Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold 41mm & Redesigned Royal Oak Cufflinks - Monochrome Watches
Back in November 2016, as part of the pre-SIHH 2017 reveal, Audemars Piguet introduced a surprising and amazing version of its emblematic Royal Oak, the Frosted Gold version. This watch featured a?superb surface finishing known as gold hammering or frosting. And even with its 37mm case, we told you why, as men, we also liked it. However that was without knowing that the brand had something even more masculine in mind, as that same surface treatment has now been applied in a men’s version, with the?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold 41mm… And that comes along with redesigned?Royal Oak Cufflinks (and we all know how cool they are).The?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold 41mm?15410BCWhile I always tend to say that the 37mm edition of the Royal Oak shouldn’t be seen as a ladies-only model, as clearly it looks perfect for a man with smaller wrists, what Audemars Piguet has today makes no doubt on why?frosted gold isn’t just a feminine option.

VIDEO - All You Need To Know About The OMEGA Co-Axial Escapement
Back in the mid-1990s, the watch industry was very different from what it is today and mechanical watchmaking was still in its renaissance. Very few watch brands actually manufactured movements in-house, and even fewer brands had the ability or industrial capacity to reimagine the escapement and the oscillator, together called the regulating organ and these are the most crucial part of a watch.

Each company has a specific set of values, beliefs and ideas that run at its core. They define its stance and also have an impact on its operations or its products. An ethos is so important because it permits the customer to identify with its products. Brand loyalty is derived from that sole idea. Omega is a company that has a very strong ethos and identity. Many believe, however, that the company is synonymous with classic sports watches like the mighty Speedmaster and the iconic Seamaster. And while the company did shape the evolution of sports watches/chronographs in ways that few others have done, I nevertheless beg to differ. Omega is a company that has a rich heritage of producing many diverse watches. Their new offering, introduced at Baselworld 2015, is a watch that comes to redefine a classic line of very unique and important timepieces. The new Omega Globemaster is a direct descendant of the vintage Omega Constellation?of the 1950s and 1960s, enriched with many unique feature
