Our guest contributor Angus shares his views on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Forged Carbon that was released earlier this year.

I may appear somewhat biased but most parents will forgive the rose-tinted adoration of my handsome heir. On a recent holiday my son broke the news that he longer wished to pursue his chosen sport of rowing but return to the perilous game of rugby. He explained he missed the camaraderie of being in a large team.

Watches and Formula 1 - Episode 4 - TAG Heuer & Red Bull
Let's be honest, this past season of Formula 1 was not the most exciting between the usual suspects up front, just like the last three seasons have basically seen one team dominate the whole year. The battle within that team however was particularly exciting, right down to the final meters of the final lap of the final race. Amidst all that internal drama however a few teams and driver's still managed to steal the absolute show! The talk of the town and the team and driver on everyone's mind: Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen! This young Dutchman surprised everyone by pulling off a seemingly impossible achievement; becoming the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner. Along with his teammate, he was the only driver outside of Mercedes this season to clinch a victory, doing things on the track that no one has ever seen before!

Introduced first with a?conservative white?enamel dial, the?Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon comes back now with a superb blue dial, both engraved and enameled.The first edition of the?Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon?was quite surprising, as besides its superlative technical complexity, it was also a very traditional watch, with a simple round case, a calibre?finished and designed to look like a pocket watch movement and a white enamel dial contrasting with blued hands. Somehow, the definition?of an antique watch, right. For this end of 2015, the brand offers new variations to this innovative piece, new editions inspired by
