Introducing the DeWitt Academia Mathematical Concept Watch No. 4 (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watch
You know us, here at Monochrome-Watches. We just can’t help ourselves when it comes to the appeal for non-classical horology. It’s especially true when it comes to unusual displays, meaning watches that tells times not with 2 or 3 classical hands but with… well, anything that are?not hands. Liquids, discs, satellites… we love all ‘other displays‘. For this reason, we had a strong interest in a brand we don’t usually cover and for a special watch, the?DeWitt Academia Mathematical a.k.a Concept Watch No. 4.The main attraction of the?DeWitt Academia Mathematical?is its apparent chaos of numbers and discs. Don’t expect its dial?to be as rigorous and balanced as a Lange Zeitwerk. Instead, it comes with 4 independent discs that are displaying the time information’s in a very strange but, in the end, legible way. As time is usually identify by 4 numbers (xx:xx), this watch is composed of 4?totally autonomous jumping numerals that are enlig
First Look: The New-Gen AP Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar with Calibre 7138
Last year, Audemars Piguet announced the end of the calibre 5134, the automatic movement that has powered most of its modern perpetual calendar watches for the past 10 years – mostly, the classic RO Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar, which performed its swan song with a limited edition made with John Mayer. But the 5134 was not exclusive to the RO and was also found in the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar… Well, up until now. Indeed, together with the introduction of the new calibre 7138 in the Royal Oak collection, the brand’s classic collection also benefits from this modern, practical and enhanced movement with the new reference 26494BC.There’s a lot to say about the new calibre 7138, and we have explained everything there’s to know in this in-depth article covering the launch of the new generation Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding here. But let’s summarize things as well as we can and concentrate exclusively on the
Introducing: Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono With Maritime Blue Dial
Presented in 2019 in time-and-date and time-only models, the Alpine Eagle collection was Chopard‘s take on the highly successful luxury sports watch with integrated bracelet category. Revamping a 1980 design, that of the St. Moritz watch, it has then been offered in a variety of editions, from compact ladies’ models to a highly desirable ultra-thin salmon watch or a bold and oversized chronograph sub-collection. The latter welcomes a new member, a watch exclusive to the brand’s boutique, with an unprecedented and surprising colour. Here’s the Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono With Maritime Blue Dial.Chopard's take on the luxury sports watch occurred long before the appearance of the Alpine Eagle. Designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele in 1980, Chopard's first luxury sports watch was the St. Moritz.? A successful model that captured the over-the-top bling of the 1980s, complete with a very elaborate-shaped bezel with eight screws, the St. Moritz was eventually discont
IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic Edition Laureus - Limited Edition for Charity - Monochrome Watches
Every year IWC selects one watch from their collection, usually a new model, that will be introduced with a beautiful deep blue dial and with a closed and engraved case back. There’s a good reason for this, that goes further than just a striking blue dial. These blue dial models are ?limited editions that IWC introduces (every year) for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. This year it is the Portuguese Chronograph Classic Edition “Laureus Sport for Good Foundation” and it’s limited to 1,000 pieces.?This is the?eighth time that IWC is supporting the good work carried out across the globe by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation with a limited-edition timepiece in characteristic Laureus blue. Last year it was the Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph and in 2011 it was the very beautiful Ingenieur Automatic.At Monochrome-Watches we love the combination of high-end watchmaking and charity! We’re supporting the Polio Watch initiative and we’ve got some gr
FOUND: Dutch Coach Louis Van Gaal's Watch - a Rare Christiaan van der Klaauw Pendulum and We Found One - Monochrome Watches
In case you were wondering what kind of watch Dutch football coach Louis van Gaal was wearing during the FIFA World Cup in Brasil, it’s a Dutch watch, made by none other than Dutch watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw. And if that isn’t cool and exclusive enough, Louis Van Gaal’s watch is a limited edition of 25 pieces and we found one for sale.?Maybe you do the same. When someone in a movie or on TV is wearing his watch quite visible, we want to know what it is. Trying to find out which watch Van Gaal was wearing, was a tough one. Luckily he was wearing just one watch during the entire championship, so we got quite a few good glimpses of his wrist. It was clearly a square watch, and our first guess was that it could be a TAG Heuer Monaco. But some details were simply not aligning with that. It was a tough one… Ad - Scroll to continue with article
