Introducing: IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 TOP GUN Lake Tahoe
It is widely known that IWC has experience with ceramic watches since it was the first brand to release a timepiece made of zirconium oxide (the real name for ceramic) in 1985 with the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar. In recent years, the Schaffhausen-based brand has been playing a lot with colours, releasing Top Gun models in black (of course), beige (Mojave), green (Woodland), blue (Oceana) and white, with the Lake Tahoe editions, until now available with a chronograph movement or a perpetual calendar. Now, the concept returns in a simpler, smaller and more accessible watch based on the Mark XX range, with the new Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 TOP GUN Lake Tahoe IW328104.What we’re looking at here is essentially a “Tahoed” version of the Mark XX, the latest evolution in the classic Mark series of IWC. As such, you won’t be surprised to see that most of the specifications of this new compact Lake Tahoe are shared with the standard steel models, as well as the li

Hands-On Atelier de Chronometrie AdC21 for Only Watch 2021
Atelier de Chronometrie makes its first appearance at the Only Watch auction with the donation of an absolutely stunning handmade watch to raise money for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The AdC21 is not part of a collection and was specially designed for the Only Watch charity auction. Like other timepieces created by the independent brand, it evokes a vintage 1930s and 1940s design ethos with its elegant two-tone sector dial and pink gold case. A time-only watch running on a heavily reworked vintage Omega calibre 283, this exquisite unique piece will be highly contested during the auction.With its French name, you could mistake it as a Swiss or even a French watch brand. However, Atelier de Chronometrie is a Spanish company. Founded in 2014 in Barcelona, Atelier de Chronometrie creates unique watches by hand using artisanal methods and restored vintage chronometer movements. Just two years after its inauguration, the independent brand produced the AdC1, an Observatoire Chr

Baselworld 2019 - Oris Aquis GMT Date (Specs & Price)
The Oris Aquis is the cornerstone of the brand; a robust, no-nonsense, well-executed and well-positioned diver’s watch that perfectly sums up the brand’s philosophy. Available in multiple versions, with various complications (date, day-date, small seconds, chronograph, pointer-date or regulator), surprisingly this watch has never been equipped with a dual-time function. Problem solved at Baselworld 2019, with the new Oris Aquis GMT Date.?This new GMT edition of the Aquis is far from a revolution, as it shares most of its characteristics with other models of the collection. However, not revolutionary does not mean void of interest. It is surprising, but until today, the Aquis had never featured a dual-time/traveller’s/GMT complication. Admittedly, in the past, there was a watch called the Diver GMT, but this was the predecessor of the Aquis. For the 2019 edition of the Basel watch fair, Oris equips its famous diver’s watch with one of the most useful everyday com

Hands on with the Piaget Emperador Coussin Large Moon - Monochrome Watches
One of the watches that made a big impression since the first time I laid eyes on it, was the Piaget Emperador Coussin Large Moon. Yes it’s big, however at the time I only saw some photos of it. Recently I got the chance to get some hands-on time with it and strap it around my wrist. It was still as good (actually better) as when I saw it on photo several years ago.With the Emperador Coussin Large Moon, Piaget introduced a new movement with a moon phase indication, caliber 860P. The Emperador Coussin Large Moon measures 46.5 mm in diameter, rather large when simply looking at the specifications. However on the wrist it fits perfectly and although it definitely isn’t a small watch, it also isn’t too big. Its size really suits the design with the clean dial and over-size crater surface moon.

Introducing: TAG Heuer Updates The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date & GMT
TAG Heuer is renowned for its automotive heritage and racing chronographs, but the brand also boasts a strong nautical and water-sport legacy, particularly with its Aquaracer dive watch collection. Introduced in 2004/2005 as the direct successor to the 2000 series, the Aquaracer line has become a cornerstone in TAG Heuer’s portfolio. The collection was fully revamped in 2021 with a rather convincing update: more elaborate, with sharper lines yet still very recognizable. This year, TAG Heuer once again expands and updates the collection, with several new Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT versions, powered by new proprietary movements and featuring appealing new dials.?The main update with these new versions of the Aquaracer Professional 300 is their movement, with a transition from off-the-shelves Sellita calibres to proprietary movements. These new engines have been conceived with AMT, a sister company of Sellita focusing on higher-grade, propriet
