Admit it, most of us (if not ALL of us) have dreamt about it at one point; building your own watch. Whether it's our very own watch brand, or a Piece Unique.

There is a solution though, and it goes by the name of Revolo. We take a look at what it is, and what it can do for you through our very own Monochrome Piece Unique.The Build-your-own-Watch concept isn't new, nor is it as unique as you might think (but it all depends on the execution of said concept, whether or not you should consider it!) Revolo understand this pretty well and offer a huge range of options to choose from, all available in a simple yet effective online configurator. You can really get crazy and build something that is a reflection of your personal ideas (or that might be downright ridiculous to others). Don't think about that one second though, build what Y

A mechanical watch to be worn while practicing golf? Isn’t that?something that everybody knows to be dangerous? Well, if you’re talking about usual mechanical watches, this statement is totally true. Don’t wear an automatic watch while playing golf! However, when it comes to Richard Mille, we’re not in front of usual timepieces… Not at all! As we’ve seen with Rafael Nadal or Bubba Watson, the watches of the brand can resist to almost everything, even Bubba’s mighty drive. The watch that is dedicated to him comes in a new iteration: here is the?Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson All Grey Boutique Edition.In 2014, Rafeal Nadal won Roland Garros with a ultra-light tourbillon on the wrist (the Richard Mille RM 27-01 to be precise, with its movement?weighing?3.5 grams).

Oris Chronoris Limited Edition - Monochrome Watches
Renowned for its technical, modern and robust-looking watches, Oris started to introduce some vintage-inspired designs in its collections a few years ago, notably with the Divers Sixty Five collection. While the pilot’s watches hark back to the 1940s and the diving pieces play on the 1960s trend, the motorsport collection?recreates the spirit of another era, the 1970s.

Today, the brand releases a fresh, cool new model, the?Oris Chronoris Limited Edition.At the beginning of the 1970s, Oris launched its first chronograph – surprisingly late for a brand founded in 1904. Completely “en vogue” at that time, this watch came with a typical seventies “pilot’s” or “helmet” case, basically an ovoid-shaped case with integrated lugs. It was also the first watch of the brand to be dedicated to the world of motorsport, and for this r
