Pre-SIHH 2015: Piaget Altiplano Chronograph Flyback - a new record setter (specs and price) - Monochrome-Watches
If we had to?categorize Piaget into a single subject, it would be for its ultra-slim watches. The brand is indeed not only good at it, it is the unbeatable leader. The?Altiplano has always been the preferred field for Piaget to set thickness records (well, an?absence of thickness to be precise). Last year, the brand came up with the?slimmest of the?slim watches. For the 2015 edition of the SIHH, Piaget?surprises us with a another record: the slimmest chronograph?ever produced, the?Piaget Altiplano Chronograph Flyback. And its?thinness is not its only interesting feature.One single data can sum-up Piaget’s?indisputable?hegemony: 3.65mm. Yes, that’s the thickness of a sapphire crystal, a case, a dial, a set of hands, a movement and a caseback. The Piaget Altiplano 900P is truly impressive. Until?now, Piaget has?accustomed us to slim but simple watches: time-only, small second or date were the only indications displayed on the Altiplano’s dials, which of course remains e
Zenith Defy Classic - Baselworld 2018 (Specs & Price)
In 2017, Zenith relaunched the DEFY collection and impressed us with the?Defy El Primero 21, a?hundredth-of-a-second chronograph with a 50Hz?ultra-high-beat escapement dedicated only to the chrono. But that was not all. Later that year came the Defy LAB with its revolutionary and unprecedented oscillator – marking a real innovation. And finally, there was the new design, with an integrated case and bracelet, a large diameter and bold shapes. For Baselworld 2018, the design is kept but with more simplicity movement-wise – but not that simple either. Meet the?Zenith Defy Classic.The Zenith Defy collection represents modernity and innovation. It can be seen in the materials, in the technical solutions, and in the design. The Defy is bolder, yet it also remains true to some of the brand’s signature codes. It is the laboratory for innovative solutions – and remember that Zenith has always been an innovator, as the El Primero was not only one of the very first automat
The Archimedes by Milus, Now in Wild Green (Specs & Price)
The fluid-tight “compressor” or “super-compressor” technology was patented during the 1950s, by Ervin Piquerez SA, a famous watch case manufacturer from Bassecourt in the Swiss Jura. Cases equipped with this technology have given birth to iconic dive watches across many brands, including Jaeger-LeCoultre, Hamilton, Longines, or Bulova. The most famous “compressor” EPSA cases had a dual-crown style, one to wind the movement and set the time (and the date, if any), the other to operate the internal rotating bezel. This distinctive look remains highly popular with dive watch aficionados. Among the watches with such design is the Archimedes by Milus, a modern take on one of the brand's 1960s divers. The model is now presented in a cool green hue.One of the original Milus Archimedes that inspired the modern versionNamed upon the ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and inventor, famous for his principle applying on a body immersed in a fluid, the Archim
