Found - A Habring2 Monopusher Chronograph Japan Edition Black Dial
Habring2 is a brand that is special on many levels. Not only is it one of the rare manufactures to produce mechanical watches in Austria, but it is also the shared vision of a couple, Maria and Richard, some of the most pleasant and passionate people we know. And of course, the independent watchmaker is also known for making cool, finely crafted and creative watches – with a focus on chronographs and dead-beat seconds. Among these watches, there’s one that has to be seen as extremely desirable, the Habring2 Monopusher Chronograph Japan Edition, a rare watch retailed exclusively through a Tokyo-based retailer… And one of these superb models just appeared for sale.?Habring2 is the result of a shared vision between husband-and-wife Richard and Maria, founders of a small independent watchmaking atelier that, over the years, has gained great respect and fame. Born in 2004, Habring2 is not your typical, ultra-famous and demonstrative brand. It comes from Austria, from the s

Omega Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm
Earlier this year, Omega revived one of its iconic watches, the 1980s-inspired Constellation watch with its characteristic case shape, its bezel with claws and a trendy integrated bracelet or strap. Based on the bold Constellation ‘Manhattan’ concept, the 2020 models brought a cleaner design, some textured dials and mostly a mechanical update with Master Chronometer movements. Available in 39mm until now, the brand adds new 41mm models to the collection, with a slightly sportier look and an even more powerful movement. Overview of the new Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm.The evolution of a 1980s iconEven though the Omega Constellation started out life as a gent's chronometer in 1952, as we explained in this in-depth story here, a strong shift in style occurred in 1982 with the launch of the ‘Manhattan’ family, introducing an entirely new profile for this watch – a style typical of the 1980s. Still powered by quartz movements, the distinctive

The hour indication is not just a 12-hour indication, it immediately makes clear wether it’s day or night.I guess it’s safe to assume that you know the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec by now and if not, please check out the review that I did (click here). A perfect all-round timepiece with an almost excessive amount of class and elegance. And more-over it really is an all-round timepiece, as it tells hours, minutes, day/night, day of the week, date and has a mono-pusher chronograph!

TAG Heuer to reintroduce the Autavia in 2017... And you'll be able to vote to choose which model will be reissued, with the Autavia Cup - Monochrome Watches
A brand that is about to reissue one of its iconic models isn’t a novelty. Vintage is one of the main inspirations of watchmaking since a decade or so. What isn’t really surprising is that?TAG Heuer will reintroduce the Autavia in 2017. What is really new and unique is that you’ll be able to vote to know which Autavia TAG Heuer will make a comeback in 2017. This idea is called the?Autavia Cup and it simply rocks.“This is an original project, a community initiative, a spontaneous consultative approach with customers, collectors, enthusiasts, boutique clients, etc. A first among watchmaking brands in terms of preserving and showcasing their heritage” says TAG Heuer.

The Return of ochs und junior anno Annual Calendar
As any watchmaker or designer knows, simplicity is devilishly complex. And when it comes to simplifying a complication like an annual calendar, this exercise requires great ingenuity. If there is one figure on the current watchmaking scene capable of pulling off an annual calendar of such radical minimalism, inventiveness and intuitiveness, it is Dr Ludwig Oechslin. The annual calendar complication, known as the ochs line anno, is not a novelty, but it now moves from the limited, customisable department to a serial production piece, like the settimana raw and the mese. Translated, that means that there will be more anno-annual calendars on the market, and even better, the price drops from around CHF 8,000 to just above CHF 5,000 for a serially produced model. Available in two coloured options and an almost all-black model, the new ochs und junior anno comes in 42mm titanium cases.Elementary, my dear LudwigLudwig Oechslin (1952), former curator of the Musee international d'horlogerie (M
