IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Tribute to Nico Rosberg to honour the 2016 F1 World Champion - Monochrome Watches
Last weekend, just before the start of the final race of this year’s F1 season, IWC introduced a special edition Ingenieur Chronograph, to honour last year’s World Champion Nico Rosberg. While the available 23 pieces were probably sold out instantly, we love to share this with you for two reasons. First, this is the best looking new Ingenieur Chronograph version, and secondly, we included the video of Nico Rosberg picking up his own watch and answering questions about this limited edition.This is not the first IWC limited edition for Nico Rosberg, as the Schaffhausen-based brand launched two limited edition for the drivers of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team of which they are one of the main sponsors. That was back in 2014, and there were two limited edition of 250 pieces each for both Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. It was the older Ingenieur Chronograph version which was discontinued when the current version was introduced early 2016. The new limited edition to honour N
Introducing The Simple, Ingenious Artya Depth Gauge (Specs, Price)
Depth gauge watches are quite a rarity on the market and represent a niche industry segment, offering technical solutions to provide a diver with their current diving depth. Some rely on mechanical systems with an aneroid capsule, some use a Bourdon tube, and some use a cut-out that lets water enter a channel; and some are simply over-engineered. The latest watch with this feature is very different in many respects. First, it’s made by a brand that isn’t usually linked to the world of dive watches. Second, and most importantly, the solution used to display the current depth is one of the simplest possible. Using the science of colour, or chromatics, and the way colours disappear underwater, Artya has created a fascinatingly simple Depth Gauge.Let’s talk about the basics first. The Artya Depth Gauge is a classic dive watch, visually speaking and in terms of specifications. The case, with its pointy lugs and angular crown guards, is 43mm in diameter and is made of brush
Meet The Makers - Casa Fagliano, Boot-Maker And Strap-Maker for Jaeger-LeCoultre
There are many reasons we love watches. For some it's their design, for others it's their historical significance. What really caught my imagination, when I received my grandfather's 1960s Omega Constellation on my 21st birthday, was that somebody had actually sat at a workbench and assembled this micro-machine by hand. It blew my mind. Since then I've had an unrelenting appreciation for all things made by hand. My admiration only grew, as we dive deeper into a digital world where more often than not we can do things quicker and cheaper. But artisans do things for the passion, not the speed or price. They opt to do it the way it's always been done for the pride in the work. And I love that. In the first instalment of our new series: Meet The Makers, I had the privilege of sitting down with the man at the helm of legendary Argentina bootmaker, Germ¨¢n Fagliano. Enjoy.Can you tell us little about Fagliano and your history as a maker?Our Family comes from Cuneo, in the Piedmont?region (nor
Bangalore Watch Company Cover Drive - Value Proposition Review
Themed watches are always fun and Bangalore Watch Company has made them a speciality in 2020. Earlier this year, we showed you the MACH 1 series that paid homage to India's MiG 21 Type 77, the country's first supersonic jet fighter. Many design elements on the dial, crown and case back were directly related to the MiG 21, and an updated design recently debuted as well with the Officer's Blue. The brand's latest themed watch is the Cover Drive, which honours India's most popular sport, cricket. Although unique and a bit specialized, it remains practical, stylish and well priced.?Bangalore Watch Company was founded by a husband and wife team in 2018, and both Nirupesh Joshi and Mercy Amalraj have worked to set a new standard of watchmaking in India. They didn't come from an industry background and both left successful careers in tech and consulting, but a passion for watches and business acumen led to a brand that truly represents the country. We've covered many themed watches here at Mo
