A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin Black Gold Flux - Review, Price
Sparkles might pose a problem to gentlemen when it comes to watches. Luckily, in watchmaking, there are sparkles, and then there are sparkles. Unlike the flashy radiant light emitted by a gargantuan diamond on a Jacob & Co. watch, for example, the sparkling dial of the Saxonia Thin emits a gentle, refined shimmer produced by the black aventurine glass covering the dial. The very essence of a dress watch, the Saxonia Thin Black Gold Flux, is the black-tie version of this refined family and made its gallant debut last December 2020.Looking at this watch is like lying down in a remote field – miles from any source of light pollution – and looking up at the night sky. It is simply magical, a sliver of our beautiful cosmos encapsulated on your wrist. Ad - Scroll to continue with article A dressy dress watchThe Saxonia Thin is A. Lange & Sohne's sl

Beating The Monday Blues With Six Bluer-than-Blue Watches
What comes after Black Friday, the Christmas holidays, and the New Year’s Eve celebrations? That’s right, Blue Monday. Labelled to be the most depressing day of the year, Blue Monday is typically connected to the third Monday in January, which this year would have been the 15th. This means that, for what it’s worth, we’ve already passed it, possibly without even realising it!

Hands-on The New Seiko Prospex SRP series - ref. SRP773K1, SRP775K1, SRP777K1 & SRP779K1 (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome Watches
A friend of mine who is an underwater photographer, fisherman, diver, and a watch lover once tried to explain me why he loves dive-watches. Surprisingly, he referred only very briefly to the heavyweights ( , Omega, etc.) and instead he focused mainly on Seiko. He told me that you must be nuts or very rich in order to dive for a specific job (hunt fish for instance) wearing your expensive dive watch; because 9 out of 10 times you gonna scratch it at the very the least if not more. For the friend of mine, if you have a strong and professional link with the sea, you have to?wear a cheap (relatively speaking) but highly reliable, rugged, professional-oriented?dive-watch. That's the essence of a diving watch for him and in this specific?market, Seiko almost dominates the competition. And as the successor of?the iconic Seiko SKX007, the new Seiko Prospex SRP series has to be seriously considered.
