Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon in Titanium - REVIEW (Photos, Specs & Price) - Monochrome Watches
At the Monochrome desks we see many impressive timepieces, and we even have the good fortune to get to wear many of them for some weeks. Each and every of them excels in its own field, however if we don’t like it, we don’t write about it. That’s our our own rule. When we had the chance to review the Lange & Sohne Datograph and Double Split or the JLC Master Ultra-Thin there was no sign of hesitation or doubt and we wholeheartedly and immediately agreed to do a review. However when we got the chance to review the Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, there was a brief hesitation.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Titanium 26574TI
Just over a decade after the launch of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet introduced the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. A leader in the field of QP complications, Audemars Piguet combined Gerald Genta's iconoclastic design of 1972 with the thinnest automatic QP movement of the day to produce the hugely successful Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (Ref. 5554). A staple in the collection since its launch, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar was revamped in 2015 with a larger and sportier 41mm case size and the incorporation of a week display. A few months ago, we reviewed the latest RO Perpetual Calendars in pink gold and steel cases with blue dials that evoke the colour of the original Royal Oak. A new model, crafted in titanium with a blue dial and grey sub-dials, is set to launch exclusively in the United States in September with limited availability in other countries in October.Classic Royal Oak CaseSharing the same technical specifications, layout and movement as other Royal Oak Perpetual Calen

Buying Guide - Six Racing-inspired chronographs for Petrolheads
There’s no denying that “Boys and their Toys” is still pretty much a thing in today’s society. It’s also a given fact that watches, cars, and especially the combination of the two, still very much works. There’s of course a long-standing relationship between the automotive industry and watchmaking, whether it’s mechanical, quartz or fully digital. This originates from the necessity of precision timekeeping in racing. Nowadays, it’s more about getting that racing feel on the wrist as more mechanical chronographs are used to boil an egg instead of timing a race. Nevertheless, these six race-ready chronograph watches perfectly demonstrate the symbiosis between cars and watches!Tissot PRS 516 ChronographTissot is one of those brands that regularly showcases its ability to create good designs with serious mechanical watchmaking at a decent price. A perfect example of this, and one that suits today’s topic of choice, is the PRS 516 Chrono
