Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon in Titanium - REVIEW (Photos, Specs & Price) - Monochrome Watches
At the Monochrome desks we see many impressive timepieces, and we even have the good fortune to get to wear many of them for some weeks. Each and every of them excels in its own field, however if we don’t like it, we don’t write about it. That’s our our own rule. When we had the chance to review the Lange & Sohne Datograph and Double Split or the JLC Master Ultra-Thin there was no sign of hesitation or doubt and we wholeheartedly and immediately agreed to do a review. However when we got the chance to review the Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, there was a brief hesitation. As said… it was brief, and very soon made place for tremendous delight.Roger Dubuis is not know for being discrete or modest in its looks. Except perhaps the La Monegasque collection?that was introduced in 2011, however all other collections are quite distinct. And so is the watch at hand today. At least that’s what I thought at first, however soon I found out that t
IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph IW377724 With New Dial (Specs & Price)
In 2017, IWC took us by surprise when presenting the desirable, vintage-inspired and definitely cool?Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII Edition Tribute to Mark XI. Now, it’s time for the Schaffhausen-based brand to focus on the chronograph version of this watch and to apply the same recipe: baton hands, faux-patine markers, cleaner dial and fabric strap. And if the 3-hander was mimicking the Mark XI, the new?IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377724 is reminiscent of one of the coolest 1990s watches, the?Fliegerchronograph ref. 3706.The?Fliegerchronograph 3705 and 3706 are important watches in IWC’s history, as they marked the comeback of the brand in the field of mechanical pilot watches. Over 20 years ago, these 39mm watches, with Valjoux-based chonograph movements were a sort of renaissance of the proper tool watch and for this reason, they are some of the coolest “young-timers” we can think of. And guess what? IWC has decided to create a watch that looks like these
Hands-On - Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Qualite Fleurier (Specs & Price)
At the SIHH 2018, Parmigiani Fleurier re-introduced one of its most emblematic models, the Kalpa. A shaped watch, it was originally introduced back in 2001 and, thanks to its bold and unique design, guided by ergonomics, it became a signature model in the collection. After three inaugural refreshed watches in January, the brand expands the range with a new, simpler time-and-date version – but it has a lot more to tell, with some serious certifications. Meet the new?Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Qualite Fleurier.For two years now, Parmigiani Fleurier has been reinterpreting its classics. This strategy started with the re-introduction in 2017 of Michel Parmigiani’s very first creation, the Toric. At the SIHH 2018, it was the turn of another well-known and iconic model, the Kalpa. This tonneau-shaped watch, with a bold, rather baroque design was immediately recognisable as part of the PF family. The new collection takes advantage of its unique shape and improved comfort, quality a
2020 TAG Heuer Aquaracer 43mm Calibre 5 Tortoise Shell Effect

Summer is a time for casual styles and today, TAG Heuer introduces something new and original. Probably not a watch made for hardcore enthusiasts, but at least the brand dares to create something novel. Meet the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer 43mm Calibre 5 Automatic with ‘Tortoise Shell Effect’ bezels.The Aquaracer is TAG Heuer’s vision of an aquatic timepiece, a no-nonsense and relatively simple dive watch with a design inspired by the Heuer 2000 and recognizable thanks to its angular bezel with 12-sided profile and its dial with horizontal grooves. This watch, which strays far from the usual motorsport-inspired creations of the brand, is also TAG’s vehicle for design experimentations with colourful dials or unusual textures. And the base itself is a reliable, rob
