INTERVIEW: Rebecca Struthers About Old Watches Getting a New Life - Struthers London - Monochrome Watches
This week we had the pleasure of sitting down with Rebecca Struthers, one half of Struthers London. Rebecca and her husband Craig are the master watchmakers and founders behind Struthers London. Having spent many years as vintage and antique watch restorers they launched Struthers London to re-commission high-grade antique and vintage watch movements recycled from the past. In the interview we discuss how the Morgan Car Company partnership came to fruition, who have been her watchmaking inspirations and what its like to work with your husband. Mono: Tell us a bit about Struthers?RS: The Struthers watchmakers are my husband Craig and me, between us we’ve been in the industry for nearly 25 years and trained in vintage and antique watch restoration, illustration, design, antiquarian horology, jewellery, silversmithing and diamond grading amongst other things. In 2013 we decided to set up our own business designing and making bespoke watches using a whol
Introducing The Green IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar IW503608
While all the attention was focused (rightfully so) on the return of the Genta-inspired Ingenieur watch during the Geneva watch fair, IWC actually had more watches to present… at least discreetly. We’ve covered already the new Top Gun Chronograph 41 in black and blue, but more pilot watches have been unveiled. And one of them goes big and green, just like we like it. Here’s the IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Green, and there’s a surprise on the back of the strap…Know as the reference IW503608, this new model doesn’t reinvent the wheel, if you allow me the expression. It is, in fact, a new colour to an already existing model, the updated BP Perpetual that was introduced in 2021, with a blue dial, a steel case and a blue leather strap. And now, well there’s a green edition – following what IWC has done already with both the BP43 watch here and its more elegant collection, with two green Portugieser models. Ad - Scroll to contin
Panerai LAB-ID PAM700 - Review (Specs & Price)
A?common cliche is to let engineering and innovation in the hands of Germans / Swiss and design to Italians. Justified or not, you probably heard that dozens of times. Yet, for once, we’ll let Italians their chance to show their skills in terms of innovation… And to be honest, they might have something here. Indeed, the new?Panerai LAB-ID PAM700, presented at the SIHH 2017, is simply a concentrate of Panerai’s technology. 50 years warranty, self-lubricated parts, almost no jewels in the movement, carbon everywhere. See, Italians can also jump into technology.OK, this intro was kind of ironic, because, it has to be said, Panerai watches are mostly developed and manufactured in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Yet, this doesn’t remove anything to the interest behind this watch, a piece that sums up everything the Florentine brand can do best in terms of technology and movement design.?Clearly, the teams of Panerai are both proud and extremely confident in this new concept.
Introducing the HYT H4 Gotham - Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
This year, the ultra-modern and innovative watch brand HYT has expanded the collection with the H3 (recently launched during Baselworld 2015), and now HYT come a with a fourth line, which?starts with the HYT H4 Gotham. HYT’s new timepiece is?a?perfect blend of ingredients that were already available and are now merged into this black and red futuristic timepiece. Let’s have a closer look at the sporty H4 Gotham.HYT's first was introduced only 3 years ago, in 2012, and was called the H1. It was the first timepiece ever (!!) to use fluids for indicating the hours, while the minutes are indicated by a classical minute hand on an off-center dial. The tube that contains the hour-indicating fluids surrounds the off-center minute dial and the main mechanics responsible for the movement of the fluids. These ingredients, the essentials of the brand, are of course also present in the new H4. And there are more design cues that we've seen before, however now they come together in a no

Add a decades-long connection to motorsport and pop culture, and you have a highly desirable iconic watch?instantly recognized thanks to its striking square case. Let’s dive into a hands-on experience of the new TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Blue.While it’s undeniable that some part of the Monaco chronograph’s allure can be attributed to Steve McQueen and his appearance in the Le Mans motion picture, where he effortlessly sported this watch on his wrist, let’s not overlook the fact that the 1969 Heuer timepiece itself is as original and audacious as the Hollywood legend it’s often associated with. Over the years, it has evolved, constantly pushing the boundaries of contemporary style and trendsetting, exemplified by editions like the pioneering Monaco V4 f
