Pre SIHH 2012 - Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometrea Quantieme Lunaire 40.5 - Monochrome Watches
In 2010 Jaege-LeCoultre introduced the Duometre?¨¤ Quantieme Luniare, which became immediately populair amongst watch fans and it was even chosen as Timezone Watch of the Year 2010. Now Jaeger-LeCoultre releases a new version… It’s called the Duometrea Quanteme Luniare 40.5. From its name (and specifications) we can conclude it now comes in a more elegant size. The previous model was 42 mm in diameter and?the new one is 40.5 mm. Is Jaeger-LeCoultre setting the trend for down-sizing? And what more did they change on this new Duometre? Ad - Scroll to continue with article First and foremost I think it’s good to take note that JLC already started with down-sizing with 2011 novelties?like the Master Geographic and the Master Ultra Thin (MUT) Moon. Many watch fans, aficionados and collectors have been longing for the moment the trend of ‘big, b
Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Meca-10 // Introducing, Specs & Price
Hublot is certainly most known for its luxury sports watches with shaped cases, fusion of material and integrated straps. There is, however, another collection at Hublot that we somehow tend to overlook, a collection of shaped watches, with a barrel-like case, the Spirit Of Big Bang. Part of the 2020 novelties presented in Dubai, Hublot introduced its 10-day power reserve movement in this collection with the Spirit Of Big Bang Meca-10.This combination is a first for Hublot. Indeed, for the first time the Spirit Of Big Bang,?a collection that is gaining importance at Hublot, is receiving the popular Meca-10 manufacture calibre. Why only now…? Well, since the Spirit Of Big Bang has a shaped case, encasing the Meca-10 movement required some important adaptations on the movement to make it shaped just like the case of this watch. Behind this watch lies the wish of Hublot to have harmony between cases and movements, meaning that the mechanics should follo
Monochrome's 10th Anniversary Raffles - A Letter from the Editor - Monochrome Watches
It’s strange for me to realise it has been 10 years since I installed the database and other files necessary for a WordPress blog on my own domain. And it has also been 10 years since I posted the first words on Monochrome. What started as a personal blog to keep friends and family up to date of what kept me busy, soon evolved into lyrical musings about beautiful timepieces. And subsequently this hobby turned into a hobby-out-of-control, and some three years ago into my full time job. And now it’s time for celebrations!Earlier this year we had two raffles, the first for ten Meistersinger desk clocks, which ended early February, and the second for a beautiful Ophion wristwatch that ended in the first week of Baselworld. All ten clocks and the Ophion watch were shipped as soon as we returned, after Baselworld, to the Monochrome headquarters. Last week we got notice that the Meistersinger clocks and the Ophion watch arrived with the new owners. Ad - Scroll to contin
Hands-on with the Richard Mille RM 67-01 Automatic Extra Flat (Live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome Watches
Watches made by Richard Mille are usually bold, extremely technical, rather large and not really?discreet. Nothing wrong in that… That’s also part of the pleasure. Except a few watches, like the RM 033 we reviewed a few weeks ago, we can’t really add the word elegant and dress next to Richard Mille watches. And this is especially the case?when it comes to tonneau-shaped watches, a style that made the brand so easily recognizable. For the SIHH 2016, the brand decided to change that, with the ?Richard Mille RM 67-01 Automatic, their first Extra-Flat and elegant watch with the iconic RM shape. Will it meet?our expectations? Let’s find out.When we first talked?about the?Richard Mille RM 67-01, in our pre-SIHH 2016 article, we?were?rather impressed and pleased. Then again, we have nothing against the sporty and large watches of the brand, like the RM11-01 Chronograph or the?RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Limited Edition, mainly because, their size apart, these watches (and the
