Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm Pink Gold & Onyx Dial
It might come as a surprise to newcomers to the watch scene, but the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was one of the precursors of the luxury sports watch and appeared in 1975, just three years after Audemars Piguet's trailblazing Royal Oak. With its raised octagonal bezel, sleek lines, hobnail dial and integrated bracelet, the Laureato was Girard-Perregaux's interpretation of the luxury sports watch. In tune with the times, the Laureato was fitted with a slim, ultra-precise COSC-certified quartz movement. Following a period of hibernation, the Laureato was reanimated in 2016 with limited editions, followed by a fifth-generation line-up in 2017. Today the Laureato 42mm family expands with the arrival of a new model in a luxurious 18k pink gold case with a sleek black onyx dial and in-house automatic movement.GeometryThe Laureato is all about juxtaposing shapes inspired by its 1970s forefather. With everything from time-and-date to chronographs?and from perpetual calendars to the more robust L

Omega Goes Anti-Magnetic With The Master Co-Axial Calibres - the first truly anti-magnetic mechanical movement in the watch industry - Monochrome Watches
No, we’re NOT going to talk about a watch, we’re talking about movements. Omega starts introducing the new Master Co-Axial movements into the collection with 8 new calibres. These new calibres are the first truly anti-magnetic mechanical movements in the watch industry and they can easily resist magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss. That’s simply brilliant you’re going to love them for it. Read on to find out why! Last year we already told you about this movement, although Omega didn’t reveal anything else than the mere fact it can easily resist magnetic field of 1,5 Tesla (15,000 Gauss). In that article we explained everything you need to know about magnetism and mechanical watches, because the two don’t go very well together. Until now that is! Omega is revolutionizing mechanical watch-making. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

E-Moonwatch Only, The Speedmaster Guide now in Mobile E-Book Version On iBooks
Three years ago, two men decided to launch?a book which provided an unprecedented level of information, entirely focussed on an iconic watch. Their names: Gregoire Rossier and Anthony Marquie. The watch in question: The Omega Speedmaster “Moonwatch”. The book: Moonwatch Only. This example of an encyclopedia?quickly became the ultimate reference guide for Speedmaster lovers. It explored all the models, all the components were dissected and it also included multiple historical references… It was a true “Moonwatch Bible”. Today, the Speedmaster Guide is back, this time in an electronic version, named E-Moonwatch Only?(available on iBooks), and it features a new tool that will make life easier for collectors.While the?Moonwatch Only?book is a heavy and thick 566-page reference guide, divided into several sections (with exhaustive background and history), the mobile / electronic version,?E-Moonwatch Only, promises to be lighter and more practical – and fe

And for the price, it’s packed with features… It has a powerful automatic movement, great diving capacities, solid materials all around, the required certifications, and it even looks pretty cool. In short, everything you'd expect and more. After the initial models of 2021, the brand now updates the collection with two new Tissot Seastar 2000 Professional Powermatic 80 models, one with gold touches and one with a black-and-blue abyssal theme.?Let’s go back to the basics of the Seastar 2000 Professional. What you’re looking at is one of the most interesting yet accessible deep dive watches. Not a casual-looking 200m watch for the weekend here, but a watch made for the abyss. Modern in its design without vintage references, it remains relatively classic yet strong and powerful. Measuring 46mm in diameter and 16.25mm in heig

Ulysse Nardin Freak X "Qatar Watch Club" Edition (Price)
Watch clubs are certainly a growing phenomenon, with more and more local initiatives to encourage collecting. Clubs are a great way to generate passion and increase horological knowledge among their members. Among the many clubs that have popped up recently, one seems very active and even creates special watches for its members, the Qatar Watch Club – remember that special Tudor Pelagos earlier this year? The QWC has announced its third special edition watch, and the first done in collaboration with Ulysse Nardin. And this time, the Doha-based enthusiasts opted for a Freak X, one of the most striking watches the brand currently produces.Introduced during the SIHH 2019, the Ulysse Nardin Freak X was a highly interesting take on a fascinating concept, the Freak. Born in 2001, this piece was one of the first horological concept watches to surface. With a design and display from outer space, it was also an innovative creation that commercially introduced silicium technology. For the
