While Hublot celebrates 10 years of the iconic Big Bang line with a series of 10 unique Haute Joaillerie Big Bang Unico creations priced at 1 million USD each, they are also releasing a new Big Bang Ferrari Speciale model which is definitely more suited for everyday wear. Available in two editions, black ceramic with red, white and blue details, or grey ceramic with grey and white details, it pays tribute to one of the very best of the Cavalino Rampante's creations: the Ferrari 458 Speciale.The Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Speciale Ceramic, in either of the two color options is still a very outspoken watch, not in the least bit due to its size. It is not something for gents who prefer to fly under the radar. When compared to the car it is linked to, this shouldn't be a problem since both are quite ostentatious creations?in their own right.

Buying Guide - Best Accessible Watches Under 2,500 Euros of Baselworld 2019
With the Swatch Group gone from Baselworld 2019, the “Value Proposition” category, meaning watches under EUR 2,500, has been seriously affected. Brands like Tissot, Mido, Hamilton or Longines usually perform well in this segment. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean we haven’t seen some cool things at Baselworld this year (and around the fair too). Here are the best accessible watches we spotted in March – all priced under 2.5K, and because you’re reading MONOCHROME, they all feature a mechanical movement.Doxa SUB 200 130th AnniversaryDoxa is mainly known for its rugged, cushion-shaped dive watches, inspired by the original 1960s SUB 300. Reducing the brand to only this watch would be sad, and as it celebrates its 130th anniversary this year, Doxa is about to re-edit more of its past glories. At Baselworld 2019, there was an insanely cool full gold SUB 200 Chronograph (insanely expensive too) and on the other side of the spectrum is this “bang for t
SIHH 2015 - Richard Mille RM 19-02 Tourbillon Fleur - hands-on with live photos & specs - Monochrome Watches
Richard Mille have once again astounded the industry - this time with a new ladies watch, the RM 19-02 Tourbillon Fleur. Automaton? Poetic Complication? Call it what you will - it is a stunner.Last year had its fair share of floral themed ladies watches, including Breguet's Secret de la Reine, a particularly eye-pleasing Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye model complete with an embroidery-like peony motif on its dial and of course, the Christophe Claret Margot watch which proposed to answer the romantic quandary of He loves me. He loves me not.Now Richard Mille have brought a floral design to their ladies collection, with a piece which provides its wearer with a mesmerising mechanical spectacle - but, despite its delicate artisan aesthetics it has still been built using the same cutting-edge materials and technology which characterise every watch which bears the Richard Mille marque and it is therefore as tough as old boots too.

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Split-Seconds Chrono
In 2015, with the presentation of the reference 57260, Vacheron Constantin sent a message to the watchmaking industry by stealing the title of the ‘most complicated watch’ from Patek Philippe. Today, Vacheron Constantin introduces its most complicated wristwatch to date, officially fitted with 24 complications – a response to Patek’s GrandMaster Chime with 20 complications? Of course, it would be hard to state that one watch is better or more complex than the other; one complication does not necessarily equal another complication, and to be honest, it does not really matter But still, the introduction of such a complex watch marks an exciting moment in watchmaking.?The creation of such complex timepieces, with multiple functions and displays, is always an event in itself and an authentic challenge that only a very exclusive group of brands is capable of undertaking. The Vacheron Constantin Grand Complication Split-Seconds Chronograph – Tempo is a beast of
