Hands-On - The New Omega De Ville Tresor Power Reserve (Price)
Omega unveils the first in a line of new De Ville Tresor men's watches for 2021. Previously available in three-hand & date configurations, the new 18k yellow gold Tresor model features a power reserve indicator at noon counterbalanced by a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Following in the footsteps of its 1949 ancestor, the guiding light behind the Tresor is the combination of understated elegance with a peerless movement. The latest De Ville Tresor Power Reserve embraces both facets. The subtle vintage vibe and slim profile deliver the understated elegance we associate with the Tresor collection, while the manual-winding Master Chronometer movement guarantees the industry’s highest standard of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic-resistance.not just a pretty faceThe Tresor, launched in 1949, was Omega's proposal of a simple, three-hand watch for men in a slim case with the best-performing movement of its day. Tresor, meaning treasure, did not refer to the pre
Chopard Full Strike Minute Repeater (with price)
With the?L.U.C Full Strike, Chopard Watches’?high-end collection welcomes a minute repeater, a complication never explored by the brand, and launched as the crowning point of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the Chopard Manufacture. We’ve seen some tourbillons, some perpetual calendars with?chronograph, super slim and eco-friendly watches?previously, but never a striking watch. At first glance you?could easily imagine that this?is just another minute repeater, nicely-designed and superbly finished but nothing?really?spectacular (relatively speaking of course, a minute repeater is always a little?spectacular…). However, this?Chopard L.U.C Full Strike features?something entirely?new and innovative, which makes it?different from any other minute repeater we’ve seen before.As a watch from Chopard’s?high-end collection – and we all know that these are pretty good watches, to say the least – you can safely assume the?L.U.C Full Strike
Richard Mille RM 57-01 Phoenix and Dragon - Monochrome-Watches
Alongside the traditional (well, if we use the denomination ‘traditional’ for RM) Richard Mille?watches, all inspired by racing and using some crazy materials – remember the nano-tubes used for the dial of the RM 022 – or amazing complications – see the G-sensor of the RM 36-01 – the brand also has a more distinguished collection, inspired by jewelry and the art of engraving. For this edition of Watch & Wonders, they introduce a follow-up of the RM 057 (that we recently photographed), being the?Richard Mille RM 57-01 Tourbillon Phoenix and Dragon – Jackie Chan.For this RM 57-01, Richard Mille takes his inspiration in the classical Asian myths – the?Phoenix, a supernatural bird, and the Dragon.?Created from 3N rose gold, these legendary figures inhabiting the interior of the movement are carved and incised entirely by hand. Special miniature tools had to be made for the specific artistry required to realise these two creatures. To incr
SIHH 2016: Introducing the Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum - Live photos, specs and price - Monochrome Watches
Last year Montblanc introduced the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum and that was the brand’s first?worldtimer. It was an instant succes, and received so much positive comments from both collectors and laymen. This year the brand not only celebrates their 110th anniversary, but also the 10th anniversary of the 4810 collection that was introduced a decade ago for Montblanc’s 100 anniversary. The entire 4810 collection has been redesigned, not drastically, but let’s say it’s a good touch-up after being in service for ten years. Slightly slimmer watches, slightly reduced diameters, and it looks good. Several novelties are being introduced into this collection, including aforementioned worldtimer, the Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum.Last year we have tested the Orbis Terrarum from the Heritage Spirit collection. It proves to be a very stylish watch that easily catches the attention, and during our test period it received very positive comments. So compared to that model,

The Lamborghini Muira MB&F Horological Machine 5 or HM5?is back on the road. If you’re not too young or if you’re fond of an era that could seem very strange to teenagers (yes, we’re talking about the 1970s) the shape of the HM5 should be familiar to you. Apart from the steampunk-inspired Legacy Machine 101 recently revealed, the HM5 is based on one of Max Busser’s favorite theme, the?futuristic-looking icons of the 1970's. And the MB&F HM5 is now available in black. But don’t be?wrong, it’s not just another PVD?coated edition but a brand new and innovative material.The MB&F HM5 was until now available in two editions: the first introduced with a Zirconium case and a second one with a Red Gold and Titanium case. Now the the 1970s inspired Horological Machine is back in black. Ok, you’ll expect just a new colour or maybe the use of a titanium PVD coated case. But that would underestimate Max and his friends. The black case is made wi
