the tingling.... - Monochrome Watches
I guess it’s that time again… the tingling is here again! My beloved 3717 has been on my wrist for some months now and the DJ’s bracelet has been sized to my girlfriends wrist size so it’s itsching again. I noticed i started looking at new option more seriously and making calculations. I was even asking myself the question if i was prepared to get rid of a watch to partially fund something else.Although i’m not unsatisfied with my collection at all i guess seeing a picture of the JLC Extreme World Alarm started something. After that i started looking at another Extreme World, the EWC, i thought this line was rather big and actually too big. I also think i’m a bit fed up with the big-bigger-biggest hype that is going on in watch land. Although i just love the design of the EWC and the Extreme World Alarm from picture a lot, on my wrist is just was to bulky. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

First Look: The Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810 Deep Diver
A deep dive watch from a brand with a name referring to Europe’s highest mountain, specialized in making high-end fountain pens…? Surprising, to say the least. Surely, there’s more to Montblanc than what I just described. Indeed, the brand has long been active in watchmaking, producing appealing dress watches and superb chronographs equipped with Minerva movements. But a deep dive watch, capable of going as deep as the height of the Mont-Blanc mountain? This is new. And that’s not the only thing to know about this Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810.After some years of searching itself, producing classic watches with vintage inspiration and high-complications, but also at some point car-inspired models, tourbillons, world-timers and automatons, the brand has, for the past 2 to 3 years, refocussed its collection with a focus on sports watches inspired by mountaineering – with the 1858 collection. In 2022, Montblanc decided to explore new territories, somehow the op
