Introducing: The Lebois & Co Heritage Chronograph Indian Motorcycle
Who doesn't like a good collaboration, especially when it involves watches and motorcycles. Dutch watch enthusiast Tom van Wijlick recently revived the Lebois & Co. watch brand and has collaborated with Indian Motorcycle for a special edition of the Heritage Chronograph. Both brands are known for reviving classics and this is a perfect marriage of timeless craftsmanship and design. If you want both the bike and watch, the VIN number will even be engraved on the case back for a perfect matching numbers set. Of course, the watch can be purchased separately as well.This isn't the first time we've seen a watch/motorcycle collab. William Wood Watches also collaborated with Indian for a special Scout model to support The Fire Fighter Charity in the UK. Bulgari teamed up with Ducati for the Aluminium Chronograph Ducati Special Edition and so on. This one really highlights the revival of classics with modern engineering, however, and is a natural partnership. Ad - Scroll to cont
Is the mid-size Santos de Cartier the best option, or is it a classic poor mans choice? - Monochrome Watches
A direct comparison between the large and the medium-sized Santos de Cartier raises the question: what is actually large? Normally the term mid-size' is marketing slang for a ladies' model', but that's definitely not the case here. We put the Cartier Santos mid size and large size, side by side.?With the reintroduction of the Santos, Cartier really hit the right note at the 2018 edition of the SIHH. The revamped icon (yes, we hate that word as much as anyone, but hey, this watch genuinely deserves that designation) was a success for several reasons. The chief reason was undoubtedly the style of the watch. The new Santos is instantly recognizable, masculine, modern while still carrying that unmistakeable Cartier elegance.

Spotted - Cristiano Ronaldo with Breguet Double Tourbillon 5349PT
Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese footballer who currently plays for the Turin-based club Juventus. He is also one of the most famous players on the planet alongside Argentinian player Lionel Messi of Barcelona. And as you can expect from him, he plays some serious “foot game”… but also some serious “wrist game”, as he’s been seen yesterday with “just” a paved, platinum Breguet Double Tourbillon ref. 5349PT.?Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo – or CR7 for the fans – has sported a couple of complicated pieces, albeit adorned with extra bling. The first one was a Hublot MP09 Tourbillon Bi-Axial adorned with baguette diamonds on a rubber strap. The second was a Girard-Perregaux Planetarium with tri-axial Tourbillon in rose gold. This watch was even more iced out than the first one, with the matching bracelet also featuring diamonds everywhere. It seems he does like watches that feature serious complications.Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates

There’s already plenty said about the Black Bay collection and its effect on Tudor as a brand. Yes, it’s a gargantuan success and yes it’s home to countless iterations by now, and more will likely come further down the line. From its humble beginnings in 2012 with the release of the Black Bay Burgundy 79220R to bronze, silver and gold models, we’ve seen it all it seems. But surprisingly, Tudor has managed to keep the Black Bay’s momentum going by introducing new sizes, slightly changing its overall design (here’s looking at you Black Bay 54!) and adding a touch of complexity with GMTs and Chronographs. Recently though, they’ve perhaps launched the ‘freshest’ Black Bay in a long while, the Black Bay Ceramic Blue!This Black Bay Ceramic Blue is nothing really new under the sun as it’s mostly about the dial colour and of course the connection to the VCARB Formula 1 racing team. Early this year, Tudor announced it would enter the f
