Introducing the Smoky Green Santos De Cartier MM & LM Models
Revamped entirely in 2018, with a sportier design and a clever set of interchangeable straps and bracelet, the Santos de Cartier (not to be confused with its more elegant sister, the Santos-Dumont) has been first launched, classically, with silver dials, and in Large Model (LM) and Medium Model (MM), both powered by automatic movements. Then followed a cool gradient blue dial, and bold versions mixing steel and rubber, either in black or in blue. This year, the Santos de Cartier will have a new edition, and be prepared, we might look at possibly the coolest edition so far. Here are the Smoky Green Santos LM and MM.On the side of the specs, nothing changes. The Santos de Cartier is still the sports watch with a French touch, typical of Cartier, yet with a more robust twist. And there’s still the super practical QuickSwitch?interchangeability system, as the two editions come with a steel bracelet and a green alligator strap as standard. The steel bracelet also features the SmartLin
Portrait: Lithunian Watchmaker Liudas Norkus
The watch community can be a truly great thing, as every now and then it seems to embrace new ideas, new concepts, new people and brands with open arms. We’ve seen it happen in watches where the community can get involved in the design process, or with watch clubs bringing together brands and collectors. And we see it once again with Liudas Norkus, a new name on the firmament! In just 24 hours, this young Lithuanian watchmaker managed to sell out his debut watch. And we’re not talking about five, eight, ten or even twenty-five watches, but two hundred! Naturally, such stories tend to get noticed by us and it presented a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with him and his watch!Robin, MONOCHROME Watches – Liudas, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1907 - Reviewed (Live Photos, Specs and Price) - Monochrome Watches
We do get our share of impressive timepieces to wear, however a watch that is, or is almost, the thinnest watch in the world, still impresses. Hugely! That’s what the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin 1907, that was introduced earlier this year during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. Thin as a razor, superbly legible and very stylish. We’ve reviewed this 4,05 mm thick (or thin) watch for you.Beforehand we wondered how it would feel on the wrist. With just over 4 mm in height it could well be fragile and maybe even “scary” thin to wear. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin 1907 is the second iteration of this ultra-thin timepiece from the Grande Maison of the Vallee de Joux. The first version, executed in platinum, was introduced as part of the 180 years Jubilee Collection that Jaeger-LeCoultre launched as tribute to Antoine LeCoultre in 2013. The new Master Ultra Thin 1907 comes in a 39mm pink gold case that is just 4,05mm thick.

Aramar Walrus, Dutch 1970s Dive Watch on Kickstarter / Specs & Price
If you are looking for a vintage-inspired dive watch, the world is your playground. Especially since ambitious young watchmakers and marketeers heard about Kickstarter, new watch companies with old watches keep on popping up. One of the first out there was Aramar Watch Company, founded in 2010 with Kickstarter-funding and a nice vintage-inspired watch. Now, it’s back with a dive watch. Meet the Aramar Walrus. Once upon a long, long time ago, the Royal Netherlands Navy reigned the seas. Nowadays, it has only a handful of vessels and four submarines of one single class called De Walrus. Why exactly it is named after a fat and not-too-good-looking mammal that doesn't live anywhere near the Dutch coasts is not entirely clear, though. Neither is the real function of these subs, as the Dutch government very rarely discloses their locations. Supposedly, they spend most of their time on peace missions or on drug hunts (although you don't need a submarine for that -
