SIHH 2018 - Vanessa Monestel of Laurent Ferrier, On The New Collection - Monochrome Watches
We are already well over half-way through SIHH 2018 and there's still much, much more to come in our comprehensive coverage of the Fair. If you've been following along, you would have already seen our video interviews with the likes of Wilhelm Schmid of A. Lange & Sohne and Christian Selmoni of Vacheron Constantin.

Frank and his Vintage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 'Jumbo' 5402ST - Monochrome Watches
Today, we’ll get straight to the point and speak frankly and honestly. Frank, Founder and Managing Director of MONOCHROME, whom I’ve known for more than seven years now, is probably one of the most upfront and straightforward people I’ve ever met: Frank is a man who says what he thinks. And today we’ll talk about one of his most beloved watches, one that he’s owned for years and that I’ve always wanted to feature in our ‘Collector’s Series’, his handsome Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ‘Jumbo’ 5402ST. And because this watch is such an icon, it doesn’t really need an introduction anymore. Instead, we’ll be looking at what really matters, the collecting side of things, the market, the fuzz around the watch… Today the ‘Collector’s Series’ goes wild and I’m happy to have Frank on board for this new instalment. Fasten your seatbelts and let’s get to it! Ad - Scroll to conti
