Swatch Group (meaning 18 brands) To Leave Baselworld in 2019 - Monochrome Watches
For once, we’re not going to use the “breaking news” title for nothing. What came in this morning is important news, no debate. As reported?by Swiss newspapers NZZ am Sonntag and Le Temps, Swatch Group, the world’s largest watchmaking group, will be leaving Baselworld – Switzerland’s largest watch and jewellery fair – as of next year. After already several departures and complaints, this is another hard blow for the highly?decried show.?In an interview with the Swiss newspaper?NZZ am Sonntag?that was published this morning, Nick Hayek, CEO of the Swatch Group, explains that it is no longer relevant or useful for the group to exhibit at Baselworld – even though the Swatch Group’s brand portfolio was one of the major, if the not the main, exhibiting groups of the show. Mr Hayek explains that the costs of such a fair are extremely high for the group and its brands – in excess of CHF 50 million for the group, including?travel expe

First Look: The new Chopard Alpine Eagle Skeleton 41 XP TT
Chopard's first luxury sports watch was the St. Moritz, a somewhat flamboyant 1980s watch with an elaborately shaped bezel and an integrated bracelet with a shiny central link that captured the bling spirit of the 1980s. Overhauled in 2019 to become the Alpine Eagle, the brand's luxury sports watch has soared to become a veritable success story. Available in a host of materials, dial colours and complications, the first ultra-thin 41mm Alpine Eagle alighted in the collection in 2023 with a salmon dial and a case height of just 8mm. For 2024, Chopard presents a titanium version of its Alpine Eagle 41 XP TT (XP for ultra-thin and TT for technical and titanium) with an openworked dial to enjoy more details of the in-house automatic L.U.C calibre 96.17-S.Crafted in titanium, which has a slightly darker presence than steel, the case and bracelet are lightweight yet rugged. The titanium is further blended with aluminium and vanadium to make it more resistant to corrosion and salt water. Than

Introducing the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m ETNZ for the 35th America's Cup - Monochrome-Watches
The family of dive watches by Omega is wide, as it includes the both robust and elegant Planet Ocean 600m, the superlative Ploprof 1200m or the vintage-inspired 300 Master Chronometer. Those 3 are the high-end propositions but?the range is also composed of a more affordable and professionally oriented tool-watch, the Seamaster Diver 300m. This legend that exists for ages is now the field for a new special edition celebrating the partnership between Omega, the America’s Cup and the ETNZ (Emirates Team New Zealand) – and it has to be said, this Omega Seamaster Diver 300m ETNZ?is probably one of the best looking Seamaster 300m watches ever.This new Omega Seamaster Diver 300m ETNZ?special edition can be called a Yachting / Regatta watch because of its specific chronograph function. Let us explain what such a watch is. In the world of yachting races, navigators have to aligned on the starting line – like in every race. However, a boat is not static and the starting line ha

Introducing the Richard Mille RM 011 Red TPT Quartz Automatic Flyback Chronograph
You've certainly noticed immediately that Richard Mille latest creation is red. Obviously (Except if you are color blind, and we're profoundly sorry for you). However, your eyes have probably spotted?something else; the?juxtaposition of the words Quart and Automatic. Wait, is that at all possible? Is RM going to lower that many their watches and to have quartz movements? We know the market to be quite difficult these days, but come on! Ok, that was just a fear, as the new?Richard Mille RM 011 Red TPT Quartz Automatic Flyback Chronograph is a true (and very bold) Haute Horlogerie piece, with a real mechanical movement but with a case mixing carbon fiber and layers of red quartz (the material, not the watch technology). Explanations.As we always tend to say, a bit of humor never hurts. However, the watch in question here and the material used to create its case are far, very far from being a joke. It’s even quite a serious deployment of technology to create the case of the?Richard
