Tudor Baselworld 2018 - Tudor Predictions 2018 - Tudor Novelties 2018
Tudor has gained an incredible level of popularity over the past few years, becoming one of the coolest players in the watch game. This is the reason why we, at MONOCHROME, have placed this brand under our radar for quite some years already and,?like we did with a few days ago, it’s time for us to be creative and to try and guess what Tudor might launch in the very near future. So, here are the possible?Tudor Baselworld 2018 novelties – in other words,?the Tudor watches we’d love to see at Baselworld 2018.This is not the first time that we look into our crystal ball to see Tudor’s future. We have been doing it for a couple of years already – in 2014, in 2015, in 2016 and last year, in 2017. Some of our predictions became reality, just like the blue Pelagos or the Black Bay Black dial, some never came to life. Yet, this won’t stop our creativity and this is why we have come up with some more predictions for Tudor Baselworld 2018 novelties.Tudor Base
The Chopard Full Strike Wins the GPHG 2017 "Aiguille d'Or" (And all the results of the Grand Prix)
As you’ve probably seen through the live feed we provided to you, today was the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve, also known as the Oscars of the Watchmaking Industry, celebrating the best watches (via 12 different categories, for 16 different prizes) of the year. While in 2016 the “Aiguille d’Or” (the prize for the best watch of the year) went to Ferdinand Berthoud and their superb FB1 watch. Well, if a brand can’t win twice in a row the GPHG, the?“Aiguille d’Or” will, however, remain in the hands of the?Scheufele family, as the winner of the GPHG 2017 is Chopard and the impressive?Full Strike.Grand Prix/Aiguille d’Or – Chopard?L.U.C Full StrikeLet’s start with the big one, the watch that has just been awarded as the “best watch of 2017” with the Aiguille d’Or prize, the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike.

Introducing: The 2023 Editions Of The Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Chronograph & Classic Chronograph
Just as every year, Chopard launches new iterations of its iconic racing chronograph, named after one of Italy’s most famous racing events, the Mille Miglia. This daunting open-road race was held between 1927 and 1957 and made history thanks to some of the greatest racing cars piloted by the bravest drivers imaginable. The event returned in 1977 as the Mille Miglia Storica, a classic car event eligible for pre-1958 cars that registered or raced the original Mille Miglia. Chopard has been the title sponsor for this highlight event of the year for 36 years and named its racing-inspired watch collection after it. New for 2023 is a limited edition of the GTS Chronograph with a charity incentive as parts of the proceeds are donated to the victims of the recent Emilia Romagna floods. Also joining the collection is a quartet of new models of the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph, with a new size and new colours.The Mille Miglia road raceAs said, the Mille Miglia event is one of the most
