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 ??

David Candaux 1740 "The First 8" - The heart and soul of the Vallee de Joux - Monochrome Watches
Welcome in the heart and soul of independent watchmaking from the Vallee de Joux, yet with a modern eye A few weeks ago, we met with one of the most interesting surprises from Baselworld 2017, the 1740 The first 8 - and of course with its creator, David Candaux. See what hand-made and creative watchmaking mean!The name David Candaux could potentially sound familiar to some of you, as he has been the behind-the-scene architect of some spectacular developments, for several prominent brands. He worked several years for Jaeger-LeCoultre and then, he started a new career as an independent movement designer. In this role he was involved in several watch developments, however always anonymous and behind the scenes. When he was a child, David was thinking that he would become an accomplished watchmaker only once he would design and make his own timepieces, by his hands. This time has come and, to say the least, David is a very talented watchmaker.? Ad - Scroll to continue with artic
Hands On With The L.U.C Time Traveler One, Chopards First Worldtimer - Monochrome Watches
This week in London, auction house Philips played host to a special exhibition commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the creation of Chopard's first in-house movement; the calibre L.U.C 1.96. It was also the perfect setting for the introduction of two new series into Chopard's L.U.C family; the L.U.C GMT One and the L.U.C Time Traveler One. Today we're taking a closer look at the latter.For as long as I can remember I've loved travelling. Experiencing new places, meeting new people, trying new foods, I can't get enough of it. So I try and travel as often as I can. I'm no member of the jet-set mind you but I get around. There's just something about waking up in a different time zone that gets my motor running.?Fortunately these days travelling is a lot easier than it used to be, although my recent experience at Santorini airport might suggest otherwise but I digress. Just about the last thing most people worry about is getting on the right time-zone when you arrive at your destination.
