Weekly Watch Photo - Glashutte Original PanoInverse XL - Monochrome Watches
This isn’t the first time that we feature some of Jocke’s photos in our Weekly Watch Photo. It was actually the legacy of his ‘wet Sea-Dweller’ photo?that inspired the Weekly Watch Photo.?Judging from the photos he shares, Jocke is a fan of German watch brands. Besides the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 that we already showed you here, he also owns a Dornbluth & Sohne (later more about this one) and several Glashutte Original timepieces, like the Panoinverse XL that we show you today. While most watches from A. Lange & Sohne and Glashutte Original are pure watch pornography on the wrist, they keep things courteous because the mind-blowing movements are movement down ‘on the wrist’. Not so the Panoinverse XL, that shows its beauty in all its naked glory. Ad - Scroll to continue with article GO’s Panoinverse XL caused q

Louis Moinet Memoris Superlight (Live Pics & Price)
Louis Moinet holds a special place in the history of the chronograph with the 1816 Compteur de Tierce. Designed to time the passage of stars, this innovative timepiece could measure events to the 60th of a second with start, stop and reset functions. In 2016, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of this creation, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet presented the Memoris, an original monopusher chronograph with its mechanism fully exposed through its dial. The latest versions of the model are colourful limited editions in lightweight titanium.The Louis Moinet Memoris is an original take on the chronograph, displaying the chronograph mechanism on the dial side, in particular its driving command, with the column wheel at 12 o'clock and the horizontal clutch next to the counter at 9 o'clock. To offer an unimpeded view of this mechanism, the registers are fashioned out of transparent sapphire. The hour and minute indications are off-centred at 6 o'clock. The watch is now presented in three new colourfu

We go hands-on with the robust and bold Tissot PRS 516 Chronograph
Tissot might be coming up for its 170th birthday next year, but it has always known how to keep pace with the times. As one of the first brands to court the exciting world of car racing in the late 1950s, Tissot and sporty chronographs have become natural allies. One of the brand's earliest watches inspired by the race track was the PR 516 of 1965; a novel steel sports watch with a perforated steel bracelet to simulate the holes found on the steering wheels of race cars. Earlier this year, Tissot revamped its PRS 516 Automatic Chronograph but didn't go down the vintage path. In a departure from the brand's Heritage collection with compelling remakes of vintage models, the PRS 516 is a thoroughly contemporary chronograph with a bold attitude, plenty of motorsport details and an aggressive price. Let's take a look at the black and blue versions of the PRS 516 Chronographs launched in March 2022 with a beefed-up Valjoux movement.Race TrackThe brand's first association with motorsports dat
