A. Lange & Sohne Little Lange 1 Moon Phase Gold Flux

Six Watches with Unique Power Reserve Displays - Monochrome Watches
There’s a certain tyre manufacturer from Italy that claims “Power is nothing without Control”, and to an extent, that is very true about mechanical watches as well. Sure, you can have the most beautifully constructed watch, but if you don’t harness the energy that’s generated by winding it properly, it’s useless. Luckily, we’ve figured out how to regulate that a long time ago and in some watches, you get a very practical display to keep track of things. This so-called Power Reserve display (or indicator) can take many shapes and forms, some more intuitive than others, but it’s always a very useful element, especially in manually wound watches. For that simple reason, we’re taking a closer look at some of the most original, clever and impressive ways to display power.Longines Conquest Heritage Power ReserveLongines has one of the most impressive archives in the business, and it’s a regular source of inspiration for the brand.

First Look: IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton
One of the most accomplished motorsport athletes, Lewis Hamilton is equally famous for his racing pedigree (seven-time F1 world champion, on the same level as Schumacher), his striking personality and his distinctive personal style and polarizing outfits. This sense of fashion and style has long been reflected in his horological choices, not only by wearing some of the boldest creations of IWC (his and Mercedes-AMG‘s long-time partner) but also by creating special editions together with the Schaffhausen-based watchmaker. Today, both parties reveal the IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton, a watch that isn’t just about colours and aesthetics but about high-end watchmaking too.?This new limited edition is the third timepiece designed in a collaboration between IWC and Lewis Hamilton and the first to be based on the Portugieser.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo S Chronograph GMT Steel Hands-On
Since 2014 Bvlgari has set itself the challenge of producing some of the thinnest watches ever created. Following the thinnest tourbillon watch, the thinnest minute repeater watch, or?the thinnest automatic movement, the Rome-based brand decided to focus on the chronograph complication, and in 2019 it presented the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic, the world’s thinnest chronograph watch and Bvlgari’s fifth record in the ultra-thin arena. Following the same recipe as?the automatic watch last year, today the brand introduces the Octo Finissimo S Chronograph GMT Steel, a sportier, more robust watch with increased water-resistance and bolder looks.?In its quest to produce ultra-thin watches, Bvlgari adopted a decidedly modern and contemporary approach merging traditional watchmaking codes with design cues from the hottest watch category these days: the luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet.

‘Blue is the new black’… For approximately 2 to 3 years now, we’ve seen many watches?launched?with a blue dial, watches from every brand, every price range and for every use. Blue is indeed a big trend (we’re not complaining) but this colour doesn’t fit every timepieces.

Now Vacheron Constantin comes with limited editions of the Overseas Time-Date and Dual-Time with this same blue dial.?The Vacheron Constantin Overseas is one of the few watches that can properly be called a high-end sports watch, meaning a timepiece that combine a real sporty feeling and strong aesthetics with a luxurious finish, a high-end movement and the capability to be worn also with a suit and tie.
