The Evolution of the Escapement and recent innovations - Monochrome Watches
250 years after Thomas Mudge invented the first lever escapement, developing escapements has once again become the new frontier in technological breakthroughs of old-fashioned mechanical watches; a crowning glory for the most innovative, skilful and daring watchmakers. Here's a review of recent prospects and advances concerning what is certainly the most important part of a watch, the escapement.With this article dedicated to the escapement, we're introducing to you a new column, entirely dedicated to technics: A Technical Perspective. We learnt from recent talks with you, our readers, that you are interested in learning more about movement?parts, about innovation and about the way some complications work. Today, we'll clarify the evolution of a crucial part of a mechanical watch, the escapement.Invented by the English Horologist Thomas Mudge in the middle of the 18th century, the Swiss lever escapement is currently used in almost all of the mechanical watches we have today. Yet, after
Introducing the Breitling Navitimer 01 in 46mm - Monochrome Watches
The Navitimer is Breitling’s most emblematic watch. Presented in 1952 with?the reference 806 as the ultimate pilot chronograph, equipped with a very useful slide rule, it was endorsed as the official timekeeping instrument of the?AOPA – the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. At that time, with its 42mm, it was already huge, especially when you consider that most watches were sized at 35mm. For years now, the Navitimer has shared the same spirit and design, with the same slide rule and its 3-sub-counter panda dial (black dial with white sub-dials). But the 43mm of the actual models are quite average now and an?update was needed, just to keep the?spirit of the original?one: a massive 46mm or 48mm tool-watch to wear over?your?flight jacket.Navitimer 806 – Photo by WatchFredThe Navitimer is one of the few watches that can really claim to be iconic. It even boasts a surprising link between an astronaut (Scott Carpenter), a French singer (Serge Gainsbourg), an American
Revolution Online's Cartier forum started one year ago today - Monochrome Watches
Usually it’s no ‘biggy’ when a forum exists one year, however we from Monochrome have become fan of the Cartier forum at Revolution Online. To celebrate this we listed our favorite posts for you!Revolution Online’s Cartier forum is a magnificent place where you can read and learn a lot about the brand. Most people think of the Tank Francaise or Santos 100 when talking about Cartier watches, as well as old Tank ‘vermeille’. It was Cartier moderator GEO, who tought me there is soooo much more to Cartier’s watch history. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Cartier has an incredible rich history when it comes to watches.

Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium Blue Dial (Specs & Price)
The?Avigation BigEye is one of those great Heritage Longines watches that pay tribute to the rich aviation past of the brand. Launched in 2017 in steel with a black dial, it was modelled after an elusive 1930s watch with quite a resemblance with some glorious post-WWII pilot’s chronograph too. Also, as indicated by its name, the watch was characterized by its oversized minute counter, a design also known as “Big Eye chronographs.” This year, in addition to the black dial model, Longines adds a new and striking version with a gradient blue dial and even stronger vintage colours. And, most importantly, it now comes in titanium.?BackgroundThe actual vintage Longines BigEye watch from the 1930s that inspired the design of the modern AvigationAs explained in our review of the steel model, the story behind the Avigation BigEye Chronograph is anything but clear. The design is based on a 1930s pilot’s chronograph that a collector presented to the Longines museum, but th
Old School - Girard-Perregaux's first Quartz - Monochrome Watches
Your mechanical watch? Obsolete, thing of the past, just trade it in for a nice new quartz watch and you will always be on time! Right now this sounds like an absurd proposition, especially to most watch collectors and connoisseurs, but in the early 1970's it was reality.Although Seiko was the first company to introduce a commercially produced quartz wristwatch on the market, the battle was still on in Switzerland for the position of runner up. Surprisingly it was not the Beta 21 joint venture (that included, amongst others, Omega, , Piaget and Patek Philippe), but Girard-Perregaux that was first. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Girard-Perregaux developed the movement in house, but with the help of some outside companies and experts. In the mid 1960's Georges Vuffray, an electronics expert, was contracted to develop a quartz clock that later was miniaturiz
