Hands-On - The Piaget Polo Blue Panda Automatic Chronograph 42mm
Presented in 2016, the Piaget Polo made quite some noise with its design, maybe slightly too conservative. Since then, the brand has worked hard on giving this collection more personality, more Piaget-ness so to speak. Following the initial time-and-date and chronograph models, we’ve seen Piaget Polo watches with colourful dials or contrasting bezel, and of course, earlier this year, the Piaget Polo Skeleton, a highly attractive model faithful to Piaget’s ethos. Now, it’s time for the Automatic Chronograph to come back in a handsome limited edition with a silver-and-blue colour scheme, contrasting elements and an integrated rubber strap. First launched as an exclusive for Mr Porter, but soon to be available worldwide, here’s the Piaget Polo Blue Panda Automatic Chronograph.BackgroundThe Piaget Polo is the brainchild of Yves G. Piaget, a watchmaking engineer and a gemmologist who join the family business in 1966. Yves had a passion for?horses and equestrian event

Weekly Watch Photo - Cartier Rotonde Jour et Nuit - Monochrome Watches
This photo represents what I like so much about watch and photography. The Weekly Watch Photo shows a Cartier Rotonde Jour et Nuit and is made by GEO. GEO is probably the biggest Cartier connaisseur and he shares his passion for Cartier watches through his own website Troisanneaux.com and since a few months as moderator of the Cartier forum at Revolution Online and even once on Monochrome. He wrote a lot about the?Cartier Collection Privee Cartier Paris watches, also known as CPCP watches. The Rotonde Jour et Nuit is part of the CPCP and in my opinion one of the most beautiful examples of this collection.

Cartier used the CPCP collection for their finest and most exclusive timepie

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5968G, now in White Gold Versions - Monochrome Watches
The Aquanaut stands out for being a casual-chic Patek Philippe purpose-built for an active lifestyle. Introduced in 1997, It was the first Patek Philippe to feature a rubber strap, and it has been a staple for the brand ever since. In 2018 came the first Aquanaut with a chronograph movement with the reference 5968A. Following on what can be considered a blend of styles by Patek Philippe, the collection now expands with new colours and a new material with two references. Meet the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5968G-001 and 5968G-010.Back in 2018 Patek Philippe surprised many with the launch of the Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A, a spruced-up colourful interpretation of the Aquanaut. It marked the first time a chronograph movement would become available in the Aquanaut family and it remains part of the collection today. The vibrant orange rubber strap (with an optional black one), orange markings on the chronograph counter and orange set of hands might be polarizing, but make no mistak

Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon Yohan Blake - Monochrome Watches
I have, sadly, never met Richard Mille in person, however, I have a feeling he would provide interesting company. I would enjoy hearing him regale me with his obsession regarding perfection. It is something which accords with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He clearly is drawn to examples of prodigious power and phenomenal performance. Mille has sought Ambassadors who are blessed with natural talent and who, statistically, push the limits within the professional sporting arena.Bubba Watson has an average driving distance of 311.4 yards, making him one of the leaders in his field.
