Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202XT Jumbo Only Watch 2021
Once again this year, the watch industry reveals its best side as more than 50 brands participate in the great Only Watch charity event. Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and at the initiative of Luc Pettavino, this year is the 9th edition of the biennial charity auction, whose aim is to raise funds for research against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A recurring participant of the event, Audemars Piguet presents a watch this year that will certainly make some noise, as we’re talking about an unprecedented take on its star watch, as well as the last unique 15202 powered by the Calibre 2121, which will retire at the end of the year. Made of titanium and a new palladium-based alloy, meet the unique Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202XT Jumbo For Only Watch 2021.?If the specifications and the overall look are familiar – this watch is based on Royal Oak Extra-Thin Jumbo 15202, after all – there are many features on this specific edition to make it truly unique.

Introducing the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Autumn, with a new 5N red gold dial (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Saying that the?Laurent Ferrier Galet Square was?welcomed and?that it is a superb achievement is kind of an understatement. This watch is simply superb. When launched, it was the entry-level proposition of the brand, with a (slightly) sportier look, a stainless steel case, a more?reasonable?price but still with the same true elegance and a perfectly finished, innovative movement. As we’re now in the middle of October, Laurent Ferrier has just decided to add a new iteration to the collection (that you can see in the flesh here) with a brushed red gold dial. Here is the?Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Autumn.Until now, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square was only available in 2 main editions, with a stainless steel case. The first one was a classic from the small independent manufacture, with a vertically brushed blue dial and usual indexes. The other one was a sort of cleaned edition, with a more vintage feeling, due to a warm silver / light gold dial, a natural leather strap and a very

The Design Argument - Why Giuliano Mazzuoli Still Stands out From the Crowd? - Monochrome Watches
As Bernie Ecclestone already taught us with his infamous black-eyed Hublot-advertisements, owning very desirable watches does come with some risks. Giuliano Mazzuoli knows that better than anyone else. UnfortunatelyFrom a robbery to Crowe's and Sheeran's wristsWhen Giuliano Mazzuoli entered his workshops on the early morning on Sunday, May 12, the Italian watchmaker encountered a nightmare. I noticed that strangely a door was open, Mazzuoli writes. Inside everything seemed in order, but there was a kind of rod on the floor that was about three or four meters long made of strips of plastic that were joined together with adhesive tape that drew my attention. I didn't know who could have made this and what it was supposed to be for. The rod wasn't too far from the entry door to the room where the safe is located which was closed but the alarm system was off.His spokesman doesn't want to go in too much detail about the robbery, but Mazzuoli goes on in telling detail. I became suspicious. I

REVIEW: Oris Artelier Calibre 112 - Monochrome Watches
Although it was launched at Baselworld 2016, we took some time to finally get hands on with the Oris Artelier Calibre 112. One of the reasons was that we had to reflect on the watch, its mechanics and how to position it. Its rather clean, classic, certainly not too small and manly design, is something it shares with a well-known Swiss brand that used to pride itself on these characteristics. Add to that the?10-day power reserve of the Oris and the resemblance only becomes more obvious. One way or another, Oris is delivering a magnificent package for the price, and should certainly be considered if you’re looking for a nice, fly-under-the-radar, powerful watch.?So, without any further delay, please enjoy our review of the Oris Artelier Calibre 112.?Some brief historyIn 2014, entry-level watch brand, Oris, did something completely unexpected. To celebrate the brand's 110th anniversary, the company launched its very own, in-house developed movement: Calibre 110. This was a momentous
