The MB&F Legacy Machine FlyingT Tigers Eye (Price)
The launch of the Legacy Machine FlyingT in 2019 was something of a space oddity in the brand's trajectory, marking the first MB&F watch designed for women. True to Max Busser's mission of creating complex kinetic timepieces, the ladies' LM FlyingT features a flying tourbillon rising dramatically above the dial plate, an intriguing dial perched at an angle and a prominent sapphire crystal dome. Enthusiastically received by women (and men too) and awarded the Ladies' Complication prize at the 2019 edition of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve, MB&F launches another version of the Legacy Machine FlyingT this time with a beguiling Tiger's Eye plate and dial in an 18k yellow gold case set with diamonds.Flight Path of the FlyingTAs a member of the Legacy Machine family, the Legacy Machine FlyingT is very much an LM child with its pronounced domed sapphire crystal (20mm high) and cinematic tourbillon rising from a hole in the centre of the dial. Instead of the suspended balance wh

Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary // Review
Whenever Omega releases a new limited/special edition Speedmaster, you can be sure it will create noise in the collecting community. And if this watch is related to Space exploration or one of the Apollo missions, this will only increase the interest of the aficionados – and rightfully so, since Omega still owns true legitimacy in this context and the Speedy is, without a doubt, one of the most emblematic watches ever. And if this new model bears a Snoopy, well, expect great enthusiasm from the crowd. A couple of weeks ago, Omega did just that, by presenting the Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. And today, we have it on the wrist and we tell you all about it.Today, we’ll focus on the watch only. If you’re still wondering what Snoopy is doing on the dial of a chronograph watch, we have you covered with an in-depth article explaining all about the Apollo 13 mission, the incident (“Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here“),
2019 Seiko 5 Sports Watches - Full Review, Specs & Price

But not because of what was arriving per se, but because of what was departing. Let's take a look at what generated this hot topic of debate, the relaunched Seiko 5 Sports Watches 2019 Collection.
Hands-On 2022 TAG Heuer Monaco Special Edition Black DLC Titanium
When it comes to TAG Heuer, it hardly gets more emblematic than the square-shaped Monaco. Part of the various watches dedicated to motorsport, alongside the Carrera, the Silverstone and the Monza, the Monaco has gained immense popularity after being worn in the 1971 movie Le Mans on the wrist of Steve McQueen. And the name of the watch itself, paying tribute to the world's most glamorous F1 race, might have helped this model to become a legend. And since this weekend marks the return of GP in the streets of the Principality for the 2022 F1 season, it was the perfect time for the brand to release its latest special edition, the TAG Heuer Monaco Black Titanium.Born in 1969, the Monaco has immediately been equipped with one of the most innovative movements of its time, the Calibre 11, one of the three first automatic chronograph calibres. Then, there was its design… bold, different, daring and truly polarizing. If this helped make this watch unique and immediately recognizable, it m
