Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Special Editions 2020 (Specs & Price)
Even if most of the buzz has been generated around the successful Octo collection – and its multiple thinness world records – there is more than just one modern icon produced by the Italian watchmaker/jeweller. Based on a model introduced in the mid-1970s, the Bvlgari Bvlgari collection perpetuates this love affair between Bvlgari and its country of origin, with a deceptively simple design that actually incorporates multiple references to Italian culture. Today, the brand launches the Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Editions 2020, inspired by the nine cities – Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, London, Ibiza, Milan, Mexico City and New York – that have hosted Bvlgari in the past.A 1970s BackgroundThe original design of the Bvlgari Bvlgari, with its signature cylindrical case and bezel engraved with the brand’s name and Roma, was first introduced in 1975 as a limited edition gift for 100 of Bvlgari's best clients. With its unexpected combination of a yellow gold shine, a cl

Introducing The Summery Hublot Big Bang Unico Sky Blue
Hublot has forged its identity on a fusion of state-of-the-art materials and extroverted watches, personified by the Big Bang collection. Similar to the differences between the original Royal Oak and the beefier, more aggressive temperament of the Royal Oak Offshore, Hublot's original Classic Fusion of 1980 was fed a steady diet of testosterone to grow in stature and become the bigger and bolder Big Bang in 2005. Hosting a wide array of complications, the Big Bang Unico sub-collection is equipped with Hublot's fully integrated in-house chronograph complication. In light of the upcoming summer months, the Big Bang Unico appears in a Sky Blue ceramic case and matching rubber strap.Colourful ceramicAs a precursor in the use of colourful high-tech ceramic cases since 2019 (with unusual colours like yellow and red), Hublot delivers its summery 100m water-resistant Big Bang Unico in a 42mm light blue ceramic case decorated with satin-finished and polished surfaces. With a thickness of 14.5mm

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Pink Gold & Blue Dial
This latest version of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph in a pink gold case with a blue dial exudes a warmer and more luxurious vibe than other models in the current line-up. Admittedly, there is another pink gold model in the collection, but it has a more demure silver dial and just two strap options. This stunning Overseas Chronograph comes with?Vacheron Constantin‘s impressively finished bracelet in solid pink gold and two additional straps allowing you to dress it up or down, according to the occasion. Equipped with the in-house integrated chronograph calibre 5200, this 2022 Overseas Chronograph retains all the specifications of former models but cuts a dash in its handsome pink gold and navy suit.Third GenerationVacheron’s Overseas collection has a fascinating history. When it surfaced in 1977 for the brand’s 222 anniversary, it quickly established itself as the third member of the holy trinity of luxury sports watches (AP and PP). You can read all ab

In-Depth: Why the TAG Heuer CH80 (now named Heuer-03) comes back? (and a visit of the relaunched Chevenez Manufacture) - Monochrome Watches
One week ago, we introduced to you?the first prototype of the TAG Heuer Autavia “Jochen Rindt”?reedition, one of the first customer-designed watches made by the industry in a long time. That’s already a good news on its own, and this watch was not the only point of interest, as inside its case ticks something we didn’t expect to see anymore from TAG Heuer: the Calibre Heuer-03 (previously calibre?CH80?that?was supposed to be a project ‘killed’ before its birth). During the Heuer collectors summit, we had the chance to visit the Chevenez Manufacture (the one that was?supposedly stopped), to see the new movement, to understand?the evolutions and finally to talk with the teams, including Jean-Claude Biver, just to shed some light on this complex?but, in the end, happy situation.BackgroundWhat happened at TAG… Didn’t?stay at TAG!?Why? The fact that?TAG Heuer is a large company, owned by a publicly listed group (LVMH), made the situation publi
