Introducing the Drive de Cartier, a new men's shaped watch (hands-on review, live photos, price) - Monochrome Watches
If there was only one thing to embody?about Cartier Watches it?could easily be?how the brand?masters shapes. Round, Square, oval, rectangular, deconstructed… There are many variations at Cartier and most of them are full of elegance, somehow eccentric but never overdone. The Old Maison is good at it, as we’ve seen recently with the Cle de Cartier of the Crash Skeleton.?For the SIHH 2016, a new variation, more masculine, slightly vintage-oriented has been introduced and then again, it doesn't disappoint the senses. Hands-on with the new Drive de Cartier, in its simplest, 3-hand automatic edition.Last year, Cartier launched a new watch, with a brand new design, elegant and balanced, called the Cle de Cartier (that, for your information, is now available in stainless steel too and not only in precious metals). The Cle is definitely an interesting offering but it is intended to be a unisex watch, as available from the start in several sizes (31mm and 35mm for women and 40mm for
Christmas Buying Guide - Our Top 5 Accessible Watches of 2015 - Monochrome Watches
After our first Christmas Buying Guide focused on our Top 5 Dress Watches of 2015, it’s time to go back on earth and to talk about real people’s watches. Let’s be honest, most of us can’t afford these sumptuous watches priced over 30,000 Euros (and more). Lucky those who can, really! However,?we have to keep in mind that a watch is a huge investment and this is the raison d’¨ºtre of this new Christmas Buying Guide, that this time will look at our?Top 5 Accessible Watches of 2015, with watches from 629 Euros to 4,950 Euros (we said accessible, not cheap and of course you’re at Monochrome, meaning that it will only be mechanical timepieces).Seiko Prospex Automatic Diver 200m Baby Tuna' 4R36?in blue?(ref.?SRP653K1)Entering the Prospex family means a lot for Seiko addicts.

Review 2021 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Master Chronometer
This probably won’t come as a surprise to you but… there’s a new regular production?Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional! As far as I can say, this is big news, simply because we’re talking about one of the most iconic and most respected watches ever produced, and a watch that has been in continuous production since 1957. Clearly, Omega wasn’t allowed to mess with this watch and everything that had to be changed, removed, redesigned or updated had to be carefully weighed. We covered the launch of the watch a couple of days ago; however, such an update needed to be explained once we had the opportunity to see the watch. Why? Because actually, almost every single element of this Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Master Chronometer is new… But (thankfully) it still very much looks like a Moonwatch.?The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional… until nowBefore we look at the new Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Master Chronometer, it is important
Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18k Yellow Gold 79018V - Price, Specs
If Tudor is regarded as the accessible arm of , what has been unveiled today is not that accessible anymore… ?Well, it remains, for what it is at least, relatively fairly priced, but it is clearly out of Tudor’s comfort zone. Based on the brand’s highly acclaimed and appreciated vintage-inspired dive watch, the BB58, the brand has just released a new luxurious edition made of 18k yellow gold and equipped with an oh-so-trendy green dial/bezel combination. Meet the new Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 79018V.?Case material aside, there are no major differences between this new yellow gold edition of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight and a classic steel version, like this blue edition or the black gilt version. The main difference is, of course, the solid 18k yellow gold case. Most of the time, precious Tudor watches are two-tone watches – with even some of the parts only capped in gold, not even solid gold. Here, it’s solid gold all around, for the case, the crown, the
Hands-On Glashutte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Salmon
Glashutte Original‘s Senator Perpetual Calendar has been in the brand’s collection for 22 years, a triumph of mechanics and design with one of the best perpetual calendar displays around. Evolving over the years on and below deck with aesthetic tweaks and upgraded movements, the last overhaul was in 2017 with the?Senator Excellence and the incorporation of calibre 36 and its 100-hour power reserve and silicon balance spring. Although we tend to associate bold colours with GO’s Sixties and Seventies collections, today the Saxon brand unveils a very special Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar limited edition of 100 pieces of its QP with a stunning salmon dial with blue accents. The impeccable legibility of the calendar functions, which has been a constant of this QP throughout its lifetime, is accentuated with the dramatic contrast provided by the attractive rose opaline dial and crisp blue details.Evolving since 1999GO’s Senator collection is populated with cla
