Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar White Ceramic 26579CB.OO.1225CB.01 (Specs & Price)
Back in 2017, Audemars Piguet showed an innovative spirit by presenting its first full ceramic watch (bracelet included), the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in black. Needless to say, this watch is one of the hottest editions in the collection, with its unique stealth look and its complex movement. Based on this concept, Audemars Piguet introduces a new version, perfect for summer, with an entire habillage made of white ceramic.?What was the deal back in 2017, with the previous black ceramic model? Well, in short, it was the first time that Audemars Piguet presented a watch entirely crafted in ceramic, case and bracelet included… You could argue that many other brands did it before, however, you have to consider that the watch used as a base was the Royal Oak with its complex shapes and surfaces. Indeed, delivering the same level of details on a ceramic case and bracelet as found on a steel Royal Oak is nothing short of an achievement. The result is visually stunnin
Time flows by. With the HYT H1 - Monochrome Watches
Generally, fluids and watches don't mix that well. Most watch manufacturers go to great lengths to keep out stuff like water, resulting in some pretty impressive diver watches over the years.The idea of using a liquid inside a watch isn't new. Diver watches often use silicon oil to cope with the pressures under extreme conditions. Besides that, we've seen the Concord C1 Quantum Gravity which uses a fluid cell as a power reserve indicator. HYT however, took it to the next level, incorporating fluids into telling time! Ad - Scroll to continue with article The HYT brand is headed by Vincent Perriard, who in recent years was involved with aforementioned Concord, Hamilton, Technomarine and Audemars Piguet to name a few. Vincent and his crack team of hydromechanical horologists have come up with an extraordinary timepiece, dubbed the H1. The H1 was first shown to the
Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Flameante Salmon Dial - Review, Price
Cuervo y Sobrinos, the Swiss brand with Cuban roots, expands its Historiador collection with this new Flameante model with an elegant salmon dial. Like all Cuervo y Sobrinos designs, the mood is markedly retro. In the case of the Historiador Flameante collection, the inspiration is taken directly from a Cuervo y Sobrinos model produced in the 1950s. With its slim profile, distinctive lugs and hand-wound movement, the flaming' dial of the watch catches the eye immediately.Cuervo y Sobrinos is an oddity in the world of Swiss watchmaking: it is the only Swiss brand with Cuban roots. Established in Havana in 1882, the brand was revived in the late 1990s and has carved a niche with models that lean heavily on vintage design cues. In line with more contemporary tastes, the cases are larger than the original vintage pieces which inspired the collections. Most of the Historiador family watches are equipped with modern, Swiss mechanical movements. There are recreations, like the Historiador Lan
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer Green // Review
What we’re looking at today might simply be a new dial colour, but it made quite a lot of noise when we introduced it a couple of weeks ago. Multiple reactions here and on our Instagram account made us realize that a dial colour can make a hell of a difference on a watch. So today we take a closer look, with our own live photos, at the brand new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer with a green dial… And it was absolutely necessary, as the subtle (yet hard to define) colour of this dial looks far better in real life than in official images.?Emerald, olive, forest, pine, British racing, jade, army… There are dozens of shades for green. And this new Omega is beautiful, yet hard to describe, depending on the ambient light.Green isn’t the first colour you might think of for a watch dial. In addition to the all-time classics – that are black and silver/white –? blue has been widely used by brands for over 10 years (remember those “blue
