Introducing The AP Royal Oak Jumbo 16202BC Blue/White Gold
Following the release last year of an updated Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin collection – the 16202ST, for the steel model – in the frame of the 50th anniversary of the brand’s iconic watch, Audemars Piguet is today releasing a new version that, visually, will feel familiar to fans of the model. If I say 14802PT…? Yes, this extremely rare version of the Royal Oak Jumbo Jubilee 20-year, made of platinum, in only 20 examples, with some of the examples featuring a grained blue Tuscan dial. Well, it’s somehow back, with the new Royal Oak Jumbo Ultra-Thin 16202BC, a boutique-exclusive white gold version with… a grained blue dial.?The inspiration, the 20th-anniversary Royal Oak Jumbo Jubilee 14802PT, in platinum with grained blue dial – image by Phillips WatchesLooking at the image of the 14802PT above, it is obvious where AP found the inspiration. The brand doesn’t hide its strategy with the new Jumbo 16202 collection, which pays tribute to histor

Introcuding - The 2021 Editions of The Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Automatic
Patek Philippe introduces two new automatic models in its recently revamped Twenty~4 women's collection. In 2018, Patek Philippe overhauled its Twenty~4 collection from head to toe. Introducing 36mm round cases to sit alongside its rectangular-shaped siblings, the feature that thrilled many of us was the inclusion of a mechanical movement. More in line with Patek's tradition of exquisitely crafted watches inside and out, the long-overdue upgrade from quartz to mechanical was finally addressed in the Twenty~4 family with the incorporation of Patek's 324 S C movement. Patek's proposal of an everyday watch for women, the new arrivals are a steel model with a green dial and a rose gold model with a matching gilded sunburst dial, both with a double row of diamonds on the bezel.From complications to ready-to-wearIt would be wrong to assume that?Patek Philippe?is?Switzerland's finest producer of men's watches: it has been and still is Switzerland's finest producer of both men's?and women's wa

Buying Guide - Some of Our Favourite Skeleton Watches
There are endless styles of watches, ranging from plain-and-simple to over-the-top, from time-only models to grande complications. While we often categorize watches on certain features or complications (tourbillon watches, sports watches, dive watches, etc…) there are styling choices that are free from restraints and can be found in any category. Today we go through no less than eight skeletonized watches that extend this delicate craft beyond the conventional boundaries.?While we already touched upon the subject of skeletonized watches a little over a year ago in a buying guide article, we felt it was time to once more pay homage to the art of cutting away all that isn't needed. We are once again taking a look at some of the most extraordinary open-worked watches but from a different perspective. As skeletonized watches range in style from chic to sporty and everything in between, we tried to select those that transcend a certain style and become more than just the sum of their

MB&F HM5 CM CarbonMacrolon - The 1970s inspired Horological Machine is back in black (specs and price) - Monochrome-Watches
The Lamborghini Muira MB&F Horological Machine 5 or HM5?is back on the road. If you’re not too young or if you’re fond of an era that could seem very strange to teenagers (yes, we’re talking about the 1970s) the shape of the HM5 should be familiar to you. Apart from the steampunk-inspired Legacy Machine 101 recently revealed, the HM5 is based on one of Max Busser’s favorite theme, the?futuristic-looking icons of the 1970's. And the MB&F HM5 is now available in black. But don’t be?wrong, it’s not just another PVD?coated edition but a brand new and innovative material.The MB&F HM5 was until now available in two editions: the first introduced with a Zirconium case and a second one with a Red Gold and Titanium case. Now the the 1970s inspired Horological Machine is back in black. Ok, you’ll expect just a new colour or maybe the use of a titanium PVD coated case. But that would underestimate Max and his friends. The black case is made wi

Anonimo Epurato Safari Black DLC case (Specs & Price)
Prior to Baselworld 2018, Anonimo, the Italian brand founded on the roots of what was left of Panerai when Richemont took it over, presented a new, more casual watch: the Epurato. As indicated by its name, the brand wanted to go back to the essentials, with a cleaner, slightly dressier and easier-on-the-wrist timepiece. Rather successfully received, today two new versions, with DLC-coated cases and sand-coloured accents are introduced, under the name?Anonimo Epurato Safari.Anonimo is truly Italian. Not only in its sense of design but also in its DNA. It was created from the ashes of another Italian?brand. In 1997, Richemont bought Panerai and decided to relocate the production from Florence to Neuchatel. Yet, some of the ex-employees didn't move and they headed the creation of a brand named Anonimo (anonymous in Italian). The main focus was on diving watches, designed by the military engineer Dino Zei, who was at the helm of Panerai for over 20 years. Robust, large, military-inspired&#
