SIHH 2015: A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up/Down now in Pink Gold - Monochrome-Watches
If you ask collectors which is the best ever chronograph, you’ll probably get 2 or 3 recurring answers: Daytona, Omega Speedmaster and A. Lange & Sohne Datograph. For sure, the two first watches are iconic and highly interesting. However,?when it comes to Haute Horlogerie matters and technically advanced movements, the one and only answer remaining is the Datograph. Already available in platinum, the A. Lange and Sohne Datograph Up/Down comes now in a new pink gold edition.We said new… in fact, not completely. If watches are a subject you’re following for some years now, you might be familiar with this watch.?In 2003 Lange and Sohne launched a Datograph?in pink?gold with a black dial. Of course it did not have the technical characteristics of the actual reference, the?Datograph Up/Down. Born in 1999, the Datograph was updated in 2012 with many improvements.

2021 Code 11.59 Audemars Piguet Smoked Blue Dial & White Gold
Audemars Piguet has learned a lesson or two since the launch of Code 11.59 in 2019 and repeats the success story of its 2020 models with gorgeous smoked dials. Although the smoked blue dials appeared in 2020 inside pink gold cases, this is the first time this smoked blue sunburst lacquered dial is married to a white gold case. Available in automatic time-and-date and chronograph versions with identical tech specs to former editions, the combination of white gold and intense gradient blue is gorgeous.?BackgroundAudemars Piguet has a history of provoking extreme reactions, starting with the 1972 Royal Oak, continuing with the high-testosterone 1993 Royal Oak Offshore and then in 2019, Code 11.59. However, once the dust had settled and aficionados had time to digest the novel proposal of the Royal Oak and its beefy brother, the ROO, the models would soon become some of the most coveted watches on the market. Having basically relied on the Royal Oak - and its offshoots – as its leadi

Have the playful brains at Hublot disgraced their ancestors? Will this watch of truly epic proportions' be able to restore the honor of their monastery? ?Overview of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang for Bruce Lee Chronograph.In the year 2015 it is almost impossible to OVERstate the role Bruce Lee, the San Francisco born son of a touring Hong Kong acting family has had on modern action films. In a day and age where the lion's share of what you see on screen in a movie is CGI, Lee's movies, though sometimes quaint looking by today's standards, are packed with a life's dedication to mastering King Chun and Jeet Kune Do style Kung Fu. More importantly, Lee's brief TV and movie career still serves as the archetype for the modern action hero. Hint: when you look at Keanu Reeves in the Matrix Trilogy, what you see is one huge homage to Bruce Lee. An
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. In keeping with the bold, colourful and shaped watches of the epoch, Oris reissued an iconic model: the Chronoris. 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.
