SIHH 2015 - Vacheron Constantin Harmony Ultra-Thin Grande Complication Chronograph Caliber 3500 - Hands-on with exclusive live photos - Monochrome-Watches
Recently, we brought?you Vacheron Constantin’s main novelty, an entirely new collection named Harmony, recognizable by its vintage elements, its cushion-shaped case and its truly appealing look. We knew only from seeing the press photos and the specification sheets that these watches were highly interesting and technically advanced. It’s time for us now to confirm these feelings after having worn one of them – and not the worst – as we are now going?hands-on with the most complicated timepiece of the collection, the?Vacheron Constantin Harmony Ultra-Thin Grande Complication Chronograph Caliber 3500.With all due respect due to Vacheron Constantin and its talented manufacturing, it can?not be seen as the most productive of the brands. It is a conservative, traditional watchmaker with a collection of very restrained, discreet watches. However, the quality of these watches is clearly one of the best of Switzerland, with extremely nice finishings and impressive compl
IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph Spitfire Steel 41mm IW387901 - SIHH 2019 (Specs & Price)
As part of its pre-SIHH 2019 novelties, IWC presented a pilot’s chronograph –?the?Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire Bronze?– with plenty of reasons to love. “Vintaged”, smaller than the previous Pilot’s Chrono, equipped with a new manufacture movement and with a cool green dial and bronze case combination, it made quite an impression on us. However, bronze isn’t for everyone… And the good thing is that the SIHH 2019 brings this same watch in a more classical material. Meet the?IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire 41mm Steel IW387901.?IWC started working on the Pilot’s Chronograph earlier this year, with?the?Pilot's Watch Chronograph IW377724, a slightly vintage-inspired piece reintroducing some of the design elements found on the Mark XI and the 1990s ref. 3706 - the simple Flieger Chronograph, without the rattrapante function. Basically, this watch was the modern iteration of the model that relaunched pilot's watches at IWC. Yet
Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Chronograph - Specs and Price - Monochrome-Watches
Bell & Ross fighting against Audemars-Piguet and Hublot? That’s exactly what Carlos Rosillo, one of the two founders of the brand, wants to achieve. While Bell & Ross was used to produce multiple editions of a same concept for years (countless versions of the BR-01), they are now coming with more complicated watches, with quite a strong design. After the B-Rocket presented in Baselworld 2014 (that we’ll review soon), the french brand introduces a limited edition with the ambition to fight in the heavyweight class, the?Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Chronograph.The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Chronograph may represent the exact opposite of Hautlence with the Invictus Morphos in terms of marketing and strategy – remember that this timepiece will be Hautlence’s entry level – the technical specifications are however quite similar. Bell & Ross with its latest collection is raising standards to a complete other level. First, the design is stronger

SIHH 2016: Introducing the Montblanc 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim and three 110th Anniversary Limited Editions - Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
This year Montblanc celebrates the 110th anniversary of the Maison, and they have worked on something rather exceptional to highlight this year. To understand the gravity of this we have to look at last year’s novelty, the Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph. It featured the very clever and patented ExoTourbillon that used to be exclusive for the ultra high-end Villeret 1858 collection, and finally found its way into the rest of the collection. To celebrate the 110th anniversary, Montblanc developed a robust dress watch that features this magnificent ExoTourbillon, and it is immediately the most affordable tourbillon watch on the market. On top of that there are three additional iterations with hand-painted dial. Let’s have a look at?three limited editions and one non-limited edition of the new Montblanc 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim.?All in all it’s going to be a big year from Montblanc and the best way to celebrate an anniversary is to introdu
