A. Lange & Sohne Tourbograph Perpetual Honeygold Homage to F. A. Lange - Monochrome Watches
When Ferdinand Adolph Lange laid the foundation stone of his workshop in the town of Glashutte on 7 December 1845, he also laid the foundations of Saxony’s esteemed watchmaking tradition and put Glashutte firmly on the map. Today, 175 years later, A. Lange & Sohne commemorates this historic milestone with three Homage to F.A. Lange limited edition pieces, including the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold and the 1815 Thine Honeygold. All three models hail from the 1815 family, a collection of watches that celebrate the birth year of founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange. ?Towering above the others with its extraordinary complexity is this Tourbograph Perpetual, a masterpiece combining a rattrapante chronograph, a perpetual calendar and tourbillon with a fusee-and-chain transmission and a moon phase indicator to boot. In honour of the occasion, the watch is cased in Lange's proprietary Honeygold and features a dark rhodium-plated dial and special finishes on the movement.Opus magnumFirst pres
Hands-On - Chopard Alpine Eagle 33 Automatic (Specs & Price)
Fast on the heels of the Alpine Eagle Pine Green model, Chopard is also releasing six references in a new 33mm case size. When the Alpine Eagle luxury sports watch collection was introduced in 2019, the first time-and-date models were offered in 41mm and 36mm case sizes, moving up to 44mm cases for the chronograph models The new, smaller case size is evidently targeting women and comes in ethical rose gold or Lucent Steel – and combinations of both materials- with or without diamonds on the bezel. Like all members of the Alpine Eagle family, the watch and the chronometer-certified movement are developed and manufactured in-house. And perhaps the best news of all, the date window featured on larger 41mm non-jewellery models has been suppressed.Downsizing a watch while retaining its personality might seem to be an easy task, but it requires a comprehensive study of proportions and balance to ensure the genetic traits of the collection don’t get lost. Although there have alway
Tudor Heritage Black Bay Campaign and Exclusive Making Of Video - Monochrome Watches
The last few years, Tudor has been heavily inspired by their own heritage and, logically, created an entire Heritage collection. Two years ago Tudor launched the Heritage Chrono that features the exact same looks as its vintage ancestor. Last year they surprised everyone with the Pelagos and the Heritage Black Bay. So two major dive watch releases in one year. The Pelagos, albeit not part of the Heritage collection, is the robust yet comfortable alternative to the Sea-Dweller. With a serious depth rating, hefty in size, but extremely wearable because it’s made of titanium – might be a nice tip for . The other dive watch is the Heritage Black Bay that is also a serious dive watch, and adds a dose of vintage looks that grab back on the Tudor Submariners from the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Further to their pre-launch presentation earlier this year, the brand’s first collections are now on the market. Their timepieces provide their own cool, off-beat take on watchmaking, inspired by their fascination for all things mechanical, and a nostalgia for the heyday of car culture and old measurement instruments: speedometers, tachometers, fuel, oil, temp, volt gauges, you name it!If you think that most of the cars nowadays are divested of personality? That the cool, powerful, sensual designs of the past have given up far too much of their character in the pursuit of practicality and safety? Well, if you do feel nostalgic about the golden age of car culture -iconic sports cars, racing gloves, oil gauges, the adrenaline of car racing- Reservoir might be worth a closer look.

Introducing: Grand Seiko 44GS "Kirazuri" SBGA507 and SBGA509
Grand Seiko's Heritage collection is often synonymous with wonderfully textured and subtly coloured dials, including Monochrome's all-time favourites, the Snowflake and the Shunbun. Reflecting the Japanese reverence for nature, many GS dials capture the colours and textures of natural landmarks and seasonal changes using time-honoured artisanal techniques. Created exclusively for the US market, Grand Seiko releases two Heritage models with dials evoking the sunrise and early evening sky over Lake Suwa. Powered by Grand Seiko's innovative and unique Spring Drive technology, the two 44GS limited editions combine accuracy and beauty in equal measure.When the Grand Seiko Corporation of America was established in 2018, Grand Seiko released a series of limited edition watches with sparkling dials inspired by the art of kirazuri or sparkling painting, where mica powder was added to traditional ukiyo-e woodblock prints to give them a discreet shimmer. Still inspired by kirazuri, Grand Seiko pr
