Weekly Watch Photo - the Bulli-Shot - Monochrome Watches
That I’m a huge fan of beautiful photos showing beautiful watches probably doesn’t come as a surprise anymore. Hey, that was the sole reason for starting the Weekly Watch Photo. And that was?one and a half year ago…I still find so many photos that look so good that they have to be shared. Besides cool ‘mood’ photos, like these from A.Lange & Sohne or these from IWC, I’m also a big fan of beautiful wrist shots, like the wrist shots from Simon C. Today I’d like to present you a bunch of wrist shots called Bulli-Shots! Ad - Scroll to continue with article Bulli-Shots? Yep, although there’s of course no formal name for any type of wrist shot, but I think this is the second informal type of wrist shot. The first is called the Superman-wrist-shot, famous for the hand-streched-foreward-in-the-air that looks like the p

Monochrome Shakes Its Cup For The AHCIs 30th Anniversary Fund-Raiser - Monochrome-Watches
If you know us (you're here aren't you?) you know that we have a fondness for the Academie Horlogere des?Createurs Independants (AHCI). The AHCI are the body of independent watchmakers established to preserve the tradition of watchmaking. This year they celebrate their 30th Anniversary and are raising money to sponsor their initiative to digitize key watchmaking documents and make them available to all watchmakers and hobbyists.I'm not sure about you but my Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour t-shirt resides in a box marked DO NOT TOUCH - UNDER PENTALTY OF SARCASM! That shirt is more than just a (2 sizes too small) cotton under garment - it is my claim to the band that gave us so many hits (and that stupid theme song for the launch of the OTHER popular GUI computer operating system uff). When I wear that shirt - well - when I look at that shirt, I feel great pride in knowing that Mick and Keef' probably got $0.45 of my money. Now is your chance to underwrite the Academie Horlogere des?Cre
Patek Philippe 5178G Minute Repeater Cathedral Gongs - Review with Sound (Specs & Price)
Recently, Xavier and I had the pleasure to visit Patek Philippe’s manufacture, from the case and bracelet factory to the Haute Horlogerie ateliers. It’s only once you’ve been there that you can understand that something truly special is going on, especially at the HH workshop. Patek Philippe minute repeaters, which are manufactured there, have always been known to be best-in-class. And believe me, they are. To understand why we had the rare opportunity to go hands-on with the latest addition to the collection, the?Patek Philippe 5178G – which is also the occasion to explain the concept of?Cathedral Gongs and, of course, we have the sound too.The?Patek Philippe 5178G Minute RepeaterAt first sight, the?Patek Philippe 5178G is a rather simple watch. Relatively reasonable in terms of proportions, based on a simple time-only display, showing an elegant and highly traditional case… There’s nothing to lead you to imagine that something very complex ticks in
Introducing: The 2023 Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table
While the modern side of Roger Dubuis is unmistakably all about bold high horology (what the brand names Hyper Horology), there’s one collection that might even make a greater impact with watches infused with Medieval mythology and, in particular, by the legendary knights of the fellowship of King Arthur. Ever since the first Knights of the Round Table timepiece was unveiled in 2013, this theme has been central to Roger Dubuis, which today unveils the latest version of this distinctive watch.?Anti-conformist, bold, unique in this field of horology… The whole concept behind the Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table collection is certainly powerful. Not a ‘consensual’ watch by any stretch of the imagination. With the latest version that’s just been presented, the brand is again demonstrating its capacity to combine strong design cues and impressive craftsmanship. Despite a design that won’t be unanimously accepted, we can’t overlook the level o
