The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34mm - Monochrome Watches
Audemars Piguet expands its Frosted Royal Oak collection with a new 34mm model shimmering with its hammered white gold case and refreshing light blue dial. Five years ago, Audemars Piguet released a frosted gold version of the iconic Royal Oak; not the iconic Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta in 1972, but an equally iconic Royal Oak revisited by Jacqueline Dimier in 1976 for women. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the women's version in 2016, the Royal Oak – in 33mm (quartz) and 37mm (mechanical self-winding) – was dressed for the occasion with a glistening hammered gold case created with Florentine jewellery designer Carolina Bucci. Although the idea of taking a hammer to a watch might make your hair stand on end, Carolina Bucci is a fourth-generation jeweller from the Florentine Bucci jewellery dynasty and dominates the gold hammering technique.

First Look: The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 Gets a Classic Blue dial
Born in the mid-1950s as a watch designed for people working in magnetic environments (hence its name), the IWC Ingenieur is mostly remembered in its 1976 shape when IWC released the SL Jumbo reference 1832, designed by Gerald Genta using his classic integrated luxury sports watch concept. It took some years for IWC to finally come back with a modern iteration, but in 2023, the Schaffhausen-based brand released this: the Ingenieur Automatic 40. Following a titanium version and three stainless steel editions in black, silver and aqua blue, IWC now adds a new dial colour to the collection, a classic dark blue – a.k.a the most expected tone of the category.We’re not here to re-do the entire history of the collection or to recap all the details behind the return of the classic IWC Ingenieur. For that, you can consult our in-depth article and video here. What’s important to know is this: in 2023, IWC released the long-anticipated Ingenieur watch in its most classic shape,
