Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary Collection - Review, Price
In Stephen Hawking's universe, the Big Bang signals the beginning of time; in the watchmaking world, it is a best-selling Hublot watch.?Hublot has always been a brand that likes to make noise, a lot of noise. It is loud, explosive and disruptive; a brand that you either love or hate. Although the Big Bang is very much a 21st-century creation, it owes its character to a watch released in 1980. You could say that Carlo Crocco's Hublot watch jump-started the concept of fusion, an unorthodox but refreshing combination of materials that got the brand noticed. And as this watch turns a respectable age in 2020, the brand releases the new Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary collection.Carlo Crocco's unconventional marriage of materialsItalian entrepreneur Carlo Crocco founded the brand MDM Geneve and, after three years of research, launched the Hublot (French for ‘porthole’) at Baselworld in 1980.

Introducing the New Ulysse Nardin Diver X Skeleton White
In 2021, when Ulysse Nardin married the Blast collection's skeletonised appearance to the design of its famous Diver watches, the result came in as a Diver X Skeleton, a model featuring a stainless steel case with a lightweight and highly durable carbonium bezel. A large blue PVD-coated X on the front and bright orange and white elements gave the model its distinctive look. The in-house UN-372 automatic movement, a modified version of the manually wound UN-371 used in Skeleton X models, now with an X-shaped oscillating weight, solidified the brand's new offer.?Last year, Ulysse Nardin presented a new reference in the Diver X Skeleton line-up, in black with yellow accents, with a titanium case and black carbonium bezel. The watch, christened by the brand Diver X Skeleton Black, featured the same design and technical characteristics as the previous model. Come the year 2023, and UN reveals Diver X Skeleton White, I dare say, the most attractive of them all. Ad - Scroll to cont

Oris presents the monochromatic Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five is among the brand's most iconic and recognised collections, going back to the original from 1965 (hence the name). There are a handful of distinctive and unique variations, such as this faithful reissue of a classic, but most follow the same general design language. The latest Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 brings the in-house calibre 400 to the series in a non-limited edition, which is a first. We've already seen the new movement in Aquis divers, so it's great to have in-house Divers Sixty-Five models in regular production.The stainless steel case is 40mm in diameter, which is fairly standard for the series and a perfect contemporary size. The bidirectional rotating bezel has a black aluminium insert that's familiar enough, but it now sports a 12-hour scale for a second time zone. This is another first for a Divers Sixty-Five in addition to the calibre 400. A double-domed sapphire crystal with an interior anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while
