Making something highly complicated looking as simple as possible is certainly harder than anything else. When looking at the?H. Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Black Edition for the first time, you’ll probably never notice how complex is the movement inside. To resume, putting aside the inherent beauty of this watch, the main strength of the Moser QP is to keep a display extremely simple and practical, together with a superb and innovative movement. Here is the reason why we wanted to have the?H. Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar on the wrist.FeaturesDon’t be fooled by the quite simple display of the?H. Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Black Edition. What you may see at first sight is a watch displaying the time, with a date aperture at 3, a small-second at 6 and a power reserve at 9. Yes, it is (in a sense) true. But a closer look at the central axis may give?you some clues: one little arrow (pointing 9 on our photos). Here is the magic
Interview: Production, Future Generations and Sustainability... Talking to Karl-Friedrich Scheufele of Chopard
The roots of Chopard trace back to 1860 when Louis Ulysse Chopard founded his company in Sonvilier, Switzerland. The Scheufele family took over the company in the 1960s. Under their stewardship, Chopard experienced a renaissance and evolved from a traditional watchmaking company into a globally renowned luxury brand. Chopard is a vertically integrated, family-owned company, hence with the entrepreneurial latitude to drive its development with a long-term perspective. As the 2024 edition of Watches and Wonders Geneva is fast approaching, we had the opportunity to sit down with Chopard's Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele to discuss all things Chopard.Xavier Markl, MONOCHROME – Mr. Scheufele thanks for having us.

Patrick Dempsey on Watches, the TAG Heuer Monaco and the man who did it all, Jack Heuer - Monochrome Watches
During the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco, last weekend, we sat down with TAG Heuer’s CEO, and managed to steal fifteen minutes from actor, race driver and TAG Heuer ambassador Patrick Dempsey. All I really knew about Patrick was his role as Dr Derek Shepherd in the TV series Grey’s Anatomy, and as ‘an actor who loves racing’. Now I also know he’s a great guy with an intense passion for racing and TAG Heuer watches – and for owning a very nice 1972 Heuer Monaco.?Patrick has spent quite a bit of time with the legendary Jack Heuer, learning about the era when Jack was at the helm of Heuer. I’m sure he has a few more stories up his sleeve, but in this short video, Patrick recalls some interesting stories about how Jack managed the sponsorship with some of the race drivers. And best of all, he bought a vintage Monaco from 1972 when he was on his way to race in the WEC and Supercup races at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, in Belgium.Patrick Dempsey’s

Earlier this year, during the SIHH 2019, Jaeger-LeCoultre released a triple round of its iconic Reverso. A Reverso Tribute Small Seconds with a superb Burgundy dial and two editions of the Reverso Tribute Duoface join the timeless Reverso family. Like their 1931 ancestor, all three manifestations of the Reverso come with manual-winding movements but flaunt Casa Fagliano leather straps. Let’s have a closer look at these three (beautiful) additions to the collection.A utilitarian solution harbours an iconThe Reverso was LeCoultre’s ingenious response to a request from British colonial army officers stationed in India. As keen polo players, they were constantly smashing the glass on their watches and jeopardizing the mechanism of their wristwatches during the brutal matches. In 1931, LeCoultre patented its reversible watch (it wasn't until 1937 that Jaeger merged to become Jaeger-LeCoultre). A triumph of Art Deco restraint and sleek geometric glamour, the Reverso was launched
