The best watches of 2010 - Monochrome Watches
Now the year has almost come to an end it’s time to look back and to see which watches made the best impression. So here is Monochrome’s selection of Best Watches of the Year 2010. Like every year, there where many new watches. Some expected for a long time, some unexpected and a total surprise. But the question is which one made a lasting impression? Some have only been released on the drawing board, but are not completely ready yet. These watches, although some are really impressive, won’t count for this years election.Because watches come in all price ranges I can’t compare a $500,000 watch with a $1,500 watch. So there will be a few categories, based on price. The first category is without any limits, the second category is up to $200,000 , the third category is up to $15,000 and the fourth and last category is below $5,000.?The only verdict is my personal opinion ??

Introducing Ulysse Nardin Ocean Race Diver Chronograph Limited
The provenance of Ulysse Nardin might be a small, landlocked country, but thanks to its marine chronometers, the brand from Le Locle has always been closely associated with the sea since 1846. By the 1870s, Ulysse Nardin supplied more than 50 navies and merchant marine companies with precision marine deck chronometers. Today, the brand underscores its maritime credentials as the official timing partner of the exciting Ocean Race. Regarded as the longest (60,000 km) and toughest round-the-world team sailing challenge since 1973, the 14th edition of The Ocean Race kicked off in Alicante, Spain, in January 2023. Docking in nine cities around the globe over six months and finishing in Genoa in June, the teams have embarked on their fifth leg from Newport, Rhode Island, to Aarhus, Denmark. Taking advantage of the pit stop in Rhode Island and celebrating The Ocean Race’s 50th anniversary, Ulysse Nardin unveiled a 100-piece edition of its Ocean Race Diver Chronograph.The Ocean RaceOrigi

This James Morrison edition really makes it quite hard for us to keep up with all these novelties, so let's see if the Oris James Morrison AoM Limited Edition lives up to the legend it's named after.Tribute to Jazz legend James MorrisonJames Morrison is somewhat of a living legend, though his story isn't that of the typical jazz artist. Morrison wasn't from the plantations or the streets of Chicago; he was born in 1962 in a small farmer's village in the south-east of Australia. He grew in a very musically inclined family and started playing in bands before he even hit his teens. He mainly played the trumpet, but soon started experimenting with other instruments as well. By 21 he had founded a band named after himself and his brother, the Morrison Brothers Big Band. Success ensued and he began touring the world
