Junghans Max Bill Edition 60 Set of 3 Watches (Specs, Price)
Junghans, the German watch company, celebrates the 60th anniversary of Bauhaus artist Max Bill's first line of mechanical watches for the brand in 1961. Instead of commemorating the date with one watch, Junghans is releasing a collector's set of three watches limited to 1,060 units worldwide. The Junghans Max Bill Edition 60?is comprised of an automatic, a regulator and a small seconds. Brief backgroundJunghans, the famous German watch company, was founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans in Schramberg (Black Forest). By 1903 had become the largest manufacturer of clocks in the world, producing over three million timepieces a year. Max Bill (1908-1994), a Swiss architect, sculptor, painter, and product and graphic designer, was commissioned by Junghans to design a kitchen clock, the Exacta of 1957.

Seiko 1970 Divers Re-Creation SLA033 (Specs & Price)
The new Seiko SLA033 has been one of the most anticipated and talked about watches of Baselworld 2019, up there with the Tudor Black Bay P01. It is undeniable that Seiko has more memorable divers per square metre – and price segment – than any other company (just head to the Seiko microsite on MONOCHROME to confirm my assertion). And not as a result of a well-planned marketing campaign but thanks to word to mouth, which is how fame is truly consolidated. At Baselworld 2019, Seiko took the decision to create yet another famous dive watches (after the SLA017 and the SLA025), with the 1970 Diver's Re-Creation SLA033.Among these iconic watches is the Captain Willard, the Seiko 6105, which occupies the highest echelon of Seiko divers, and of dive watches in general. Produced from 1968 onwards, with a water-resistance of 150 metres, what caught everybody’s eye was the crown positioned at 4 o’clock (which was, in fact, used for the first time in the 1961 Seiko Silver W

It seems that Vacheron Constantin’s current favorite complication might well be the triple calendar (or full calendar, or complete calendar… which all refer to the same complication). Brought back to center stage with the stunning?Historiques Triple Calendrier 1942 in steel and its gold sibling, the?Triple Calendrier 1948, two superbly vintage-inspired pieces, the elegant calendar display is now integrated into a more modern – and highly precious – watch, as a preview of the SIHH 2018. Please meet the?Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Complete Calendar “Excellence Platine“.Despite using the same complication as the recently introduced?Historiques Triple Calendar 1942 & 1948, Vacheron didn’t just take the same movement and encase it into this new?Traditionnelle Complete Calendar “Excellence Platine”. It is a bit more complex than that. In fact, the complications used in this new watch are the only common point here. All the rest
