The 3 Best Watches of the LVMH Watch Week // Buying Guide
Earlier this week, French luxury powerhouse LVMH staged its first Watch Week in Dubai to showcase the novelties of its four brands, Bvlgari, Hublot, Zenith and TAG Heuer (even though the latter had no new watches on display), which we’ve covered on MONOCHROME. But to end this rather intense week, let’s take a look at the three best watches that were introduced at the LVMH Watch Week in Dubai – at least, in our opinion.Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Satin-Polished in SteelAs you know, we love the Octo Finissimo at MONOCHROME. It’s bold, modern, refined, complex in shape and it features a fascinating ultra-thin movement – Calibre BVL138 with micro-rotor –? just 2.23mm thick, making it a contender for the thinnest time-only watch on the market today. For the LVMH Watch Week, Bvlgari brings a new version of its highly acclaimed watch in steel… Well, you could argue that this watch already existed.? True, but the new version gets rid of the sandbl

Chopard Mille Miglia 2019 Race Edition - Monochrome Watches
Chopard has been the partner and official timekeeper of the popular Mille Miglia open-road endurance race for over 30 years now. Throughout that time, it has become something of a tradition for the brand to release a new model for the race each year. This year is no exception, and the Chopard Mille Miglia 2019 Race Edition makes its unofficial debut this morning ahead of an official release at Baselworld. We've got all the details you need, including availability and pricing, so keep on reading.The Mille Miglia is a classic car race in Italy, with more than 400 historic cars taking part each year. It's a four-stage rally driven from Brescia to Rome and back, and it's a damn classy affair. But it's also a serious race. Drivers don't partake in the Mille Miglia simply because they want to cruise through the Tuscan countryside (although that is a nice added bonus). They take part because they want to win, and they want to do it in style. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

The New Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo Is Possible The Best Boulevard-Cruiser Ever
As the days gradually get longer, and the sun radiates us with its comforting warmth, the season of going for a leisurely cruise in your car or on your motorbike is finally here again. Done are the days of simply commuting to and from work, and here is the time of taking out your special baby over the weekend, just to put some miles on the odometer. And if you happen to be in the market for a new weekend cruiser, here’s a pro tip for you; the all-new Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo.Going through Maserati’s road and racing car archives and pinpointing its single best creation is simply put impossible. To me, some of its most glorious racing machines are the Tipo 61 ‘Birdcage’ and the Maserati 250F. When looking at road cars, I have always admired the Maserati 450S Costin Zagato Coupe, quite the rarity but gorgeous nonetheless. Even today, in a world of bland SUVs and EVs, a Maserati stands out for its alluring Italian design, and its latest one is no exception.

Anonimo Militare Vintage - Pre-Baselworld 2017 (Specs & Price)
Pre-Baselworld 2017 – Anonimo goes back to its roots to better reinvent itself. To start the celebration of its 20th anniversary this year, the brand reissues the Vintage model of its Militare line: same features, same aesthetics enhanced with a hint of modernity and that unique Italian je-ne-sais-quoi…Anonimo was founded in 1997 in Florence after the Vendome Luxury Group, now Richemont, bought Panerai. As Panerai moved to Switzerland, some of its (ex)employees, among whom the military engineer Dino Zei, joined Anonimo to create a collection of sturdy watches, inspired by distinctive Italian design, with a focus on dive watches. The idea of Anonimo's founders, in particular Federico Massacesi, was that the product, with distinctive functional design, should always come before the brand itself. For this reason, the brand didn't appear on the dial for a long time. The choice of the name Anonimo, the Italian word for anonymous, was directly derived from this concept. The brand

Porsche Goes Full-Electric on Road, on Track... and on Track with a Road Car - Monochrome Watches
Your weekly dosage of electricity-infused car news is up… That’s how we will probably start our automotive-related articles in a decade from now! For guys of passion like us, here at MONOCHROME, the topic of electric cars is still quite far from our usual standards of petrol-loaded dreams. Passion is what makes us love cars and watches. Passion is our own fuel, and fuel is what powers our passion. But enough digressions, today’s topic is about Porsche and how the Stuttgart-based brand is trying (hard) to keep up with the reality of emissions and eco-friendly behaviour and to integrate what Porsche has been for now over 60 years: a thing of passion. And you’ll see, they are not only trying but making it real.On the Road – Porsche TaycanHeretic, scandalous, irrelevant… We’ve heard those words from hardcore Porsche fans more than once. They did it in 1996 when the brand introduced its entry-level Boxster. They did it in 1997 when Porsche stopped t
