A. lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual in white gold and black dial (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
White gold and black dial: a classical combination of the watch industry, even for A. Lange & Sohne.

Now, the white gold –?black?dial combo is also available in the A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual, the perpetual calendar watch with automatic movement?of the Saxonian Manufacture.The A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual?comes with?ALS classical design, meaning a pure and refined round case polished on the top, brushed on the sides, with masculine and straight lugs. The Langematik Perpetual can easily be considered a dress-watch, with its reasonable 38.5mm x 10.2mm case, that now comes in white gold. Previously, the A.

Introducing: The Return of Gerald Genta, with the new Gentissima Oursin
Mr Gerald Genta needs no introduction anymore. One of the most famous watch designers of our time, responsible for the creation of icons such as the Royal Oak or the Nautilus, he also created watches under his own name. From 1969 on, Genta produced exceptionally complex watches (incl. an automatic tourbillon grande sonnerie, often considered one of the craziest watches of the 1990s) as well as truly unique, often disruptive designs. Under the Bulgari-LVMH umbrella since 2000, the brand and name weren’t used to their full potential. However, we’re not here to talk about the past… but about the future, as we are now able to introduce the first GG creation after LFT’s takeover, the new (and certainly far from consensus-driven) Gerald Genta Gentissima Oursin capsule collection.Already back in the 1980s and 1990s, GG’s creations were nothing short of spectacular, polarizing or disruptive. Sometimes acclaimed, applauded and copied, sometimes misunderstood or rej

IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Titanium IW381802 (Specs & Price)
Surprising changes occurred when IWC decided to revamp its iconic Ingenieur collection in 2016. For one, the robust “Genta-esque” case was abandoned and replaced with the original design of the 1960s models. Among the inaugural models were some 3-hand watches and chronographs. And on top of the range was the complex Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, combining a QP and a flyback chronograph. This watch, available until now only in gold with a white dial, now comes in a new, lighter, more casual version with a grey dial and titanium case under ref. IW381802.The new version that IWC is introducing today is nothing more than an update of colours and materials, as all the specifications and mechanical parts are identical. For this 100-piece limited run of the Titanium ref. IW381802, IWC has opted for a new colour combination, with a sunray brushed slate grey dial echoing the greyish tint of the titanium case. The apertures for the digital QP are white for greater

Hands-on: The Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B 1.618
After a career in financial technology, the Festa-Bianchet couple embarked on a new entrepreneurial project driven by their passion and desire to create their own watches. As evident from their inaugural timepiece, the B 1.618 Openwork, they have specialized in crafting ultra-modern tourbillons, with the number 1.618 serving as a reference to the golden ratio, a pivotal element influencing their designs. Their second creation, the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B 1.618, adheres to the same design language but represents an evolutionary step. A visit to the brand's new premises and atelier in La Chaux-de-Fonds provided the opportunity to get our hands on this sports tourbillon, boasting an impressive 5000-G shock resistance.As mentioned, the Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B 1.618 retains the design language of its predecessor, featuring a tonneau-shaped case and a modern, openworked tourbillon movement. However, it also introduces some noteworthy evolutions. Overall, it exudes a
