A One-on-one Interview with an American Hero: Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger - Monochrome Watches
Heroes are giants – gods among us mere mortals. Heroes are larger-than-life figures who occupy the stratosphere, enjoying the view from mount Olympus as the twenty-four hour news channels immortalize them. In making their feats appear effortless, they gain our admiration, nay our devotion, and sometimes in feats of mythic proportion, our worship. Aviators have ascended this pedestal, and to the annals, which include such names as Charles Lindbergh (see here), we can add Captain Sully and include him in the pantheon of heroes. JEANRICHARD, however, would correct our hero misconceptions with their interpretation of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In this regard, Captain Sully is a perfect match for the brand.If the name Sully doesn’t immediately jog your memory, let me share the mental image of an airplane floating in the Hudson river with the aircraft intact and no casualties. From those images, the world learned that Captain Sullenberger piloted his disabled cra
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Ceramic-and-Titanium 210.92.44.20.01.001 (Specs & Price)
Last year, Omega took a deep breath and plunged into one of its most iconic collections, the Seamaster Diver 300M – a 25-year-old icon, worn by none other than 007 himself (hence its nickname, the “James Bond Watch“) positioned as the entry-level watch to Omega’s divers. The 2018 model was an instant hit, which offered great value for the money and superb mechanics/construction. As a preview of the 2019 collection, Omega introduces a stealth version in black ceramic and titanium – but be sure to read the rest of the article, as it has more than just new materials to show.This new?Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Ceramic-and-Titanium appears, at first, just a new combination of materials – both dear to the brand, which has been playing with ceramic a lot these past few years (think Speedy DSOTM or Seamaster PO Deep Black). Thus, indeed, the new SM300 is bringing a new dark style and some materials that we haven’t seen before on this model. This would
Oris Aquis GMT Whale Shark Limited Edition - Introducing, Price
Whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean that can measure the length of a school bus, were classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2016. Illegal fishing, collisions with boats and entrapment in fishing gear are decimating the population of whale sharks. Despite their enormous dimensions, whale sharks are docile plankton-eating creatures that pose no threat to man. Conversely, man is the biggest threat to whale sharks. To raise awareness of their plight and promote a wider understanding of this fascinating creature, Oris releases a special 43.5mm Aquis GMT Date model with a dial that evokes the spotted backs of the whale shark.For the past decade, Oris has joined the bandwagon of environmental conservation. Grouped under its “Change for the Better” programme, initiatives from restoring, cleaning and protecting the oceans are promoted with the release of dedicated limited editions. These initiatives range from re

The ochs und Junior luna sole, a recent addition to the collection, is a testament to the brand's commitment to a minimalist style and the simplification of astronomical indications. This new watch elegantly combines timekeeping with date, sun, moon phase, and the moon’s position in relation to the earth and sun, offering an intriguing experience.The luna sole belongs to the ochs line collection, so it is non-customisable and is presented with two dial options – sand-blasted anthracite or white rhodium with subtle rose gold accents. Designed by Ludwig Oechslin, the 40mm round case maintains a familiar shape with its short lugs, crafted from grade 5 titanium, left untouched after milling and machining. It features a two-part construction, a screw-down crown, and boasts 100m water resistance. Remarkably slim at just 9mm, including the sapphire crystal, the watch is exceptio
