Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin - VIDEO
In 2018, Audemars Piguet introduced a concept watch named RD#2. It was based on a Royal Oak, it was very thin, it was even 2mm thinner than the iconic Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin 15202. The most impressive feature was that it even comprised a perpetual calendar. This year, Audemars Piguet introduces the final version of the RD#2, a watch named the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, the world’s thinnest perpetual calendar. By entirely changing the architecture of the automatic movement and its perpetual calendar mechanism, Audemars Piguet has managed to incorporate all the parts on one single plane. And that’s how Audemars Piguet achieved this world-record creation measuring just 6.3mm in height. This achievement has even been awarded the Aiguille d’Or at the GPHG 2019, the Oscars of the Watchmaking Industry, further proof of the brand’s innovative spirit and technical expertise. The 2019 titanium & patinum R
Hands-on - Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti - Baselworld 2016 (Live pics & price) - Monochrome Watches
We’re not going to ask you if you are aware of Hublot as a brand and of one of their specialties: partnerships (like for example with football teams or?Italian car maker). We bet you’re aware of this. For the 2016 edition of Baselworld, this is not going to change. However, their latest collaboration made a huge impression on us, first because the brand they are teaming with is certainly amongst the finest shoemakers around the world and also because the concept has been pushed extremely far, making it quite striking. Here is the?Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti.With this partnership, Hublot continues its path in style – lifestyle and fashion oriented collaborations. Like they did with denim watches, with camo printings or even with lace, the latest idea was to insert leather. Well, in fact most watches do already have leather, at least those on a leather strap. So Hublot had to find something more. From the words of the CEO,?Ricardo Guadalupe, the brand “wanted to
Value Proposition Glycine Combat 6 Classic Moonphase
When talking about affordable field watches, brands like Hamilton and Seiko come to mind with reliable, no-nonsense mechanical pieces. Of course, you can spend more on luxury watches from the likes of Weiss or Longines, but a mature field watch from Glycine with an upscale complication can be had for a surprisingly accessible price. The Combat 6 Classic Moonphase offers the requisite field watch legibility and reliability but spruces things up with a moon phase for a high-end touch. And it's from a proper Swiss brand that never left Biel/Bienne in over a hundred years of operations to boot.BACKGROUNDGlycine was founded in 1914 by watchmaker Eugene Meylan in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Meylan had an initial focus on luxury with gold and platinum pocket watches, and precise, miniature movements for women's wristwatches. The brand prioritized wealthy clientele and in the 1930s, Meylan invented his own automatic movement and also launched a range of certified chronometers. As World War II in

New Colours For The Glashutte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
A far cry from the gravitas of the more classical Pano and Senator models, the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date is one of the most original and refreshing models from Glashutte Original. Launched in 2014, the Seventies Panorama Date captures the zeitgeist of that groovy decade with its square TV-shaped case and adoption of vibrant, funky dial colours. Two new limited-edition models with “Golden Bay and “Ocean Breeze” matte dial colours enhance this luxury sports watch collection with a sophisticated integrated flyback chronograph and the brand’s hallmark Panorama Date window.The more demure traditional colours of the first Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date Models eventually gave way to colours more in sync with the collection’s name and spirit. Donning bold, eye-popping colours, the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date took its first colour dip with gradient dials inspired by the nearby Elbe Sandstone Mountains before moving on to more psychedelic colo
