What to know about the Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First, a highly innovative concept with brand new escapement - Monochrome Watches
Dominique Renaud might not be the most famous name, at least for a large audience. However, passionate insiders have known him for decades, as being the co-founder of Renaud & Papi (now owned by Audemars Piguet and known as APRP). After almost 15 years of retirement, Dominique Renaud came back last year in the light; announcing he was to be part of HYT, as technical consultant. And now, he's back, on its own, with a revolutionary concept watch, mixing highly innovative escapement type, energy efficiency and optimal accuracy. The watch is called the?Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First and here what we already know about it.First of all, let’s put?the debate about design (shape of the case and overall look of the?Dominique Renaud DR01) aside, for a simple reason: the 12 first watches that will be manufactured are entirely customizable, meaning that probably none will look the same. This watch is a concept, a technical experimentation rather than being a watch meant to tell time
This Unique Credor GBBY983 Is An Art-Piece You Didn't Expect From Seiko Corp. - Monochrome Watches
The Seiko Group is a typical Japanese conglomerate… Meaning that under the same umbrella (but not under the same brand), you’ll find watches ranging from about EUR 200 to more than half a million euros. Grand Seiko is often seen as the group’s top watchmaker, but we have to keep in mind Credor, an even more confidential and exclusive brand that is capable of creating a grande sonnerie watch. And while GS has already demonstrated its ability to create metiers d’art watches, it’s now time for Credor to show that artistic crafts are also its thing. The result? This unique GBBY983, a hand-engraved watch with automaton… Probably not what you were expecting to see today, right?To make it clear, there’s nothing in common between a Seiko 5 and a Credor watch, except the fact that the shareholders on top are the same. Credor might be an entity of the Seiko Corporation, it surely has skills that no one else in the group can apply to watches. In the past,
Introducing the Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver Artemis Racing Limited Edition for the 35th Americas Cup - Monochrome-Watches
Ulysse Nardin, ostensibly a name synonymous with sailing, creates a limited edition Marine Diver to commemorate its partnership with Artemis racing. The previous America's Cup race had the growing pains of transitioning from the diminutive-by-comparison AC45 yachts to the staggering AC72 yachts (we featured the changes with Corum). The America's Cup 72 foot speed machine, which seems a misnomer to call a yacht, so we prefer a jet-aircraft-on-water, now comes standard with a solid carbon fiber sail, dual catamaran hull, and the finest in technological innovation. Oracle remains the team to beat, but as in life, competition calls for extraordinary effort, and Artemis, true to its name, returns to the hunt. Ulysse Nardin offers The Marine Diver Artemis Racing as a nautical instrument suitable for the herculean challenge of reaching sailing's most coveted trophy.The dive functionality of the watch is recognizable in its unidirectional bezel, which is notched with a wave edge for additional

British Watchmaking: Introducing the Garrick Shaftesbury SM301 (specs and price) - Monochrome-Watches
England might not instantly leap out as a natural ancestral home for a new watchmaking company, but for Garrick and its owner David Brailsford, the location of its centre of operations was never in question. Watchmaking has a rich historical connection with England, and back when the foundations of the science were being established, the city of London was at the forefront of technical innovation in horology, and it is upon that history that the Garrick Watch company was conceived.For a new company to cite such horlogic legends as Arnold, Mudge, Harrisson, Graham and Tompion as its inspiration is an eyebrow raising way to make an entrance, but the new Garrick Shaftesbury SM301 watch and the approach to its creation make for an impressive statement of intent.
