Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph with Minerva Chronograph Movement (Specs & Price)
Back in 2014, right after Jer?me Lambert was appointed CEO of the brand (and?who is now COO of almost all the Maisons at Richemont Group), Montblanc introduced the Heritage collection?– a line-up of classical, elegant watches with a clear vintage appeal, in both the design and the use of complications. There was some Minerva inspiration, yet with the usual “affordability” the brand is known for. Alongside the below-10k perpetual calendar (a watch that sounded like a blast at that time) was another watch, the?Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph,?and here, it’s not only inspired by Minerva, but features true Minerva watchmaking skills. Why talk about this watch today? Well, just look at the photos and you’ll understand. A throwback to this watch is for pleasure only…When he joined Montblanc in 2013, Lambert infused a new energy into the brand. First of all was the concept of “accessible luxury“, so dear to him (he started it at JLC, but re
Patek Philippe ref. 5004T Split-Seconds Perpetual Calendar in Titanium for Only Watch 2013 - Monochrome Watches
The biennial?Only Watch charity watch auction, to be held in Monaco on September 28, will donate all its ?proceeds to research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Many watch brands donate a piece unique for this auction and we will be showing you all these unique watches here on Monochrome. First and foremost is a piece unique from Patek Philippe, ref. 5004T, which is the fourth known Patek in titanium!The timepieces that Patek Philippe donates to Only Watch have always fetched the highest bids and we wouldn’t be surprised if this Patek will break another record. Not only is it the fourth Patek in titanium, ever to be made, it is also a ref. 5004 that is not in the current collection anymore, so it might be considered a last chance for collectors to buy this desirable timepiece. The ref. 5004T features a Split-Seconds Chronograph and a Perpetual Calendar. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Introducing: The New 47mm Panerai Luminor Tre Giorni PAM01628
Panerai starts the new year by releasing a watch that perfectly encapsulates the brand¡äs philosophy and style – staying true to its storied watchmaking heritage blended with modern construction. The latest Luminor reference delivers everything loyal Panerai enthusiasts anticipate while incorporating subtle design updates to set it apart from previous models. True to the brand's identity, the watch is huge, minimalist and highly functional, and not at all devout of a certain elegance.

The Petrolhead Corner - Rob Dickinson of Singer Vehicle Design, The Most Amazing Restomod Porsche 911s
Today we're talking with Rob Dickinson, founder and creative director of Singer Vehicle Design and co-founder for watch brand Singer Reimagined. When we were preparing to film a video interview with Rob, some two years ago, I knew about the Singer Reimagined Track 1, that super cool chronograph featuring Jean-Marc Wiederecht's innovative chronograph calibre. But that was it, so I “Googled” him and found out that Rob used to be the lead singer and guitar player of a band that I listened to a lot. I still vividly remember a concert of his band, Catherine Wheel, back in 1990 or 1991, when they played together with the Smashing Pumpkins and support act, The Verve. So, shortly before filming that video interview about Singer Reimagined, we talked music and days gone by.?Later we also talked cars, of course! I'm a watch guy, but I'm also a car guy. Like watches, I prefer cars with mechanical content, a petrol engine and not too many batteries. And that's exactly what Rob and his

Certina chronograph from the 1940s – the new Certina DS Powermatics borrow certain vintage codes of the chronograph and are fitted with the modern and robust Swatch Group Powermatic 80 movement. And in keeping with the brand's commitment to offering robust quality at competitive prices, the price of the new Certina DS Powermatic watches is very attractive.Double SecurityDS at Certina stands for double security, a concept introduced by the brand in 1959 to make watches more resilient, reliable and water-resistant? What might seem like givens today were, in fact, quite novel in the late 1950s. Like the hard shell of a turtle (adopted as the brand logo in 1960), the idea behind the double security was to protect the mech
