The 3 Best Watches of the LVMH Watch Week // Buying Guide
Earlier this week, French luxury powerhouse LVMH staged its first Watch Week in Dubai to showcase the novelties of its four brands, Bvlgari, Hublot, Zenith and TAG Heuer (even though the latter had no new watches on display), which we’ve covered on MONOCHROME. But to end this rather intense week, let’s take a look at the three best watches that were introduced at the LVMH Watch Week in Dubai – at least, in our opinion.Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Satin-Polished in SteelAs you know, we love the Octo Finissimo at MONOCHROME.

Up Into The Clouds With Some Of The Fliest Pilots Watches Of 2022 So Far - Monochrome Watches
Tool watches can be divided into three basic categories (dive watches, field watches and pilot’s watches), even though some might overlap into multiple groups. The robust, utilitarian nature of tool watches is what a lot of people look for in a daily, care-free watch. In today’s Buying Guide we take a closer look at one specific category of tool-watches, the one that takes us up in the clouds (if we want): the Pilot’s Watch. The category is very much alive, with plenty of new options to choose from. And going through the list of watches, you’ll see there’s plenty of room for a bit of fun, with innovative materials, unusual displays and funky colours. So, with that in mind, here’s our selection of some of the best Pilot’s Watches presented this year, so far.Longines Spirit Pioneer EditionLongines is intertwined with aviation from very early on in the brand's history.

Video Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Collection
Presented in 2019, the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 is an essential all-rounder, with the multi-purpose, versatile style needed for an everyday watch. Not too fancy or formal so it can be used on weekends, not too sporty either so it can be worn at the office. Modern yet classic, it might not be a particularly original design but, it is a very effective one.?And that makes it, alongside the attractive PRX collection, one of the best Tissot models now on offer.?The 40mm diameter and 11mm height of the case make the Tissot Gentleman relatively compact on the wrist. The sleek look, with a smooth polished bezel, adds to the robust feel of the watch, as well as its discretion. The case, as you would expect from Tissot, is well-executed, nicely decorated with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, with an overall quality that is quite impressive given its price category. For instance, the side of the lugs is highlighted by a nice polished bevel, while the flanks are brushed. The w
