Do we have to introduce the Lange 1 to you, dear readers? If you’re here, reading at Monochrome, you certainly don’t need us to go full details about what certainly is one of the prettiest modern horological icons. The Lange 1 and its derivatives are well-known from watch enthusiasts since 1994, and for very good reasons. This is the main reason why, when a new edition is revealed, there’s always a sort of sentimental feel at the redaction – remember that the Lange 1 was (among others) the first watch introduced when Lange came back to life. And this why we’d like to introduce to you the new?A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 TimeZone Dresden Edition in Honey Gold (and the?one little detail that makes it quite special…)Anecdote… Why A.

Introducing: The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Titanium Collection
Maurice Lacroix entered the heavily contested luxury sports watch market quite some time ago, with the introduction of a mechanical Aikon back in 2018 already. Since then, it’s come in many colours and materials, and in different styles. From robust divers to chronographs, and from colourful summer watches to creatively complex renditions, it’s pretty much all been done. However, following consumer feedback, Maurice Lacroix is now expanding the range once more with lightweight models in both the Aikon Automatic 42 and Aikon Automatic Chronograph lines. Surprisingly, it uses titanium in both grade 2 and grade 5!Aikon Automatic 42 TitaniumLoosely based on the Calypso from the 1990s, the Aikon comes in a shaped case with a fixed bezel and six signature claws. Several sizes and materials have been introduced in the past, but Maurice Lacroix opted for the Automatic 42 (for 42mm) to debut a sleek titanium exterior, alongside the Automatic Chronograph which we’ll get to in a

Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer Regulator // Hands-On, Price
The Senator Chronometer Regulator made its debut in 2013 but can trace its layout all the way back to the 1870s when the tiny Saxon town of Glashutte was an important purveyor of precision chronometers and other timekeeping instruments like regulator clocks. Let's take a closer look at the Senator Chronometer Regulator in red gold and see how a historic precision regulator display can add a refreshing twist to a classic Senator.Marine Chronometers and RegulatorsGlashutte, the cradle of Germany's watchmaking industry, is proud of its history, and rightly so. As a thriving centre of production following Ferdinand Lange's establishment of a watch factory in 1845, the town welcomed watchmakers to establish itself as a true production hub. Two specialities to emerge from the workshops of Glashutte were marine chronometers and regulator clocks. We recently reviewed the Senator Chronometer and its evocation of historic marine chronometers. However,? for a chronometer to provide accurate time

HYT’s new timepiece is?a?perfect blend of ingredients that were already available and are now merged into this black and red futuristic timepiece. Let’s have a closer look at the sporty H4 Gotham.HYT's first was introduced only 3 years ago, in 2012, and was called the H1. It was the first timepiece ever (!!) to use fluids for indicating the hours, while the minutes are indicated by a classical minute hand on an off-center dial. The tube that contains the hour-indicating fluids surrounds the off-center minute dial and the main mechanics responsible for the movement of the fluids. These ingredients, the essentials of the brand, are of course also present in the new H4. And there are more design cues that we've seen before, however now they come together in a no

Stephane Bianchi, TAG Heuer's CEO, on the 50th Anniversary of the Monaco - Monochrome Watches
During the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco, last weekend, we sat down with TAG Heuer's CEO, Stephane Bianchi, to talk about the 50th anniversary of an icon, the TAG Heuer Monaco. I think we’d all agree that the word iconic' is often misused in the world of horology, however, in this case, I think it's appropriate to designate the Monaco as ‘iconic’. Stephane Bianchi tells us more about the Monaco and how TAG Heuer is celebrating the 50th anniversary of this legendary and highly recognizable timepiece.In 1969 the Heuer Monaco saw the light of day. Underneath its unusual case was the first automatic chronograph movement (although Zenith and Seiko also have a claim to producing the first automatic chronograph).

Both factors have contributed to its lasting popularity and especially the fact that the King
