Only a week ago, we’ve seen the comeback of yet another legendary name, Daniel Roth, and the introduction of the first watch of the new era. Behind the project is no other than Jean Arnault, fifth and last?child of luxury giant Bernard Arnault, owner of LVMH, back up by the master watchmakers of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. There is another brand that has once been owned by?Bulgari (just like Roth) that is about to comeback as a stand-alone brand, and it’s that of a legend of the watch industry, Gerald Genta. And LFT Louis Vuitton and 24-years-old Arnault are again behind this?resurrection, as reported by Nick Foulkes for the Financial Times.As Foulkes explains, Arnault father and son discussed watchmaking and the name Genta came up in a conversation, re-discovering that the LVMH Group was owning it, under management of Bulgari, yet relatively dormant in the past 20-plus years.

A look at the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 (Specs & Price) - Monochrome-Watches
Today on Monochrome-Watches, we’re going to look at TAG Heuer’s latest addition – and we’ll have a look at it through the hublot (the meaning?of this last sentence will probably sound odd to you, but you’ll understand later). While the new strategy of TAG is to get back on track with the market of young, active and sport-oriented men (with watches like?this one) or to look back at its past (with vintage oriented pieces like this one), the?TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 plays on another field. It’s technical, modern, visually complicated and different from anything else made by the brand. Let’s see if this watch is a proper TAG.For most of us, a Carrera is a sports chronograph with a specific look that is easily recognizable. Even if it can be modern and look like that, it can also be a re-issue of the vintage 1960s editions, like the recently introduced?Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph Telemeter. Whatever the model, they all share specific at

Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster Green Numerals Date - Hands-On, Price
Accessible dive watches are a dime a dozen. To put it simply, finding one that you’ll like is an endless quest, with so many good options available (and also very bad ones…) But accessibility often means that some concessions on quality, mechanics or specifications will be made. And then comes the style, with many of these watches built around the same overall design. What if you’re looking for a solid, deep diver’s watch with an original look, reliable mechanics, faithfulness, a name that resonates in the heart of collectors and, to make it even better, a fair price. Well, we have one for you here, in the name of the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster, here presented with a rather striking green dial.?BackgroundNivada is typically the kind of brand that will talk mostly to seasoned collectors and vintage watch lovers.
