Forest, olive, khaki, pine, emerald… Green is everywhere and is, without a doubt, the main trend for 2020 and 2021. But as with all trends, they come and go. And, let’s be honest, while there can be some very cool green models – I see you 5711 Olive Green?and 15202 Smoked Green – this colour isn’t the easiest to wear on a daily basis and to match with a classic outfit. And, it will most probably become outdated in a few. So, for those who still want a bit of colour and more originality than classic black or silver dial, yet with a timeless look that won’t become obsolete, blue remains the best option possible. Here are 5 watches with blue dials that have been launched recently.The Pilot – Fortis Flieger F-39 Midnight BlueWhen you think about a pilot’s watch, you’ll probably have a black dial in mind. Surely, it does make sense regarding legibility, as these watches are all about contrast. But since most of us do not wear these watch
Pre-Baselworld 2016 - The re-birth of the Girard Perregaux Laureato (2016 edition, ref. 81000) - Monochrome Watches
This year, the manufacture Girard-Perregaux, known for its impressive tourbillons (under three bridges or working on several axis), its?minute repeaters but also for the iconic 1966 collection, is celebrating its 225th anniversary. As you might expect (this is the rule in the watchmaking industry), the brand will come with several special watches dedicated to its?rich past. The first one we’re about to show you is rather surprising (and rather refreshing too) as it is not another 3 Gold Bridges watch but a throwback to the golden age of sports-watches, the 1970s. Here is the?re-birth of the Girard Perregaux Laureato with the 2016 edition, ref. 81000.The history of?the Girard Perregaux LaureatoAs you probably already spotted, the?Girard Perregaux Laureato has this rather unique 1970s shape, a mix of octagonal and round for the bezel, an integrated bracelet and a rather slim profile. This description might sound familiar and refers to several watches: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak,
Baselworld... or the new fashion collection of watches - Monochrome Watches
This month?most of?the big watch brands in the watch industry will show their new creations at the annual watch trade show in Basel, which is called Baselworld. Last month the Richemont brands (think: Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Montblanc, Lange &?Sohne, Cartier, etc.) had their ‘fashion show’ in Geneva during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie or short SIHH.?Among this years novelties there where beauties and beasts, and I think the beasts outnumbered the beauties. ?Let’s have a look at this year’s beauties and one ‘beast’. gets the honor of releasing the most ‘ugly beast’ this year. The new 44 mm large Yachtmaster II features a countdown mechanism on a very busy and ‘loud’ dial. Although the ‘normal’ Yachtmaster was never one of my favourites, I definitely prefer it over this one. Yachtmaster IIMy absolute number 1 of the Beauties this year, is a simple divewatch with classic looks. T
Hands-On: The new Tudor Black Bay Master Chronometer is a Monochromatic Classic
A classic that has been in the collection for over 12 years and, without a doubt, the brand’s cornerstone model, the classic 41mm Tudor Black Bay is now in its third generation. If design-wise not much has changed at first sight, the watch you see today is, in many ways, a much more advanced instrument than when it was first released in 2012. Following last year’s major update applied to the burgundy-gilt version, the Tudor Black Bay Master Chronometer collection has been expanded with the replacement of the black version, now offered in an ultra-classic, no-gilt, all-monochrome model. And I have a few (positive) things to say about it.Evolution, not revolution, is the motto that we have long associated with , and it seems to also apply to Tudor in a slightly less strict manner. and its Submariner are the perfect example of keeping things as evolutionary as possible.
