A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon 'Pour le Merite' White gold (live photos, specs and price) - Monochrome-Watches
The Richard Lange Collection by A. Lange & Sohne represents some of the most complicated watches from the brand. Well, you’ll say the rest of the collection is quite far from being simple, considering the Langematik Perpetual?we just introduced to you or the Datograph Up/Down we recently?reviewed. But when you add the words ‘Pour le Merite’ to the equation, you have quite an explosive cocktail. Here is the?A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon ‘Pour le Merite’, now in 18k white gold – and yes, it means a Tourbillon AND a fuse/chain in the same watch.Aesthetically speaking, the Richard Lange?Tourbillon ‘Pour le Merite’ comes with the same regulator style dial that can be found in the impressive 2014?Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna, meaning a large minute sub-dial at 12, a small second sub-counter (with an aperture for the one-minute tourbillon) at 7 and a surprising hour counter at 4, with a patented segment that hid
Daniel Craig Spotted at 2019 British GP With Omega Seamaster Bullhead and Bond 25 Seamaster watch
Most people over the weekend were watching Wimbledon for the Men's and Women's championship matches in addition to the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The 2019 Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone was slightly overshadowed by these two events. But for those who watched it, Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond and is currently filming parts of the upcoming Bond 25 film, was in attendance for the race won by English driver Lewis Hamilton. And he had something special on the wrist.What caught my eye was the Omega timepiece on Daniel Craig’s wrist. Yes, I know the brand is the official watch of 007, but Craig was wearing Omega before he was cast as the sixth James Bond, so he was a fan of the brand beforehand. This 2004 photograph shows him wearing a Speedmaster Automatic:Daniel Craig on June 3, 2004, in London.

Introducing - Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata, Now with a Subtler Design for 2017
While not new, the concept of the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata still is captivating, as being one of the few alarm watches on the market, and one with quite some great features. Indeed, the piece de resistance is the chiming system of this watch, as you’ll get your alarm chiming with a cathedral gong (something usually reserved to super-high-end minute repeaters). Previously introduced in a very “Marine” style, the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata is now unveiled in a much subtler version for 2017, and with a steel option.What exactly is the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata? Basically, it is an alarm watch, already something you don’t see everyday, to the exception of a few watches from JLC or Vulcain. Yet, this Sonata is not?any kind of alarm watch.?An alarm watch is designed to ring a signal at a defined time – used for a reminder or to wake you up.?Traditional mechanical alarm watches ring by means of a mainspring, tensioned to power a hammer striking on resoun
Calibre 11 - Vintage Heuer watches - Monochrome Watches
Calibre 11 is the first automatic chronograph and the name of a new weblog dedicated to Vintage Heuer watches. If you’re into vintage Heuer watches, you might want to check it out. Since my first ‘expensive’ watch, a vintage Heuer Autavia, i’m a huge fan of vintage Heuer watches. Especially their chronographs. The fact they made the first automatic chronograph ever, also adds to my admiration of these watches…. OK, they developed it together with Buren, Breitling and Dubois-Depraz. Although i must admit some of the Heuer dive watches aren’t bad either, i have a thing for chronographs. I ended up buying the diver’s version of the Heuer Autavia ??My vintage Heuer AutaviaUnfortunately my biggest love (in watches), the independent watchmakers, hardly make any chronograph. Of course there are a few… the MIH Watch of course and the Habring2 Chrono COS. Both beautiful chronographs and made by independent watchmakers. Ad - Scroll to co
Oris Aquis Depth Gauge (Specs & Price)
Rumour has it that the Oris Aquis Depth Guage is going to be discontinued soon and that Oris is working on a follow-up timepiece. The original Oris Aquis Depth Gauge remains a quirky, yet emblematic watch and a perfect statement as to why the Holstein-based brand is so popular among watch enthusiasts. The bang-for-buck philosophy, mixed with unconventional yet useful features is a strong selling point. As I recently acquired one for my personal collection, we thought it would be good to offer you a closer look at this cool instrument.Personally, I always liked the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge from the moment it was first released in 2013 in a steel case with a black rubber strap or a matching steel bracelet. A year later this black DLC-coated version was released, this time with a bright yellow rubber strap matching the yellow details on the dial. Compared to the steel one, it featured several other changes that gave it more appeal – to me at least. Even though this is a seven-year-old
