Hands-On Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Day-Date Steel (Specs & Price)
As you know, our first impressions of the 2018 launch of the Fiftysix?collection were mixed. Introduced as the brand's more casual collection, with steel options and automatic movements, and choice of complications. The Fiftysix?taps into the ongoing trend for vintage-style watches by taking inspiration from a VC model of 1956 and has lightened up the mood of the dial with contemporary and more casual touches. Touted by VC as a “modern, elegant and relaxed collection” with a “resolutely cosmopolitan style, our mission today is to determine if the model we had for our hands-on session lives up to Vacheron Constantin’s concept. The proof is in the pudding, so let's take a closer look at the Fiftysix?Day-Date steel model.?Complex Case, Elegant ProportionsLike its siblings in the current line-up? – Complete Calendar and the automatic time-and-date model (excluding the tourbillon with its 41mm case) – the case measures 40mm with a thickness of 11.6mm.

Tudor 2015 Novelties - Tudor Baselworld 2015 - The Tudor new watches we hope to see - Monochrome-Watches

We may love for its serious and highly qualitative creations, Tudor ( ’s sister company) created some interesting, affordable, very well finished and mainly, really cool watches recently – such as the Heritage Black Bay Blue, the Heritage Ranger or the Heritage Chrono. Thus, there was no reason for us not to try to predict what could be the Tudor 2015 new models, the watches that Tudor could introduce at Baselworld 2015. We did it for this year, we did it for Tudor last year, and we are doing?it again now.Last year, just like we did for and Omega, we tried to guess the watches that Tudor could introduce at the Basel watch fair. We imagined a Black Bay with a black bezel and dial and we also imagined a Pelagos with blue dial and bezel. Tudor came at Baselworld with the?Heritage Black Bay equipped with a superb midnight blue bezel insert and a cleaner dial. We had?the right colour, we had the right watc

SIHH 2015: Introducing the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time - Hands-on withLIVE Photos, Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
Montblanc keep surprising friend and foe, both with spectacular timepieces, like the ExoTourbillon that we showed you this morning, and with very useful timepieces like the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time. Last year Montblanc already surprised every one with a perpetual calendar at the price of € 10k Euro and now they present the Dual Time for below €4k Euro. Again a very competitive price for a very elegant, and very useful timepiece.In these modern times, timepieces with complications like a second time zone or even a worldtimer (like Montblanc’s new Orbis Terrarum) are among our favourites. And there’s a properly good reason for that because these complications can and WILL be used on a daily basis. The new Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time is part of the Heritage Chronometrie collection, which comprises the new ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph and two new watches with a calendar complication (an annual calendar and a complete calendar.)

Anonimo Nautilo Bronze Blue Redesigned - Baselworld 2017 Review (Specs & Price)
Anonimo is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, marking the date that Dino Zei and Federico Massacesi used the remains of the famous Florentine origins of Panerai to build a new brand following their move to Switzerland. The focus was to offer robust, nautical inspired watches with Italian design as their core. Over the years, the brand that doesn't say its name has built quite a name for itself, recently unveiling some cool new additions to the 2017 collection. Not only is there the 20th Anniversary Militare Vintage Edition, but also some new additions to the Nautilo range.The Nautilo is not new of course, as it has been in the collection since 2006. Although the design has changed over the years, the cushion shaped case and crown at 4 still remain as a nod to the original. Anonimo offers the Nautilo in a wide range of colors and strap combinations, and also in bronze of course. We reviewed the previous Nautilo Bronze back in 2015 and now show you the new variation of the dive
