Introducing: The new Tudor Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue
Well, as far as we know Flamingos aren’t blue. As far as we know, the previous hit of Tudor was pink, and yet it wasn’t named Flamingo… Try to understand. Or simply just enjoy yet another unconventional and fun watch by Tudor. Following the highly-discussed and sought-after Black Bay Chrono Pink last year, which somehow matched David Beckham’s football team, Inter Miami FC, the brand is back with yet another cool model, this time in a bright tone of blue/turquoise, the Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue. And it’s not really a surprise since the second jersey of Inter Miami FC is done in a pretty identical colour. Let’s discover this new BB Chrono with a South Beach vibe, breaking that gloomy winter feeling!What do we have to know here… Well, not much has changed compared to either the slightly crazy Black Bay Chrono Pink, the Black Bay Chrono Blue or, for that matter, any other edition of the Black Bay Chrono. So before we move to the news of the d

In-Depth - The Vacheron Constantin 1955 Cornes de Vache, And Milestone Vintage Chronographs From The Museum
Based on the vintage reference 6087, a watch launched in 1955, the modern so-called Cornes de Vache is, without doubt, one of the most sought-after Vacheron Constantin Chronographs. Available only in platinum or pink gold until very recently, a new steel version has recently been introduced but given the limited production and great demand, it is very difficult to find. On the occasion of a visit to the Manufacture, we have taken a look at some milestone watches from the Vacheron Constantin museum collections to better understand the genesis of this superb chronograph.POCKET CHRONOGRAPHSAs you would expect from the oldest watchmaker that has been in production without interruption, Vacheron Constantin has a rich history in chronographs (and in watches in general). The company produced dead-beat seconds pocket watches, often regarded as the ancestor of the chronograph, as early as 1819 – with an independent dead-beat seconds powered by a dedicated gear train.?Vacheron Constantin&#

First Look: New Editions of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds
The Tribute Duoface Small Seconds stands out as one of the finest modern expressions of the timeless Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre. First presented in 1994, the Duoface concept does not offer caseback engraving options. Instead, it compensates with the added functionality of a second time zone display on the reverse side, making full use of its flipping case. This year, two new stainless steel versions, in blue or black, join the collection, bringing out the typical versatile and sophisticated appeal of the Reverso.The latest additions to the Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds series maintain the same case design and dimensions as their predecessors, meaning 47mm x 28.3mm x 10.34mm, with a water resistance of 30 meters. The inner surface of the case holder is decorated with a sunray pattern.? The key updates lie in the dial design: a black or vivid blue front dial paired with a redesigned reverse dial featuring a silver sunray finish instead of the traditional clous de Paris pattern.
