Hands-On Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic 26399NR
For autumn 2022, Audemars Piguet will be introducing a dash of coloured ceramic to some of the more complicated watches, including members of its Code 11.59 collection. Aware of the fact that there are few marriages in the watch world sexier than pink gold and black ceramic, AP has chosen this provocative dress code for its complex Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph. More than just a two-tone case, which AP has already toyed with in the past, this model takes the black and pink gold colour scheme all the way into the heart of the skeletonised movement.We met the Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph a year ago in a white gold case with blue lacquered details on the flange and chronograph counters. This year's model shares identical specifications but sails in with a devastatingly attractive combination of pink gold and black ceramic. Aware of the effect that pink gold holds to highlight certain features and black ceramic to attenuate others, the large deep case of

Weekly Watch Photo - Nautilus Chrono - Patek Philippe ref. 5980/1A - Monochrome Watches
Every time I see the Nautilus Chronograph, I have the feeling my knees get a bit weak and my vision gets a bit blurry (that means, everything around this watch gets blurry). A typical case and I plead guilty.End of last year I posted Bruno’s photo of his Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph or (for connoisseurs) the reference 5980/1A. In that post I wrote about my collection and how we sometimes seem to get our orders directly from a higher force. Because I don’t have the financial means to fulfill those orders I will keep posting other people’s photos of the 5980/1A. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Joe B. (or JeepRat on Timezone.com) posted some of his photos in the Patek Philippe forum over at Timezone and was so kind to let me share his photo of his beloved Patek. Writing about watches has its privileges, however it also has some serious

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT 2022 - Hand-On, Price
Mostly known for its connection with the world of motorsport and anything car-related, TAG Heuer also has a rather deep history in the field of dive watches, since the introduction of the 2000-series in the early 1980s. Later rebranded Aquaracer, the collection has since been a solid offering in the market for rugged dive watches. Last year saw the launch of a thoroughly revamped collection, bringing more refinement and personality. Following the presentation of the?Aquaracer Professional 300, the compact Aquaracer Professional 200 and the beefed-up Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver, it’s now time for the collection to cross borders with the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT.?The combination of diving credentials and travelling capacities is a classic of the sports watch.

Hands-on with the Ulysse Nardin FreakLab, a concept turned into reality (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
The Freak has always been an important watch, since it was first introduced in 2001. Not only for Ulysse Nardin, but for the entire industry. You may look at it as another impressive and technically advanced watch, with a strange way to display time, however it is so much more than just that. It has to be see as a proper laboratory of research, a watch that, 15 years ago, created a massive break all conventions of how a movement should/could be?construct.?Ulysses Nardin have redesigned the Freak a bit and it looks good! We go hands-on with the Ulysse Nardin FreakLab.Ulysses Nardin might be very well known for the Marine Collection?however this brand has a very rich repertoire including ?what used to be the very first perpetual calendar that could be adjusted forward and backward. Ulysses Nardin has an impressive R&D presence and the ability to innovate, to use unknown techniques and to really implement them into working retail watches. Last year, they introduced a new Anchor Escape

The brand new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic 4500V - Monochrome Watches
In the new Overseas Collection, Vacheron introduced the highly desirable ultra-thin edition of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. This watch clearly brings back VC where it deserves to be, in the top 3 of the luxury sports watches. However, there’s a major issue with the ultra-thin edition: it is rather expensive and not every collector will have pockets large enough to afford it. No worries, if you intend to buy a time-only Overseas, Vacheron-Constantin also has another solution, more affordable and not void of interest (at all). Here is the?brand new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic 4500V, with its stainless steel case (but also a pink gold option) and all new in-house movement.Don’t consider the?Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic 4500V as the poor-man Overseas. Consider it at the classical offer and imagine the ultra-thin edition as the luxurious one. In fact, this edition replaces the actual time-only Overseas that we know for several years now – and look
