Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Flying Tourbillon Onyx/Ceramic 26396NB
Audemars Piguet will be dressing up its complications in ceramic for the end of this year, including the striking full-blue RO Perpetual, or various editions of Code 11.59. One of the recipients is Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Self-Winding Flying Tourbillon. The white gold and black ceramic case frame an absolutely captivating, inky black onyx dial graced with the ballet of a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock. I have always thought that the Code 11.59 collection was better suited for simple, minimalist designs and the purity of this black tie take on the model works exceptionally well. So well that this could be the best edition of this watch so farThe 41mm case of this automatic flying tourbillon model retains the traditional design of Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet, but plays on the sharp contrasts of an 18k white gold and ceramic construction. The specific architecture of the model is particularly adapted to combinations of different materials. In this instance, the two-tone case desig

Introducing The Green IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar IW503608
While all the attention was focused (rightfully so) on the return of the Genta-inspired Ingenieur watch during the Geneva watch fair, IWC actually had more watches to present… at least discreetly. We’ve covered already the new Top Gun Chronograph 41 in black and blue, but more pilot watches have been unveiled. And one of them goes big and green, just like we like it. Here’s the IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Green, and there’s a surprise on the back of the strap…Know as the reference IW503608, this new model doesn’t reinvent the wheel, if you allow me the expression. It is, in fact, a new colour to an already existing model, the updated BP Perpetual that was introduced in 2021, with a blue dial, a steel case and a blue leather strap. And now, well there’s a green edition – following what IWC has done already with both the BP43 watch here and its more elegant collection, with two green Portugieser models. Ad - Scroll to contin

Introducing Farer Automatic Chronograph Series Cobb, Eldridge and Segrave (Specs & Price)
You'd be hard pressed to find a more mature and unique watch company in the world of microbrands than London-based Farer Universal. Their production is predictably limited in number for a small brand, offering a maximum of 300 individual watches within most series (many are limited to 100) and they often sell out in a matter of months. They're known for using a lot of colours and whimsical designs, yet maintain a sophistication and maturity that keep them from resembling expensive Swatch watches. With the exception of their initial quartz line, Farer always releases new watches in a series of three, all having very different dial designs that share a common case. Following up on the 37mm Hand-Wound series released a few months ago, the company just launched three automatic chronographs that continue their distinctive design language - The Cobb, Eldridge and Segrave.We covered their Three Hand Automatics a couple of years ago and recently reviewed their Aqua Compressor Endeavour, and th

Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Olympics Limited Editions (Specs & Price)

But instead of the release of special Seamaster watches dedicated to the Olympics, Omega has decided that for Tokyo 2020, the Speedmaster would be the perfect can
