Unusual… that’s probably the best word for a watch with a red dial. In this case however it’s not only unusual, but also very cool! The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge looks cool and sophisticated.?I have to admit that I’m kind of conservative when choosing a watch for my own wrist. The Hautlence HL Ti 02?is an exception, although its design looks kind of futuristic,?it still features a monochrome color scheme and no wild and colorful dial.

Column - Red Rover... TAG Heuer to team up with China Space Agency for Mars Exploration - Monochrome Watches
When I bought my Omega Speedmaster X-33 many moons ago, it was a shoe-in for the first watch to Mars – at the time it was the only watch qualified for missions to Mars.

Space - the final frontier (just now 14 undiscovered species of fish groan in unison). There was the first watch worn around the world. The first watch worn in outer-space.

Introducing: The Denim Blue Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time 5164G

While many Patek fans mourned the discontinuation of the 5164A stainless steel Aquanaut earlier this year, the new white gold reference – a first for this model –? is a handsome addition to the family and sits alongside the existing rose gold ref. 5164R.Introduced in 1997, the Aquanaut proved that there was life beyond the mythical Nautilus sports watch. Sportier and more casual than the Nautilus, the Aquanaut was conceived as a multipurpose sports watch and featured a textured tropical rubber strap echoing the embossed pattern of the dial.

This watch, the Patek Philippe 5204R Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar, already in the collection with two other references, is now released in a new combination of rose gold with a slate grey dial.Under this new 5204R-011 is a mighty, complex watch that sits on top of the range of the hand-wound chronographs by Patek Philippe.
