Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Rose Gold // Introducing, Price
While the time-only automatic model, the shockingly thin tourbillon automatic and the recently presented chronograph have been at centre stage in the Octo Finissimo collection, we shouldn’t forget one of the earliest watches presented in this saga of world records… The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater. First introduced in matte titanium, and followed by a bold carbon edition, a new version has been presented at the LVMH Watch Week, a luxurious and warm rose gold model. Quick look.We might repeat ourselves, but Bvlgari has all the attributes of a legitimate high-end, highly respectable watchmaker. Don’t be fooled by its history in jewellery and fashion-oriented watches. Since the acquisition of Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta, the brand has engaged in a long-term strategy to become one of the most important watchmakers on the scene – without forgetting its innate Italian design codes. The way to achieve this seemed simple (on paper), creating some of the thinn
Limited Editions and charity.... - Monochrome Watches
There are some watches in the “big, bulky, sporty chrono” section that tend to come out with several limited editions each year. Of course i’m talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore and the Hublot Big Bang. Although i like both watches, i’m sceptical about the number of LE’s. I have never seen other models/brands come out with so much LE’s based on one model, unless you look at Panerai with numerous LE’s based on the Luminor Marina.Somehow i have to thing about a cooking course, when the chef says “now add a bit of this and a bit of that”. When you look at those watches they change the color of the dial and hands, do something odd to the dial (like the AP ROO Barricello) or make a rose gold version. Other things to play with are adding a power reserve, GMT hand or second timezone. And to totally top it off, there’s a tourbillon for those who want it all ??Hublot Project F BangHublot has, again, a new Limited Edit

Announcing - The MONOCHROME Montre de Souscription
Say what? A MONOCHROME Limited Edition? Well, sort of… For some time (read years), we’ve been playing with the idea of a MONOCHROME limited edition. But we wanted to do things differently. So for starters, our limited edition will be offered as a subscription watch, a Montre de Souscription using the same procedure dreamt up by Mr Breguet to create affordable watches for his clients. For our first one, we turned to one of our favourite indie watchmakers, Habring2.?Habring2 is an independent Austrian watchmaking atelier created by Maria and Richard Habring in 2004. After setting up shop, they slowly but gradually built their collection, their expertise and their own style of watches and complications. Nowadays, Habring2 offers some very nice three-handers like Felix or his sibling Erwin with dead-beat seconds (seconde morte) and the Felix Foudroyante, combining the foudroyante and dead-beat seconds set against a gorgeous salmon-coloured backdrop. There are also chronographs
