Hands-On - Chopard L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire (Specs & Price)
Launched in 2016, the L.U.C Full Strike was Chopard's first foray into the world of minute repeaters and was a true reimagining of the complication: the watch featured a monobloc sapphire crystal and gong assembly and an independent power source for the striking mechanism, along with a host of safety features preventing the user from accidentally damaging the movement. The Full Strike went on to win the top honour at the 2017 GPHG, the Aiguille d'Or. Following the first model, which was crafted in Chopard's ethical Fairmined 18k rose gold, Chopard launched a version in 18k Fairmined white gold in 2018. And now it's time for the sapphire gongs to be joined by a full sapphire crystal case.To mark the 25th anniversary of its Haute Horlogerie L.U.C collection, Chopard has just unveiled a highly limited, five-piece run of the Full Strike, this time with a case made of sapphire. The case of the Full Strike Sapphire shares the same dimensions as the earlier versions of the watch, which means
The Mido Multifort Patrimony Collection (Specs & Price)
Mido is a brand that sometimes flies under the radar, at least here in the United States. Brands like Hamilton, Tissot and Longines seem to garner more attention in the USD 1,000 race, but Mido has both a storied history and portfolio that shouldn't be overlooked. The brand's Multifort line has been in production since 1934 and was the first Mido with an automatic movement. The watches were anti-magnetic, shock and water-resistant, offering a rare combination of robustness at an impressive price to quality ratio. The same holds true today with the new Multifort Patrimony collection, featuring a retro design, top mechanics and attainable prices. As part of the Swatch Group, Mido benefits from the conglomerate's resources, and its latest trio of Multifort Patrimony timepieces continue their legacy of style, innovation and function. Let's take a closer look.BACKGROUNDMido was founded in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland by George G. Schaeren in 1918. Initial watches featured shaped cases with colo
The Gleam of Architectural Achievement: The JEANRICHARD Terrascope Reviewed - Monochrome Watches
In New York City you can spot a tourist. No, not by his campy t-shirt, fanny pack or outrageous shoes; the sure-fire tell of a tourist is a craned neck, positioned so he can stop and stare upward at a skyscraper. Pointing his finger, the interloper exclaims, Hey, look! It's the Empire State building. You might think he was gazing on the eighth wonder of the world, mesmerized by the building's design, the brilliance of the sun's reflection off its surface or the colossal scale rising before him.Don't be surprised if your Terrascope garners the same reaction: Hey, look at that watch! Like a tourist stopped in his tracks, we spent the last month gawking at the JEANRICHARD black dial Terrascope. We have shared JR's aerial affinity in our articles about their Aeroscope collection, the Neroscope and our interview with captain Sully; but here, JEANRICHARD looks to the earth in their Terrascope collection, and we, with both feet on the ground, consider a terrestrial watch built for King Kong.
