First Look: The new Sand Gold AP Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon 38mm
Marking a first for the recently introduced 38mm iteration of Code 11.59, Audemars Piguet equips its most compact reference with an automatic flying tourbillon. Not just any tourbillon, mind you, but AP's ultra-thin calibre 2968, aka RD#3. Representing the best of both worlds, the new Code 11.59 Tourbillon fuses a state-of-the-art movement with a graceful sand gold case sparkling with diamonds.Tourbillon complications were relatively rare in Audemars Piguet's historical repertoire until 1986 when it launched the calibre 2870, the world's first automatic serially produced tourbillon. One of the lightest of its kind thanks to its titanium cage, calibre 2870 weighed just 0.123g and was also one of the thinnest (4.8mm) until it was surpassed by Bulgari's Octo Finissimo in 2018.The 2023 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Extra-Thin RD#3, fitted with the calibre 2968Celebrating the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary in 2022, AP produced an automatic flying tourbillon to fit in

Introducing The Miami Pink IWC Pilot Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas
Ten years… That’s how long the partnership between Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team is… And this connection has seen the creation of multiple watches, either dedicated to the world of motorsport in general, to the pilots of the team (Lewis Hamilton first and foremost), to its boss or to the team itself. The most focused watch in the lineup is, without a doubt, the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas, with its green accents on the dial and green rubber strap. On the occasion of the upcoming Miami Grand Prix this weekend, IWC brings the heat in typical Florida-style, with a Miami Pink edition of its titanium chronograph.last year saw the introduction of the reference IW388108, a rather compact titanium pilot’s chronograph with a livery-matched green rubber strap and the same colour to be found all over the dial. Presented as the team watch, as such meant to be worn by the team's designers, aerodynamicists,

IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph Bucherer BLUE ref. IW371492 - Hands-On (Specs & Price)
The Portugieser Chronograph by IWC Schaffhausen needs little to no introduction. It is one of those classic watches that every collector will encounter, one day or another. For over 20 years, it remained practically unchanged, with the exception of variations on the dial. The model we present today is yet another of these variations… and it really works. Let’s take a closer look at the highly limited IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph Bucherer BLUE.We introduced this new Portugieser Chronograph Bucherer BLUE quite recently, in a news article when the watch was officially launched. Still, we’ve been pretty amazed by the work done by Bucherer to give this version its own identity and, let’s be honest, quite a cool look. Something we wanted to confirm by seeing the watch in the metal – no that easy knowing this piece will soon be sold out and is limited to 365 pieces. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

SIHH 2015: Introducing the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time - Hands-on withLIVE Photos, Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
Montblanc keep surprising friend and foe, both with spectacular timepieces, like the ExoTourbillon that we showed you this morning, and with very useful timepieces like the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time. Last year Montblanc already surprised every one with a perpetual calendar at the price of € 10k Euro and now they present the Dual Time for below €4k Euro. Again a very competitive price for a very elegant, and very useful timepiece.In these modern times, timepieces with complications like a second time zone or even a worldtimer (like Montblanc’s new Orbis Terrarum) are among our favourites. And there’s a properly good reason for that because these complications can and WILL be used on a daily basis. The new Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time is part of the Heritage Chronometrie collection, which comprises the new ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph and two new watches with a calendar complication (an annual calendar and a complete calendar.)

The Nichols N1A Is An F1 Designers Wildest Dream Come True
It’s not often we have the potential chance of owning a genuine thoroughbred Can-Am-inspired road car built by a former Formula 1 engineer, but today’s the day. Steve Nichols, who famously was involved in the development of the all-conquering McLaren MP4/4, has stepped out of the limelight and presented his own supercar just a couple of weeks ago, the Nichols N1A. And by the looks of it, it’s an uncompromising mix of both new and old. But there’s more to the story than just another low-volume high-dollar performance car, as the Nichols N1A is all about passion and excitement. It promises a visceral driving experience inspired by the iconic McLaren M1A sports prototype racing car.Winning all but oneAs mentioned in the intro, Steve Nichols is a big name in Formula 1.
