Well, trying to hide the actual?fact that we literally felt in love with the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection, introduced during the SIHH 2016, will be rather difficult. We already showed you the?classical?edition, the?Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic 4500V – the sort of entry-level edition – and we continued our journey with the ultra-luxurious but really desirable one, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-thin ref. 2000V with Calibre 1120. However, in this collection, there’s more: a masculine and sporty chronograph, which besides these attributes keeps the same features as the rest of the collection: new in-house movement, Geneva Seal, refined look and versatility.

Hands-On: The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Blue Boutique Edition
When it was first presented in 2017, the Black Bay Chrono?generated mixed emotions. The good ones came from the overall performance and fairly reasonable price (considering the whole package), as well as the unexpected industrial alliance with Breitling. Others pointed out the rather uninspired design of the inaugural edition as well as the strange mix between racing elements and dive watch features. But we’re now seven years down the line, and the Tudor Black Bay Chrono isn’t what it was back then. It has evolved gradually to become a better-looking, more appealing watch. It even made headlines in a surprisingly cool Pink edition. Is the latest model in the collection, the Black Bay Chrono Blue, elevating this watch again?

Jaeger-LeCoultre already proved that they are capable of?housing a Gyrotourbillon in a dress watch. But it was a big watch, measuring 55mm by 36mm. The platinum case added to the weight. At the 85th birthday of the Reverso they have taken the combination to the next level by trimming width and thickness by 30%. Here is the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon.The ReversoThe reverse watch was invented in 1931 as a solution for British officers based in India who were capable of watching the time and playing polo at the same time. The patent described a watch that can slide on its base and flip over on itself. Over time, the Reverso has become an icon of the watch industry and arguably Jaeger-LeCoultre's most famous watch.

Like the Ingenieur Automatic 40mm that we showed you yesterday, this is another new version for the fully revamped Ingenieur collection and features a rounded ceramic bezel.Because IWC hasn’t officially released the news, we’re looking at the IWC in-house forum for some facts. It looks like the AMG Black Series will measure 46 mm in diameter, 14.5 mm in height and feature the IWC in-house caliber 80110. Ad - Scroll to continue with article To be honest, I hoped the AMG Black Series would measure 44 mm in diameter, like the Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth. Also the thickness of 14.5 mm is not something that I applaud. However visually it looks like a real treat, even offering a view on the movement through a sapphire crystal in t
