A. Lange & Sohne Little Lange 1 Moon Phase Gold Flux
For some, the thought of wearing a wristwatch with anything other than a perfectly symmetrical dial would be unthinkable, yet for others, watches like the Lange 1 by A. Lange & Sohne are considered iconic. The German manufacturer's new editions of the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase combine visual elegance with horological values harnessed in Saxony. It presents the time on a dial crafted from unusual materials to echo the moon against a star-studded sky. Through the back of the case, an in-house movement finished with hallmark Glashutte techniques is put on display. The 36.8mm model crafted from 18k white gold comes in an unadorned version or a diamond-set iteration boasting a total of 56 round brilliant-cut diamonds on its bezel (1.20 carats).?The famous asymmetrical dialGerman watch manufacturer A.

Hands-On - Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire (Specs & Price)
Last year, Bell & Ross set a new benchmark for itself with the unveiling of the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Sapphire. Housed in a jaw-dropping, sapphire case that left little to the imagination, the (way-too) limited-edition timepiece made it crystal clear (pun intended) that the brand is about far more than just military and aviation-inspired watches. Now, Bell & Ross is taking the challenge of transparency a step further, with the new BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire.Over the last few years full sapphire cases have become increasingly popular, thanks in large part to early pioneers like Richard Mille and even MB&F. Indeed, several brands have unveiled watches with sapphire cases in the past few years alone, including Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Sapphire, Greubel Forsey’s Double Tourbillon 30o Technique Sapphire?and Rebellion’s 540 Magnum Sapphire Tourbillon. Not that we're complaining mind you. After all, transparent cases allow for uninterrupted viewing
Capturing The Ocean's Energy, With Six Watches With Wavey Dials - Monochrome Watches
Dial textures can make or break a watch, but if done right they elevate the display of time into something gripping, something very impactful. One of the more common but always interesting textures, especially in aquatic (-inspired) watches, is the wave pattern. Sure, Clous de Paris or vertical or horizontal grooves are often very nice, but there’s something rather appealing in replicating the gentle undulations of the ocean. And that isn’t relegated to pure dive watches, as more sporty land-locked alternatives or even seriously complicated watches are adorned with waves. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best! And yes, I am well aware of the fact the list includes two (soon-to-be) sold-out limited editions, but they’re just too good to be ignored.?Omega Seamaster 300M No-DateOf course, we had to start with the long-awaited but secretly already revealed Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date.

Hands-on: The TAG Heuer Monaco Skeleton Blue
Changes to the appearance are often a more frequent feature of the TAG Heuer Monaco series than groundbreaking innovation in its mechanics. And over the years the brand almost always successfully implemented the use of new materials and updated designs, with the recent 2023 introduction of open-worked dials to the collection preceding the launch of the timepiece we are reviewing today, the 2024 TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Skeleton Dark Blue in DLC Titanium, perhaps the better looking of them by far.The 1969 Heuer Monaco reference 1133B.Since the Monaco chronograph was first introduced by Heuer in 1969, it has appeared in many design variations, always faithful to the original aesthetics of this legendary watch.
