Hands-on - 2016 Cartier Santos 100 ADLC, now back fully black and in-house (live pics, specs & price) - Monochrome Watches
With no fanfare or fireworks, quietly, in the middle of the rush of the SIHH 2016, in the luxurious salons of the Cartier booth, nearly forgotten because pushed into the background by the introduction of the Drive, Cartier introduced this year a new version of an icon, the Santos 100. Well, if the design remains the same as the previous editions, some new colors are available. No big deal… However, it was until we’ve been told this watch came for the first time with a manufacture?movement. Here is the?2016 Cartier Santos 100 ADLC, the icon back in full black and in-house.The Cartier Santos 100 isn’t a new watch.

TAG Heuer And Porsche Join Forces For The Legends Of Panamericana
Throughout history, Porsche and TAG Heuer have crossed paths on many occasions. This has led to a long and extensive partnership of the two legendary manufacturers, with watches and timekeeping on one end, and high-performance sports and racing cars on the other. Not only do the two brands share history on-track but also off-track, with special edition watches such as the Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche being a very recent example. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Porsche, as well as the 70th anniversary of the Carrera Panamericana this year, a new collaborative project has just been released, which is inspired by one of the most significant Porsche racing cars in history; the humble Porsche 550 Coupe.?The carrera panamericanaThe Carrera Panamericana is simply put one of the most famous yet daunting road-racing events in history. It’s on the same level as the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia in Italy. Competitors have to navigate more than 3,400 kilometres throughout Mexico, basic

IWC Big Pilots Watch Shock Absorber XPL IW357201
The military background of the IWC pilot watch needs little introduction. On the occasion of Watches & Wonders 2021, the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer unveils the Big Pilot's Watch Shock Absorber XPL. The first model to be created by the brand's “Experimental Engineering Team” is all about resistance to extreme shocks… as it is able to withstand shocks in excess of 30,000G! And it is not just a concept, as it will be available in (very) limited production.Housed in a 44mm Ceratanium case – the brand's high-tech titanium and ceramic compound, combining the advantages of ceramic (scratch-resistant) and titanium (lightweight) – this development is based on a patented SPRIN-g PROTECT system that shields the movement from impacts. If this is not the first example of a spring-mounted movement, the performances communicated by IWC and verified by the Cavendish Laboratory and the University of Cambridge are truly impressive, with a shock resistance in excess

Introudcing - Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Sedna Gold (Price)
When referring to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, one of the most enduring dive watches on the market and a pioneer of the genre launched in 1953, we should actually mention two different watches. The first is the large and robust version, with its distinctive sapphire bezel. The second is a sleeker model, with an instrumental look, the Bathyscaphe, which back in the late 1950s was a diver’s watch in a size suited to everyday wear. Today, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe gets a luxurious touch with a case made of Sedna gold and a blue dial/bezel combination.This isn’t the first time that the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe is offered in precious metal. And it isn’t the first time that the brand uses a specific gold alloy either, as the catalogue already comprises versions in 18k Sedna gold fitted with a black dial and bezel. What’s new is the combination of the classic blue dial/bezel with this original gold. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
