Introducing The Combat-Ready Ikepod Seapod Camo Pixel
Ikepod was founded in 1994 by entrepreneur Oliver Ike and influential designer Marc Newson, the name behind three Atmos clocks for Jaeger-LeCoultre and Ikepod’s cult pod-shaped UFO watches that caught the eye of designers, artists and architects worldwide. Although Ikepod had a bumpy financial ride, it was revitalised in 2018 to attract a new generation with great design and aggressive prices. The Seapod, Ikepod’s diver, surfaces again with a combat-ready Camo Pixel dial that will speak to gamers and veterans above the waves and at depths of 200 metres.Camo PixelUsed by animals to blend into the environment and survive attacks from predators, camouflage crossed over into the military to keep soldiers and their kit protected from enemy fire, even at close quarters. Camo pixel, used for the first time by the military in 2005, is composed of pixelated patterns in different sizes and colours.

5 Sophisticated Dress Watches with Blue Dials Launched Recently - Monochrome Watches
A dress watch is the epitome of elegance and every well-dressed man should consider having one in his wardrobe. James Bond might get away with wearing a dinner jacket and a Seamaster 300M, but most men don't have to abandon the casino table and engage in life and death battles. Simplicity, understatement and elegance are operative words in this genre. Unlike those loud watches bristling with complications, a dress watch simply (and quietly) tells the time. Designed to be worn with a suit or even more formal attire, the understated spirit and timeless elegance of a dress watch mean it is the kind of watch that should last you a lifetime – and more. Blue, in all its tonalities, is the colour of the moment, but as you will see, the five models we have chosen embrace a wide range of styles. ?Breguet Classique 5177 Grand Feu Blue EnamelWhen it comes to classic styling, Breguet is the name that springs to mind. Abandoning the brand's hallmark silver guilloche dials, Breguet ventures in
Introducing: The Habring2 Josef Regulator With Dead-Beat Seconds
Twenty years ago, Austrian couple Maria and Richard Habring (the latter being famous already for his previous work at IWC, including developing the 7750-based Doppel Chronograph, among other clever mechanisms) started their own journey, an independent watchmaking brand known as Habring2. Now one of the most respected indie watchmakers in their segment, one of the few brands to actually make watches and movements in Austria, Habring2 has decided to celebrate two decades of passion-fueled timepieces with two new models: a moon phase model that we’ll cover in a later article, and this new Josef watch, a regulator that does more than just display the time in split sub-dials.While some independent watchmakers are all about ultra-high-end finishing or record-breaking complications, Habring2 went another route. Far more pragmatic, slightly original but still very usable on a daily basis. This combination of originality, cleverness of construction and search for true reliability and serv
