Hands-On - Moritz Grossmann Atum Hamatic with Pendulum Winding System (Specs & Price)
The vast majority of mechanical watches available nowadays rely on a central oscillating weight to provide power to their movements. Of course, we see lots of variations on this theme - for instance the winching system of the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious, off-centred micro-rotors, peripheral rotors or even linear rotors. However, the principle is the same and originates?from early pendulum clocks.? To celebrate and bring the pendulum-style movement of clocks into the 21st?century, Moritz Grossmann presents the Atum Hamatic.BackgroundThe often overlooked manufacture of Moritz Grossmann, mentioned in our Germans do it better? article, produces some stellar watches with surprising complications and features that stand out from the crowd. And crowd is a relative term here, considering the fact the brand produces very low numbers of watches per year. The trademark Saxon style is present in almost every watch, with clean and legible dials and superbly finished movements. Moritz Grossma

HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC - Full Review with live photos, specs and price - Monochrome-Watches
In 2012, when introducing the first of the Hydro-Mechanical watches, the H1, the young and mad brand called HYT created quite a mess in the watchmaking world. Those guys get the strange idea to equipped their creations with the worst enemy of a watch: liquid. We tested this watch and we felt in love with it, just because of the rationality and serious of the concept. Back in 2013, only 1 year after their first attempt, HYT brought an even more exciting successor in the name of the HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC and we've been testing it again.The HYT H1 Red2 we handled for a few weeks gave us some clues on how serious this concept was. When this watch came to the world, we felt first a great excitement but also some scepticism. How come a brand just registered would be able to achieve such a complex idea. Of course, the HYT team is composed of watchmakers and talented engineers (with their sister company Preciflex). But even Ad - Scroll to continue with article

Watching Celeb Watches: TOP GEAR's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - Monochrome Watches
Tonight: Richard Hamster' Hammond wears an Omega! Captain Slow' James May wears an Omega! And, Jeremy Clarkson wears an Omega! We're going to have a look at the wrist-gear of the TOP GEAR presenters, and wonder, do they only drive in TOP GEAR or also wear TOP GEAR on the wrist? Do their watches make it to our cool wall?First of all, I have to admit to being an absolute fan of Top Gear, when I first spotted an Omega Seamaster Professional on Jeremy Clarkson’s wrist, years ago, I was delighted. This year they are airing their 21st series and by now all three gents wear proper (read: mechanical, high-end) watches. However we have to be strict and an Omega Seamaster Professional is for sure a great watch, it does not really qualify as the Lamborghini Aventador of wristwatches. They might know their way around a test track but how do their watches fair in our world? We go from small to big, first up the Hamster Richard Hammond.Richard Hammond wearing an Omega SpeedmasterRichard Hammon

MB&F x Emmanuel Tarpin Legacy Machine Flying T
Breaking a tradition of masterminding complex, visually arresting watches for men, MB&F undertook its maiden voyage into the galaxy of women’s watches in 2019. Faithful to the brand’s spectacular 3D design language, the Legacy Machine Flying T staged a flying tourbillon rising above the dial plate accompanied by an intriguing hours and minutes dial perched at an angle. Eminently feminine without being affected, the Flying T has had many wardrobe changes but none as glacial as this duet of Ice and Blizzard editions made in collaboration with jewellery designer Emmanuel Tarpin.Emmanuel TarpinBusser has always cultivated an assorted group of ‘friends’ (the ‘F’ in MB&F), collaborators or partners who contribute their expertise to different projects. The latest friend to join the gang is Emmanuel Tarpin, a French jewellery designer from Annecy who studied at the Haute ecole d’Art et de Design (HEAD) in Geneva and spent three years in the Par

The New Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Dual Time
First presented in 2017, the Marine Torpilleur collection has been entirely refreshed last year, with new and refined models that pay tribute to the rich history of the brand in the field of Marine Chronometers. The Marine Torpilleur picks up on vintage design cues but comes in a lighter, younger and more versatile package like the fast, manoeuvrable torpedo boats that inspired its name. Elegant, discreet and highly distinctive, there’s a lot to love in these watches, mechanically and visually. For the 2022 collection, Ulysse Nardin expands its Marine Torpilleur collection with three new models, all part of the permanent collection, including the brand new Dual Time watch.?The Ulysse Nardin Marine TorpilleurFounded in 1846 in Le Locle by Ulysse Nardin, the young clockmaker consolidated his reputation with precision marine chronometers.
