoke is primarily known for his extensively skeletonized and engraved watches. Yet, the discreet and elegant HANDwerk collection, so far comprised of two different models sharing a common design-language, is not to be overlooked. Both the Kudoke 1 and Kudoke 2 have a lot going on to earn their place in the spotlight.We reviewed the Kudoke HANDwerk 1 extensively last year, which is the more traditional-looking watch of the two. A lovely 39mm wide steel case paired with a traditionally styled dial and a decorated movement inspired by
Hands-on - Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti - Baselworld 2016 (Live pics & price) - Monochrome Watches
We’re not going to ask you if you are aware of Hublot as a brand and of one of their specialties: partnerships (like for example with football teams or?Italian car maker). We bet you’re aware of this. For the 2016 edition of Baselworld, this is not going to change. However, their latest collaboration made a huge impression on us, first because the brand they are teaming with is certainly amongst the finest shoemakers around the world and also because the concept has been pushed extremely far, making it quite striking. Here is the?Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti.With this partnership, Hublot continues its path in style – lifestyle and fashion oriented collaborations. Like they did with denim watches, with camo printings or even with lace, the latest idea was to insert leather. Well, in fact most watches do already have leather, at least those on a leather strap. So Hublot had to find something more. From the words of the CEO,?Ricardo Guadalupe, the brand “wanted to
Introudcing - Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Sedna Gold (Price)
When referring to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, one of the most enduring dive watches on the market and a pioneer of the genre launched in 1953, we should actually mention two different watches. The first is the large and robust version, with its distinctive sapphire bezel. The second is a sleeker model, with an instrumental look, the Bathyscaphe, which back in the late 1950s was a diver’s watch in a size suited to everyday wear. Today, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe gets a luxurious touch with a case made of Sedna gold and a blue dial/bezel combination.This isn’t the first time that the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe is offered in precious metal. And it isn’t the first time that the brand uses a specific gold alloy either, as the catalogue already comprises versions in 18k Sedna gold fitted with a black dial and bezel. What’s new is the combination of the classic blue dial/bezel with this original gold. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Hands-On - Oris Roberto Clemente Limited Edition (Specs & Price)
For some years now, Oris has committed to becoming a watchmaker that can “Change for the Better” (the brand’s new motto). In addition to create some rather cool and fairly-priced watches, the brand is also greatly involved in charity, with multiple non-profit organisations and foundations to help save the planet and the oceans (among other things). Think Carysfort Reef Limited Edition, the Ocean Trilogy?or the Aquis Lake Baikal. Recently, Oris announced a new partnership with the Roberto Clemente Foundation, a?humanitarian organisation named in honour of baseball player Roberto Clemente. And linked to this, there’s a watch, and a pretty nice one! Let’s have a closer look at the Oris Roberto Clemente Limited Edition.Roberto ClementeRoberto Clemente, born in Puerto Rico in 1934, he is known as one of the greatest baseball players in the history of the game. He?played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He won two World Serie
Hands-On - Panerai Radiomir Venti PAM02020 Paneristi 20th Anniversary
The collecting community has always been drawn to vintage sports watches. However, when it comes to Panerai, we’re talking about one of the most active and authoritative web communities existing. They even have a name – the Paneristi – and a website dedicated to their passion – paneristi.com. Active, passionate owners who can also be quite critical… Tough love, they say. This community is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and, as a tribute to them, Panerai thought it would be nice to treat them to something they’d like. So here’s the Panerai Radiomir Venti PAM02020, made especially to mark the 20 years of Paneristi.com.As you can imagine, this watch couldn’t only be an internal project. The community had to be invited into the creation process in order for the watch not only to make sense, but also to please the Paneristi. The PAM02020 “Venti” (Italian for twenty) is the result of a joint creation process between the
