For once, this won’t a product-related news – understand here, the launch of a new watch – that we will share with you. Instead, we’ll look at the other side of the industry: suppliers. Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, one of the most respected movement constructors of the Swiss industry, indeed unveils an integrated high-frequency column-wheel chronograph, the calibre Seed VMF 6710. And it truly is quite an interesting movement, to say the least.The chronograph is, without doubt, one of the most popular complications. It's also one of the complications that can be used on a daily basis, however, what most people do not realize, is that it is among the most complex mechanisms to design and manufacture.?Chronograph?movements are rare birds.

Introducing the Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph French LE
The connection between classic cars and Chopard isn't to be demonstrated anymore. Beyond the brand's co-CEO passion for vintage automobiles, the brand has been associated with the emblematic Mille Miglia race since 1988. In the frame of this partnership, Chopard developed a dedicated collection of racing chronographs, with now 35 years of history under the hood. Now, in the context of one of the largest classic car shows in Europe, Retromobile, Chopard presents its latest creation, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph French Limited Edition. The Mille Miglia, an iconic open-road endurance race spanning approximately 1,500km from Brescia to Rome and back, was established in 1927 by Count Mazzotti and Count Maggi. Legend has it that their dissatisfaction with the relocation of the Italian Grand Prix from Brescia to Monza spurred the inception of this legendary event. In 1988, Chopard lent its support to the revived (since 1977) Mille Miglia race for cars constructe

Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5mm (Specs & Price)
The Aquis is, without doubt, one of the most accomplished and acclaimed collections by Oris. A modern, robust and well-equipped dive watch, it has long been available with an outsourced automatic movement by Sellita. Yet, Oris had different plans and recently introduced a manufacture movement to offer watch enthusiasts more power, higher accuracy, more reliability and magnetic resistance. This engine, the Calibre 400, was first introduced in late 2020 into the larger 43.5mm edition of the Aquis. And now, for 2021, it finds its way in a more compact edition of this watch inside the Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5mm Collection, in three different colours.At first, not much appears to have changed with these new models. The Aquis Date remains almost identical visually. A watch that has been in the collection for many years, it was revamped in 2017 with a slightly more refined and modernised design.
