Audemars Piguet Millenary Frosted Gold Philosophique - Review, Price
The new Audemars Piguet Millenary Frosted Gold Philosophique challenges the conventional way of reading time with just one hand for the hours and minutes. Clearly not a watch for people obsessed with chronometer-grade precision, time is meant to be read approximately, give or take a few minutes here and there. Original and bristling with unusual textures and finishes, the Millenary Philosophique sports a new automatic movement and comes in two versions: 18k pink gold with a brown dial and 18k white gold with a blue dial. Let’s have a look at this unusual and poetical timepiece.ProvenanceThe distinguishing feature of Audemars Piguet's Millenary collection is its oval-shaped case. Introduced in 1995, it originally catered for men and women alike but since 2015 only features women's models in the line-up. With its generous case size of 39.5mm, the Millenary has become something of a showcase for creativity, artisanal skills and unconventional, off-centred dials often exposing parts

The evocative Cartier Masse Mysterieuse flips your senses upside-down
Cartier has always had a knack for creating evocative, expressive watches riddled with innovation. Its portfolio is filled with fascinating pieces like the Tank Asymetrique, Crash Skeleton, Cloche de Cartier and Rotonde de Cartier. Throughout the years Cartier manages to walk the fine line between refined elegance, traditional craftsmanship and an unbridled push for creativity and modernity. Perhaps the best example is Cartier's love for mystery and illusion, with watches and clocks not revealing all their secrets and leaving you baffled about how it actually works. And that element of mystique is perfectly captured in the new Cartier Masse Mysterieuse. Before going into details, we have to admit we're not entirely 100% sure how this watch works. Sure, we're familiar with the concept of the Mystery watches and clocks by Cartier, and we have read a press release of course, but to grasp the way the Masse Mysterieuse ticks is a challenge.

IWC Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Ceratanium Review
With roots that go back to the 1940s and, more importantly, a production history that started in the mid-1990s, IWC‘s Pilot’s Watch collection is one of the brand’s most established ranges, and it comprises almost all complications and movements that the brand has managed to create over the years. Of course, Kurt Klaus’ perpetual calendar is no exception to the rule, and the Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar has been seen, even recently, in multiple editions, such as the new Racing Green or the blue-on-steel model of the permanent collection. But today, it’s a TOP GUN watch that is released, which means tactical black colour scheme. But what’s more interesting here is not the look, but the materials, as we’re looking at the brand’s first watch entirely made of Ceratanium, case AND bracelet. Meet the new IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Ceratanium IW503604.?If you think a bit… The overall idea behind this watch cou
