Introducing The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202XT Titanium & BMG
When it comes down to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin – as we call it, the real deal for an RO – the current reference is the 16202, itself replacing the 15202. Next to this reference number is a pair of letters, which indicate the material of choice for each edition. ST for steel, BA for yellow gold, BC for white gold… And we’ve seen many more in the past too. Take for instance the 15202IP, which combined titanium and platinum. Today, AP introduces the Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202XT. And, apart from one very specific exception, this combination of letters has never been seen in the standard collection.?XT… Letters that might not feel familiar at all for the RO Jumbo. Except that, if we get back in time a bit, in 2021 to be precise, Audemars Piguet did present a watch with such reference, in the shape of the 15202XT. What made this watch special was a combination of uniqueness, since it was a piece unique for Only Watch charity auction (

First Look: IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton
One of the most accomplished motorsport athletes, Lewis Hamilton is equally famous for his racing pedigree (seven-time F1 world champion, on the same level as Schumacher), his striking personality and his distinctive personal style and polarizing outfits. This sense of fashion and style has long been reflected in his horological choices, not only by wearing some of the boldest creations of IWC (his and Mercedes-AMG‘s long-time partner) but also by creating special editions together with the Schaffhausen-based watchmaker. Today, both parties reveal the IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton, a watch that isn’t just about colours and aesthetics but about high-end watchmaking too.?This new limited edition is the third timepiece designed in a collaboration between IWC and Lewis Hamilton and the first to be based on the Portugieser. The first joint creation was the Ingenieur Chronograph Edition Lewis Hamilton IW379602, a full titanium chronograph releas
A Quintet Of Tantalising Black And Gold Watches
Although we all love the classical combinations like stainless steel and blue?or a silvery-white dial against a brown leather strap, it’s the striking contrast of black and gold that seems on the rise. Trends ebb and flow, and some might be a bit more persistent than others but the fact is, we’ve taken notice of the recent rise of watches in this distinct two-tone outfit. And although the combination is far from ‘never-been-done-before’, it makes for sensational watches when done right. And these five recently introduced watches have done things very right by not only combining colours but on occasion, also incorporating different types of materials to achieve the desired effect.?H. Moser & Cie Endeavour Concept Tourbillon VantablackWe start things off with the deepest black possible, as H. Moser & Cie recently introduced the Endeavour in rose gold and Vantablack. For the first time ever Moser combines the two in the Endeavour range in two models, this b
Chris Cashion and his rather special GoS Skadi - Monochrome Watches
Each member of the MONOCHROME team has their favourites among the many brands and watches we share with you all. One of the brands I have been following closely since I joined MONOCHROME is the Swedish brand Gustafsson & Sjogren, or GoS in short. The duo of Patrik Sjogren and Johan Gustafsson offers very unique watches incorporating hand-forged Damascus steel for the cases, bezels, crowns, dials and more. So when the opportunity to chat with the owner of a very special 1-of-5 GoS Skadi popped up, I just had to follow through.Just as a reminder, as we've covered the watch about a year ago, the GoS Skadi is somewhat of a direct result of the collaboration between GoS and Singer Reimagined Track 1 for OnlyWatch 2019. That specific collab piece was the first time GoS presented a watch with a case in blackened Damascus steel. The Skadi is the first GoS watch to offer a similar styled blackened Damascus steel case as the collab piece. It is combined with the
