For those who vist Monochrome-Watches regularly, you probably know that we have soft spot for independent watchmakers and timepieces?that display the time in a different way, meaning without traditional hands and dials. One of our top favorite watches?is, without any possible discussion, the URWERK UR-210, a piece?that we extensively reviewed and filmed in a rather personal column, written by our editor in chief – for the full steel edition. It was certainly enthusiastic – and for very good reasons.

Alexandre Meerson Altitude Premiere & Altitude Officier - Review with live photos & price - Monochrome-Watches
A few months ago, we introduced to you a new luxury brand with a simple but highly enjoyable design and an interesting horological content: Alexandre Meerson. By only looking at the press photos and reading the press release, we found that both the story was highly captivating and that the timepieces were not denied of elegance.

So far at the SIHH 2019 we've seen two other Submersible novelties - Marina Militare and Luna Rossa –? rigged for action in XXL Carbotech cases. The new PAM00683 and PAM00959 variants of the Submersible shrink in size, come with either a black dial and black ceramic bezel or grey dial and blue ceramic bezel and are fitted with an automatic movement.Smaller case sizeFor many Paneristi, the brand is synonymous with large case sizes and a 47mm whopper on the wrist considered pretty standard fare. Reaching out to a wider audience, Panerai presents these 42mm Submersibles reasoning that a 42mm diameter is still big enough to be consistent with the brand's DNA, but small enough to suit most wrists. Crafted in AISI 316L stainless steel, the case
