Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-thin ref. 2000V with Calibre 1120 - Live Photos, Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
Renewing an icon is not an easy?task?(not an easy task at all!) However, as iconic as it is, the?Vacheron Constantin Overseas has been in the collection, with an?unchanged design, for the past 12 years. The Overseas?had its last update?in?2004, and the only alterations have been cosmetic, meaning new dial colours, and adding some complications. Until now, the Overseas collection didn’t comprise a true heir to the Overseas ancestor, the Vacheron Constantin 222, which was the brand’s luxury sports watch back in the 1970’s. In other words, there was no Overseas Ultra-Thin. And that’s remarkable since the Overseas plays in a special category, the Holy Trinity of luxury sports watches (the AP Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Vacheron Constantin Overseas.) Now, for the very first time, there will be an ultra-thin Overseas?and it comes with the same (base)movement, dubbed calibre 1120, as used by the other two Holy Trinity of luxury sports watches. An exiting
Baltic Aquascaphe Diver / Value Proposition Review (Specs & Price)
After successfully funding its first collection via Kickstarter, Baltic Watches has managed to stand the test of time and to survive this inaugural series of watches. Even better, the small concept became a brand and has started to expand its collection – and there are many more watches to come (but we can’t tell you yet…) Today, we look at what Etienne Malec has created as his second model, a great-looking, still accessible, no-nonsense tool dive watch with vintage inspiration; the Baltic Aquascaphe Diver.ConceptBaltic Watches is the brainchild of Etienne Malec, a young Frenchman who has inherited his father's passion for watches – something he shared with us already, some years ago. An avid collector, his father spent years putting together a collection of exceptional timepieces, some of which have inspired the designs of Baltic's first two models. Sadly though, Etienne's father passed away when Etienne was still quite young and so they were never able to trul
Glashutte Original Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition - Monochrome Watches
Glashutte Original released the?Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition, earlier this year. I would have expect a skeletonized version of an existing model, but no… Glashutte-Original?choose for?a skeletonized version of the 1845 Classic Up/Down with Moon Phase, originally introduced more than ten years ago. The skeletonizing and engraving is very much different from the Piece Unique that Kees Engelbarts recently showed us. Both in design and in the amount of work/time invested. This new Glashutte-Original is limited to 100 numbered pieces and is thus available for 99 more new owners, then?the unique pieces by Kees Engelbarts or Grieb?& Benzinger.

With the Duometre, Jaeger set out to tackle?recurring issue, well known in watchmaking: any complication added to a movement (anything that is not displaying the hours, minutes or seconds) naturally uses up some of the power provided by the barrel. This energy consumption disrupts the constant supply that
