Introducing The New Black/Gold Audemars Piguet ROO Chronograph
It’s hard to believe, but the Royal Oak Offshore is coming up for its 30th birthday this year. Presented by Audemars Piguet in 1993 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak in a bolder, more virile format, the Royal Oak Offshore, aka The Beast, made an indelible impression on the crowds at Baselworld. Its muscular 42mm case bristling with textures and bold combinations of materials included an exposed black rubber gasket between the case and the bezel. The latest facelift took place in 2021, resulting in a more ergonomic 43mm case, interchangeable straps and the incorporation of the brand’s latest integrated flyback chronograph movement, calibre 4401. Dressed in a handsome John Player Special livery, this 43mm Royal Oak Offshore ref. 26420CE?comes in a black ceramic case with striking 18k yellow gold accents.Two-Tone CaseComplying with the design upgrades of 2021, the 43mm black ceramic case features the redesigned pushers nestled inside matte yellow gold struct

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Tantalum Only Watch 2021
Bvlgari will be participating for the first time in the Only Watch auction in Geneva on Saturday, 6 November 2021. Held every two years, Only Watch auctions unique timepieces to fund research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The watch Bvlgari will be donating is an exceptional version of its Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar. Released earlier this year, the Octo Finissimo is the world's thinnest QP and marks Bvlgari's seventh record in the arena of ultra-thin watches. To mark the occasion, the 2.75mm thin automatic QP movement is housed in a 5.80mm case made of rare tantalum, a beguiling metal that is resistant to corrosion, biocompatible, twice as heavy as steel and twice as hard as titanium.Bvlgari's 7 ultra-thin record breakersIt might be Olympic season, but nothing can eclipse the seven gold medals Bvlgari has taken home for its ultra-thin Octo Finissimo watches since 2014. Ultra-thin movements, considered an art in themselves, are devilishly difficult to create and mastered by ju

First Look: The New IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41 (Incl. Video)
IWC's stellar piece for Watches & Wonders is the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar, the first complication to join the family since it was revamped in 2023. What's more, the 41mm Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar is the first stainless steel model at IWC to bear the names of two legends in the world of watchmaking. Evoking the imprint of Gerald Genta's 1976 design for the Ingenieur, the watch is powered by the famous perpetual calendar module developed by Kurt Klaus for the brand.Sometimes, moving forward in the watch world means going back in time. A good case in point is IWC's Ingenieur, which was revisited in 2023 to rekindle the spirit of Gerald Genta's 1976 design. The Ingenieur was released in the mid-1950s as a classic-looking tool watch fitted with a soft-iron cage to protect the movement from magnetism. Having produced designs for the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, Genta's vision for IWC's watch materialised in 1976 as the Ingenieur SL Jumbo Automatic 1832 with a round, chunky 40mm cas

Capturing The Ocean's Energy, With Six Watches With Wavey Dials - Monochrome Watches
Dial textures can make or break a watch, but if done right they elevate the display of time into something gripping, something very impactful. One of the more common but always interesting textures, especially in aquatic (-inspired) watches, is the wave pattern. Sure, Clous de Paris or vertical or horizontal grooves are often very nice, but there’s something rather appealing in replicating the gentle undulations of the ocean. And that isn’t relegated to pure dive watches, as more sporty land-locked alternatives or even seriously complicated watches are adorned with waves. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best! And yes, I am well aware of the fact the list includes two (soon-to-be) sold-out limited editions, but they’re just too good to be ignored.?Omega Seamaster 300M No-DateOf course, we had to start with the long-awaited but secretly already revealed Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date. It was teased on Daniel Craig’s wrist numerous tim
