Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#2, The Worlds Thinnest Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar (SIHH 2018)
As with all industries, the watchmaking world is subject to trends. One that we’re not unhappy to see resurfacing is ultra-thin watches. Piaget kicked things off?in December with the thinnest automatic watch, followed at the SIHH 2018 by?the thinnest mechanical watch ever created (2mm thick, no less). It is now time for Audemars Piguet to?come on board and demonstrate, if it’s even necessary, that they know a bit about watchmaking. Here is the?Royal Oak RD#2, which at a staggering 6.30mm thick is the thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar on the market today.Reminder 1… Audemars Piguet has always had a soft spot for ultra-thin watches. Forget about the massive Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon/Grande Complication/Diver Chronograph. Instead, take a look at the watch that created the modern side of Audemars, the 1972 Royal Oak 5402ST. It was and still is one very thin watch, with an automatic movement that was thinner than most hand-wound calibres. Its modern iteration, t
Linde Werdelin SpidoLite II Tech Green - Monochrome Watches
Linde Werdelin introduced the SpidoLite II Tech Green earlier this year at Baselworld and we got one of the two prototypes for an extensive review. The new SpidoLite II Tech Green is one of two new models that mark a special moment for Linde Werdelin as they have started using new materials. Like forged carbon and ALW, which stand for Alloy Linde Werdelin, being their own extremely light alloy. Besides the Tech Green, there’s the Tech Gold, that features a solid gold bezel and crown. The first thing you’ll notice when strapping the SpidoLite II Tech Green on the wrist, is that it is incredibly light. That also makes it into a very comfortable wear and I have to admit that the review period was over before I knew it and the watch had to be returned to the good folks of Linde Werdelin. So let’s take a closer look at the new forged carbon SpidoLite II Tech Green. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Interview with Richard Krajicek - IWC's Friend of the Brand - Monochrome Watches
I think we don't have to explain the concept of brand ambassadors and that most high-end watch brands have a “few” celebrities that can be considered “Friend of the Brand. Globally IWC has quite a few friends of the brand, and also in every market there are some local friends of the brand. We had the chance to sit down with Richard Krajicek, former tennis champion who won Wimbledon in 1996, defeating Pete Sampras in the quarterfinals – Sampras' only defeat between 1993 and 2000! Krajicek retired from the ATP circuit in 2003 and in 2004 he became tournament director of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam. He also runs the Richard Krajicek Foundation, which builds sports facilities for children in inner-city areas in the Netherlands. That's why we think that Krajicek is the perfect brand ambassador for IWC. His own foundation and the Laureus Sports for Good foundation that IWC supports, show quite some resemblance.What was your first expensive timepi
Buying Guide - 5 Unconventional Watches With Convertible Cases
The clothes we wear, the way we do our hair, the music we listen to, and the food we eat are all a reflection of our personality. Heck, even the watches we wear are a reflection of our demeanour and interests or even passion. But what if you want to reveal more than just one side of your personality and, as an extension, your watch as well? Most wristwatches need to be swapped out to give you a different look, but some have the ability to change looks ‘on the fly’.
