Introducing new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph - SIHH 2017
I think we can all agree that the fastest?way to ruin an iconic watch is by completely?redesigning it. It seems that Audemars Piguet subscribes to this idea too and in fact has gone as far as to print it?out in massive letters and put it?everywhere in the design department. Don’t change the Royal Oak, it will only?end in tears and with a final result that is nowhere near as good at what you started with. Still, the market is a sucker for novelties and some fresh air is needed, from time to time. With this in mind,?Audemars Piguet introduces the Refreshed?Royal Oak Chronograph at the SIHH 2017. No?major changes of course, just some tiny little updates?to make it even more?appealing, including a?two-tone dial design.Overall, we’re talking 7 new versions of the?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph; four versions in pink gold which are available on a matching, pink gold bracelet or an alligator strap and three versions in steel?fitted with stainless steel bracelets. The choice

Weekly Watch Photo - Panerai PAM372 vs Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref 5402 - Monochrome Watches
Some photos need no comment and actually this Weekly Watch Photo is such a photo. It simply shows?the strong contrast between two watches that are intended and can be labeled as sporty/casual.?On top is the Panerai PAM 000372, one of Panerai’s most popular models of the past decade, and below is my own Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402, the predecessor of the current Royal Oak ref. 15202 that could well be AP’s most popular timepiece – it certainly is the?thinnest sports watch that was ever produced is series. The?difference in height/thickness is striking! But what’s the main reason for this immense difference?First the facts: the Panerai PAM 00372 measures 16 mm in height, and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (this is the vintage ref. 5402) measures exactly 7 mm. The Panerai is more than twice as thick. Now the question is, if there is a logical explanation for the difference in height. There are several factors that have an?effect on the thickness of a watch.

Hands-on - Chopard L.U.C Time Traveler One Black (Specs & Price)
Chopard introduced the L.U.C Time Traveler One in 2016. Marking the first world timer to join the L.U.C collection, the Time Traveler One shows the time in all 24 time zones simultaneously and is operated by an internal 24-hour ring.

Hands-On: Some Thoughts about the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P
If you ask yourself what’s the most classic dress watch ever made by Patek, and probably one of the most important models of the category, the answer should ultimately be the Calatrava. Not much to debate here. The collection, created in 1932 with the reference 96, has had such an influence on the watch industry that the word icon is legitimate in this context. But in recent years, there’s been Calatravas and Calatravas… with pilot-inspired watches or weekly calendars. What matters today is the 96 lineage, the essential, timeless Calatrava. Luckily, the one we all have in mind has returned this year with the launch of the Calatrava 6196P. And here’s what I think about it.What is a Patek Philippe Calatrava (the 96 lineage)When we think about the Calatrava, we must immediately mention the all-important reference 96 by Patek Philippe, the watch that not only started this collection but also 1. saved Patek back in the days,? 2. launched a new style of case construct
