Buying Guide - 5 Cool Watches with Blue Dial Recently Launched
Forest, olive, khaki, pine, emerald… Green is everywhere and is, without a doubt, the main trend for 2020 and 2021. But as with all trends, they come and go. And, let’s be honest, while there can be some very cool green models – I see you 5711 Olive Green?and 15202 Smoked Green – this colour isn’t the easiest to wear on a daily basis and to match with a classic outfit. And, it will most probably become outdated in a few. So, for those who still want a bit of colour and more originality than classic black or silver dial, yet with a timeless look that won’t become obsolete, blue remains the best option possible. Here are 5 watches with blue dials that have been launched recently.The Pilot – Fortis Flieger F-39 Midnight BlueWhen you think about a pilot’s watch, you’ll probably have a black dial in mind. Surely, it does make sense regarding legibility, as these watches are all about contrast. But since most of us do not wear these watch
Industry Geneva Watch Days 2022 dates announced
For the third year in a row, the Geneva Watch Days will be combining physical meetings in the heart of Geneva with a multi-platform digital presence. In the context of the global pandemic that hit the world, their decentralized, “phygital” format proved to be perfectly adapted to the times. The 2022 edition of the Geneva Watch Days is shaping up to be more open, engaging and inclusive than ever. The team behind the Geneva Watch Days has just announced the dates for the 2022 edition, set to be hosted from August 29th to September 1st.Following the success of the previous two editions, the founding brands of Bulgari, Breitling, De Bethune, Gerald Genta, H.

The SIHH 2017 Open to the Public and with more brands (incl. Girard-Perregaux and Ulysse Nardin) according to Fabienne Lupo - Monochrome Watches
Until 2015, the SIHH, Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, organized by the FHH (Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie) was opened only to 16 brands, mostly the Richmont Group (Cartier, JLC, IWC) and a few friends of the group (Parmigiani, Audemars or Greubel). In 2016, 9 new independent brands came to join the show in the Carre des Horlogers (MB&F, Urwerk, Laurent Ferrier). For 2017, in a context that will certainly not be highly?enthusiastic, SIHH will again evolve, by opening to public for the first time and by welcoming 7 new brands (2 international ones and 5 new independents).In an interview given to Le Temps (see here, in French), Fabienne Lupo, the President of the Fondation?de la Haute Horlogerie, gives a few indications on the future of the SIHH. First of all, the show, which was only opened to retailers and journalists, will now open its doors to public visitors, on the Friday 20th of January 2017 – the SIHH will be open for the usual retailers and journalists fr
Baltic Aquascaphe Diver / Value Proposition Review (Specs & Price)
After successfully funding its first collection via Kickstarter, Baltic Watches has managed to stand the test of time and to survive this inaugural series of watches. Even better, the small concept became a brand and has started to expand its collection – and there are many more watches to come (but we can’t tell you yet…) Today, we look at what Etienne Malec has created as his second model, a great-looking, still accessible, no-nonsense tool dive watch with vintage inspiration; the Baltic Aquascaphe Diver.ConceptBaltic Watches is the brainchild of Etienne Malec, a young Frenchman who has inherited his father's passion for watches – something he shared with us already, some years ago. An avid collector, his father spent years putting together a collection of exceptional timepieces, some of which have inspired the designs of Baltic's first two models. Sadly though, Etienne's father passed away when Etienne was still quite young and so they were never able to trul

Vacheron Constantin celebrates their 260th anniversary and for this occasion, they created the most complicated watch in the world (say that out loud like Jeremy Clarkson would do). With no less than 57 complications (that’s no typo, it is indeed fifty-seven!) it outpaces?crushes the former most complicated watch, Patek Philippe’s Calibre 89 that features 33 complications. The list of complications alone is something you could study on (try memorising all 57), because there are quite a few entirely new complications that have never been created in the history of watchmaking. We’re going to show you the various complications, logically grouped, and explained with illustrations; here’s the Vacheron Constantin?Reference 57260 pocket watch.The Vacheron Constantin Ref.57260 with 57 complications, crushes the former world-record of 33 complicationsUnlike the previous ‘most complicated’ watch, which was introduced as a commemorative watch to celebrate the b
