2014 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve Won by Breguet Classique Chronometrie 7727 - Monochrome Watches
And the Oscar…err, Golden Hand goes to the Breguet Classique Chronometrie. Last Friday evening it was Oscar-night. That is Oscar-night of the watch industry, which is called the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve. Winners in fifteen categories and one overall winner were announced during a gala event in Geneva. There were some remarkable winners; one of them was Gronefeld, who won the prize for Best Tourbillon Watch, and they are the very first winners from the Netherlands!But first, all praise for Breguet’s Classique Chronometrie 7727, an understated dress watch that actually is quite outstanding. Its looks are classic, as we would expect from Breguet, however a denotation on the dial – it reads “10Hz” – already gives away that there’s something special about this watch. Breguet has used magnetism – normally every watch’ enemy –?to improve the precision and the reliability. This means that Breguet’s watchmakers not
IWC Portugieser Green Dial IW358310 & IW344207 (Specs, Price)
There’s no avoiding green. While silver/white and black used to be the norm, later followed by an array of blue watches in the 2010s, green seems to be THE colour of the 2020s. It’s not a trend anymore; it’s becoming a necessity for brands to have a green edition of classic models. And we can’t blame them, because when it’s done right, a green-coloured watch can be pretty cool. IWC is no stranger to the colour green, pushing the concept as far as possible with a full-green watch, case and strap included. Following yesterday’s launch of the Racing Green Big Pilot 43, it’s now time for the Portugieser to get the same treatment with new green editions of the Portugieser Automatic 40 and Perpetual Calendar 42.?You simply can’t do without it anymore. Green is all over the place, with dozens of watches recently launched with green dials, in all segments of the industry, in all styles and categories, and in all price ranges. IWC has been pretty
Singer Reimagined Flytrack Prime Edition (Specs & Price)
Singer Reimagined appeared on the independent watchmaking scene in 2017 with a fantastic chronograph, the Track1. Designed to reimagine this essential function, powered by the impressive Agengraphe calibre, Track1 was crowned by several industry accolades, including the prestigious GPHG award for the best chronograph in 2018. Following the presentation of a concept watch last year, Singer Reimagined now introduces Flytrack. This second collection also reimagines the chronograph, but this time with radical minimalism. The watch launches with three exclusive 10-piece limited editions available via subscription now.Singer Flytrack was designed to provide one of the most instantaneous ways of measuring short elapsed times, allowing you to measure repetitive, sequential events. The original display of this time-only watch is a bit puzzling at first. But just like the brand’s first model, Track1, it focuses on essential functions. The hour indication is relegated to the periphery via a
The auction Hammer - F.P. Journe Vagabondage I - Monochrome Watches
An unusual watch with an unusual time display made by an unusual watchmaker in a, for him, unusual case is coming up for auction?at Christie's upcoming New York auction on June 15th. This is the F.P.Journe Vagabondage I.With the stunning F.P. Journe Vagabondage II you would almost forget that there also was a Vagabondage I.

VIDEO Tudor Black Bay 58 Navy Blue M79030B
Sadly, it seems that Tudor will only be presenting one new model in 2020… However, this model is a good one, a very good one indeed. Much anticipated and already acclaimed by the collecting community, this watch is the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue, the smaller version of the brand’s iconic model and bestseller, now with a ‘very Tudor-ish’ dark blue bezel and dial. We’ve decided to produce a new video review for this important new model, not just by looking at it but also by comparing it to two of its siblings, the black/gilt Black Bay 58 and the 41mm Black Bay Midnight blue.?The Black Bay is certainly Tudor’s most important collection and the reason behind the brand’s current success. This watch, first presented in 2012 with a 41mm diameter, an ETA-sourced movement and a burgundy bezel, has been revisited in multiple variations. New colours (black and blue), new movement (manufacture calibre), new complications (GMT and chronograph), new materials (b
