Introducing: Longines Conquest Chrono Ski Limited Edition
Longines is renowned for its dedication to sports, so it’s no surprise that as the leading partner of the International Ski Federation (FIS) and Official Timekeeper for both the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup and the FIS World Championships, the brand chose to celebrate the upcoming 48th FIS Alpine Ski World Championship in Saalbach, Austria, by launching a special Ski Edition of the Longines Conquest Chronograph. While, in essence, it is the same Conquest Chronograph model that emerged in 2023 as a result of a long-awaited and welcomed update to the collection, this edition features subtle decorative enhancements that appeal to enthusiasts drawn to its sporty look. Plus, it’s the same watch Marco Odermatt sports this season, so it comes with a story to tell.The new Longines Conquest Chrono Ski Edition features a robust 42mm stainless steel case with 100m water resistance, complemented by a black ceramic insert on the tachymeter bezel and a sapphire crystal with multi-layer anti-

Spotted - The IWC Pilot's Watches SFTI of Top Gun: Maverick
Recently, we were able to confirm what was the watch worn by Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, the 2022 blockbuster and sequel to the cult 1986 movie. And yes, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is back to action with the (almost) same Valjoux-powered black PVD-coated Porsche Design x Orfina Chronograph – to be fully accurate, it is not the same watch as worn in the 1986 movie, but one in a much better condition. Pretty cool, pretty accurate too. But there is much more to Top Gun: Maverick when it comes to watches… Jennifer Connelly for instance wears a vintage Explorer 1016. And then, there are the young wolves, the recruited pilots to train at Top Gun… And to make it very accurate indeed, they all wear IWC Pilot’s Watches SFTI models, the same “Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor” watches that are?only available to instructors and students in real life.?Everybody passionate about fighter jets and movies related to this will tell you that the origina

The Auction Hammer - Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Art Deco - Monochrome Watches
Next Saturday Antiquorum will auction a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Art Deco, the most beautiful Reverso I’ve ever seen. Why? Just take a look…The Reverso Art Deco was produced by Jaeger LeCoultre in the year 2000 and was the first Reverso with an engraved, skeletonized movement. The caliber is 822AD, a derivative of caliber 822 that is used in many Reverso models. When Jaeger LeCoultre opened the virtual museum this model immediately caught my attention.

Hands-on with the new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Senna Special Editions during Goodwood 2015 (Live Photos, Specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
What a pleasure to feel TAG Heuer coming back to its roots: technically simple but highly cool watches with a clear racing-car orientation (see the new Nismo Limited Edition for Le Mans). The brand is sponsoring many events, pilots or races. This year, during the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed, we had the chance to get our hands on special pieces dedicated to a racing legend, one of the previous ambassadors of the brand that makes his comeback (in fact, he was the first ambassador of the brand in 1988 and until 1993): Ayrton Senna. Here are the two editions of the?TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Senna. Don’t be confused by the shape of the case and the bracelet. This watch is really a Carrera. This?Calibre 16 Senna Special?Edition (available in two editions, one in stainless steel and one PVD Coated) uses a 44mm case with a more rounded shape that differs from the usual angular case of the Carrera – as you can see
