Introducing: The Full-Gold AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin
We’ve talked about the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin on multiple occasions already, and for obvious reasons. When first presented as a prototype watch named RD#2, it was the world’s thinnest perpetual calendar wristwatch, with an impressive 6.2mm thickness. Despite Bulgari re-gaining the title a year later, this Audemars Piguet remains truly impressive and is now offered in an appealing titanium edition with a smoky-blue dial. But a new limited edition of this watch (26586BA) has just been presented and it is a polarizing one, in a full gold attire and available exclusively in Greater China.?Technically speaking, this new limited edition of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin retains the same specifications as previous titanium/platinum or full-titanium editions – the weight of the watch will be, of course, completely different. As such, we’re talking about a classic RO design with its signature octagonal bezel and 8 white gold studs, yet with

Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia (Specs & Price)
What an unexpected but refreshing surprise… Clearly, dress watches are not Omega’s specialty – chronographs and dive watches are. In terms of elegant and dress timepieces, the brand’s offer usually comes up short. However, Omega has decided to prove us wrong, with an extremely elegant, perfectly proportioned and true-to-the-past watch, the new?Seamaster Edizione Venezia,?to be sold exclusively in Venice, Italy – a perfect?excuse to bring your “bella?ragazza” for a visit to the floating city.A bit of history first… As most of you might know, the Omega Seamaster collection is defined by its emblem, the Seahorse. Since 1957, the logo has been engraved on the back of most of the Seamaster watches. However, few might know the origin of this logo and why Omega decided to use it.?On a visit to the city of Venice, a member of Omega’s?design department was struck by the famous gondolas and the beautifully sculpted representations of Neptune'

Vacheron Constantin Historique American 1921 - driver's watch - Monochrome Watches
Vacheron Constantin released a re-issue of a 1920’s watch at SIHH 2009. The Historique American 1921 is probably one of the most beautiful watches Vacheron Constantin ever made, but it also has something weird…In 1919 Vacheron Constantin made a watch in a cushion shape case with a crown placed at the upper left corner, at the 11 ‘o clock position. Usually the crown is at right side of the case mostly at the 3 ‘o clock position, sometimes at the 4 ‘o clock position. Some watches even place the crown at the left side, at the 9 ‘o clock position. The crown position Vacheron Constantin has chosen is very remarkable. I believe this was a so called driver’s watch.Due to the crown position and the use of a conventional movement from a pocket watch, the dial is turned slightly so the 12 ‘o clock position is where the crown is, at the upper left corner. If the watch was worn on the right wrist, it was possible to read time while keeping your hands
