Watches and Formula 1 - Episode 3 - Mercedes AMG & IWC Schaffhausen - Monochrome Watches
After a long hiatus over the summer, and the sometimes literal clash between Mercedes AMG F1 drivers Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton reaches new levels race by race, it is time to look at the current leader of the pack for this third chapter in our Watches and Formula 1 series. Mercedes AMG F1 is the team that rose from the ashes of Brawn GP which in turn bailed out Honda Racing F1 Team. If you remember our first episode of this series, we covered the origin of motor racing, including the birth of Grand Prix racing and the start of Formula 1 in 1950. Coincidently, Mercedes played a major role in both of these! It just so happens that the German manufacturer teamed up with a Swiss Watchmaker from day one; IWC Schaffhausen!Before we take a look at the fireproof-glove-covering IWC's the team drivers Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton wear during each Formula 1 Grand Prix, the team's racing history is too interesting to be ignored. It features illustrious names, groundbreaking technology, dis
An Unusual yet Fascinating Pilot's Watch, the 1950s Jardur Chronograph - Monochrome Watches
The Jardur Company of 874 Broadway, New York was a manufacture of “Navigation Instruments” as well as an importer of the Jardur Bezelmeter and Super FlightMaster aviation wristwatches and chronographs. In the early days of commercial flight, someone had to provide the navigational instruments, logbooks, charts, navigational aids and elapsed time recorders to make long-distance flight possible and Jardur was one of those companies. I contacted AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) to find out about Jardur as I had seen it referenced by pilots as their flight watch of choice' including B-29 Pilots during WWII as well as amateur pilots of the period.Below, a?Jardur Flight Calculator and Plotter Below, a?small 24-hour dial manual-wind Jardur pilots watch Ad - Scroll to continue with article I first came across chronographs
In-Depth: The Entire Tudor Black Bay Lineage, from 2012 to 2024
It is pretty impressive to see how Tudor’s Black Bay models have established themselves as more accessible options to the Submariner in a relatively short period of time without compromising on quality. But more than just being a more accessible Submariner, the Black Bay has gained its own status over the years, becoming an independent collection. The series also drastically helped redefine a brand that was struggling with an identity crisis at the time. Although only launched in 2012, there is now a sizable portfolio of Black Bay models, with the classic diving variants being the 41mm Black Bay, the 39mm Black Bay 58 and the 37mm Black Bay 54.From left to right - Tudor Submariner 7922 (1954) - Tudor Submariner 7923 (1955) - Tudor Submariner 7924 (1958)This group of three references belongs to Tudor's Heritage line, which follows the 1954 Oyster Prince Submariner (ref. 7922) in overall design – you can check this in-depth article to understand the connection between vinta
TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited Edition (Live Pics & Price)
Earlier this year, we mentioned that 2020 will be the year of the Carrera for TAG Heuer, along with the celebration of the brand’s 160th anniversary. Kickstarting the Carrera line-up was the very attractive, vintage-inspired and minimalistic Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition, a winning combination of old-school look and modern mechanics. Following this edition, the brand is now releasing a second model, with the same base but multiple dial evolutions, some poached from another Heuer icon, the Montreal. Here’s the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited Edition, which we were able to shoot right before its official launch.BackgroundThe Carrera Silver Edition was a faithful reissue of the earliest of the Carrera watches, the 1963 Ref. 2447 and its simple, almost utilitarian look that was all about legibility of the chronograph indications. Jack Heuer was a fan of modern, clean design and this showed in the early Carrera watches. But we can’t reduce HeuerR
