Introducing: The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm Is Finally Here (Video & Live Pics)
It’s undeniable that the PRX collection has been a tremendous success for Tissot so far. Everyone seemed to gravitate to it when it was launched a mere two years ago. Tissot hit a home run with it, as it has all the credentials of a luxury sports watch; a shaped case, prominent bezel, integrated bracelet and a textured dial. What was missing though was a slightly smaller version, as plenty of people feel the 40mm Tissot PRX wears a little too big. In comes the new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm.The style of luxury sports watches has been on the rise over the past few years, resulting in extreme demands for specific models. With this surge in popularity of watches like the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, it was inevitable others would join this segment of the market too. Historical icons were dusted off, entirely new designs were introduced and we even saw several independent watchmakers bring out luxury sports watches! The new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm now joins the party as a ver

A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 TimeZone Dresden Edition in Honey Gold (and with one little detail that makes it special...) - Monochrome Watches
Do we have to introduce the Lange 1 to you, dear readers? If you’re here, reading at Monochrome, you certainly don’t need us to go full details about what certainly is one of the prettiest modern horological icons. The Lange 1 and its derivatives are well-known from watch enthusiasts since 1994, and for very good reasons. This is the main reason why, when a new edition is revealed, there’s always a sort of sentimental feel at the redaction – remember that the Lange 1 was (among others) the first watch introduced when Lange came back to life. And this why we’d like to introduce to you the new?A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 TimeZone Dresden Edition in Honey Gold (and the?one little detail that makes it quite special…)Anecdote… Why A.

Hands-On - TAG Heuer Carbon Aquaracer Calibre 5 Special Trilogy (Specs & Price)
Move over ceramic, here comes carbon. Carbon fibre is the flavour of the day in the material world giving watches a high-tech stealth look associated with the world of F1 and competitive sailing. Following in the wake of the highly successful Carbon Monaco customized by Bamford, TAG Heuer presents three Aquaracer models decked out with carbon fibre details and housed in a 41mm black PVD-coated titanium hull. All three Aquaracers, differentiated by their colour schemes, will be put on sale today, along with the much anticipated Monaco Bamford unveiled back in March 2018. Before we look at the three models in detail, two points need clarifying: the Aquaracers have not been customized by Bamford and the cases, unlike the Monaco Bamford, are not made from solid carbon fibre. There are carbon fibre details on the case, however, and the good news for fans of the Aquaracer is that you can get the same cool look of a customized Bamford for roughly half the price.The genesis of the AquaracerTAG

IWC Big Pilot Constant-Force Tourbillon Edition IWC Racing IW590501
At IWC, one of the most emblematic collections is, without doubt, the so-called Flieger or Pilot’s Watch. Inspired by the past of the brand, when IWC was delivering robust observation watches to military forces, they are some of the most revered watches for pilots of the industry. But when you think of pilots, even for IWC, you might have in mind a flight instrument. Yet, IWC also uses this name for another kind of pilots… Think Hamilton, think technical objects, think motorsport. This is what this new IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Constant-Force Tourbillon Edition “IWC Racing” IW590501 tends to demonstrate.?Motor racing, and Formula 1 in particular, is a world of cutting-edge technology and innovative materials, where precision and reliability are keys to success. It’s a world that always looks at the future, where the past is only synonymous with lower performance. For this reason, the Big Pilot Edition “IWC Racing” gets rid of all the elements

Ochs und Junior - Luxury 2.0 - Monochrome-Watches
What is luxury? Luxury was the topic of conversation at the lunch we had with Beat Weinmann, CEO and cofounder of the brand Ochs und Junior. The brand's technology and design maestro, Ludwig Oechslin, recently retired curator of the Musee International d'Horlogerie, was absent for our gastronomical affair, which happened in Lucerne, far, far away from the bustle of Baselworld 2014. Given that the discussion centered on luxury, you may be surprised to know that the Ochs und?Junior's headquarters sits several blocks away from the prestigious retail enclaves near the lake, and appropriate to the minimalist ethos of the brand, the shop/headquarters sits in an unassuming storefront. Inside is a spartan workshop with large tables for viewing Ochs und Junior watches, which as a rule have an unadorned, industrial feel. Where are the fashion models who waited on us in Basel? Where is the champagne? Where are the precious metals, which are polished to within an inch of their lives? In a word, wh
