Ulysse Nardin Marine Mega Watch (Specs & Price)
For a company that built its name as a purveyor of precision marine chronometers, Ulysse Nardin has a long-standing and authentic link to the sea. Combine this with the brand's penchant for extravagant complications and showmanship and you get the Marine Mega Yacht, a watch that combines a flying tourbillon, a tide indicator, a moon phase indicator with miniature lifelike recreations of a ship's features - anchor, chain, propeller, windlass and bow – directly on the dial! With a price tag of just over EUR 300,000, the platinum watch is a limited edition of just 30 pieces. ProvenanceThe Marine Mega Yacht follows in the wake of the Marine Grand Deck Tourbillon, a watch launched by Ulysse Nardin in 2016 with jumping hours, a tourbillon and a unique way to read the retrograde minutes via a nautical boom pulled by nanowires, all set against wood marquetry decking on the dial. In a departure from the Grand Deck Tourbillon that recreated elements of classic sailboats and luxury liners,

Ulysse Nardin Classico Paul David Nardin - Hands-On Review (Specs & Price)
This year, Ulysse Nardin is on a tear… After the impressive collection launched at the SIHH 2017, which showed more modern and refined designs, yet still “very Ulysse” in the style, we now have a succession of several rather surprising watches, all with a vintage-inspired theme. After the Diver Le Locle, a dive watch inspired by a 1960s timepiece, here is the?Ulysse Nardin Classico Paul David Nardin, this time taking inspiration from?a 1945 watch. And once again, the look is just superb.As with the Diver Le Locle, we have once again been surprised by?the?Classico Paul David Nardin… for a simple reason: vintage-oriented pieces are not typically?something the brand does. Of course, we all know about the foundations of Ulysse Nardin and the immense contribution it made to?marine chronometers, a rich heritage that?can still be seen today?in current collections and that is deeply integrated?in the DNA of the brand. However, when it comes to using the traditional code

Hands-On - Patek Philippe Chronograph Annual Calendar 5960/01g (Specs & Price)
For a few years now, Patek Philippe has been applying a rather surprising strategy, by offering a new, younger approach. Sometimes vintage, sometimes modern, and sometimes quite difficult to understand, even sometimes controversial… This all started back in 2014 with the modern-looking stainless steel 5960/1A, followed later in 2015 with the launch of the Calatrava Travel Time Pilot 5524G, a vintage-inspired watch, dramatically different from the traditional conservative Patek collections. And if you mix these two watches, you’ll end up with the 2017?Patek Philippe Chronograph Annual Calendar 5960/01g.The Patek Philippe Ref. 5960This reference is certainly amongst the most important modern Pateks… If it has always been well received and had always somehow flown under the radar, it has to be reminded that, when it came on the market, the 5960 was a big first for the brand.?Before this ref. 5960, at Patek, the calendar linked to a chronograph was always a perpetual one

Hands-On 2022 TAG Heuer Monaco Special Edition Black DLC Titanium
When it comes to TAG Heuer, it hardly gets more emblematic than the square-shaped Monaco. Part of the various watches dedicated to motorsport, alongside the Carrera, the Silverstone and the Monza, the Monaco has gained immense popularity after being worn in the 1971 movie Le Mans on the wrist of Steve McQueen. And the name of the watch itself, paying tribute to the world's most glamorous F1 race, might have helped this model to become a legend. And since this weekend marks the return of GP in the streets of the Principality for the 2022 F1 season, it was the perfect time for the brand to release its latest special edition, the TAG Heuer Monaco Black Titanium.Born in 1969, the Monaco has immediately been equipped with one of the most innovative movements of its time, the Calibre 11, one of the three first automatic chronograph calibres. Then, there was its design… bold, different, daring and truly polarizing. If this helped make this watch unique and immediately recognizable, it m
