A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition - Full Review with tons of Photos, Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
The A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition is yet another example of the superlative chronographs, developed by the Haute Horlogerie brand from Glashutte, Germany. We were recently given the opportunity to test and wear the watch for a couple of weeks. To cut a long story short: we loved it. As we have already introduced the watch to you,?in this article we will focus mainly on the chronograph movement, more specifically its characteristics, what distinguishes it from other chronograph movements, and how it actually?works. It looks great, yes, but what is what, and what does what? What is the purpose of all those wheels, levers, bridges and springs? Read on to learn how a chronograph actually works.?The Lange 1815The 1815 family of watches is one of the 5 families of the A. Lange & Sohne collection.

Weekly Watch Photo - Cartier Tank Cintree - Monochrome Watches
The Cartier forum @ Revo-Online keeps coming with very interesting stories about Cartier’s overwhelming history of wrist watches. And in the mean time they add a load of historical information and gorgeous photos…Like the new story about the evolution from the Cartier Tank Cintree to the new Tank Americaine Flying Tourbillon. Cartier first released a Cintree in 1921 and it’s a very elegant and slim wrist watch. The Cintree was available in several variations throughout the past 90 years, but has never been produced in large numbers, hence they are very sought-after. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Moderator GEO describes how and why the design evolved from the sleek and elegant Cintree to the Tank Americaine. This model was released in 1989 and produced in larger numbers. While maintaining much of the Cintree-DNA, the Tank Americaine had a
Hands-on with the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Bronze 45mm (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Bronze… Not your typical material for a watch – and especially when it comes to a pilot watch. Bronze had been used several times in watchmaking but it makes more sense on a dive watch (even if, to be true, bronze remains quite an odd choice for a timepiece. We’ll get back on the reasons why later in this article). When you think bronze, you immediately?think Panerai but other brands used it (like IWC with the Aquatimer). Now it’s Zenith’s turn to introduce a watch made in this green metal. It’s a pilot watch, it’s big but it looks really cool. Here is the?Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Bronze 45mm.The Zenith Pilot Type 20 became, among all the pilot-oriented watches, quite an icon and an easily recognizable timepiece. Even if it shares many of the classical pilot-style attributes, the Type 20 (nothing to do with the Breguet Type XX?but it’s rather link to a specific serial number of an instrument dedicated to the French Navy) has its
All You Need To Know: Polo, Clare Mountbatten and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso - Monochrome Watches
Polo (on a horse that is), has a mysterious allure. One of exclusivity and physical bravery. The ultimate sporting expression of man and beast working in perfect synergy. For those who don't play (and I count myself in that group), the sport of kings is also devilishly difficult to understand. And when I say that, it's not just the game itself that's hard to grasp - it's the culture, the financing and playing calendar that baffles.When it comes to watches – a subject I am more comfortable with – the link between polo and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is inextricable. But to fully appreciate the watch and its historical significance it almost seems wrong to not be able to really understand the sport. And for that reason, I sat down with a woman as qualified as any to take us through the basics: Clare Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven to give her full name. Clare is a Jaeger-LeCoultre ambassador and one of the most well-known faces in British polo. She took up the spor
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Green Dial - Hands-On, Specs & Price
Since its introduction about a year ago, ?the PRX (and specifically the Powermatic 80 automatic model), Tissot’s vision of the 1970s sports watch with integrated bracelet, has been a huge hit. And rightfully so, since it offers the flair of some of the most iconic watches of this genre with a very satisfying execution and a fair price. The PRX Powermatic 80 was initially offered in black, blue or silver with waffle dials?and later in steel-and-gold editions. There’s even a PRX Chronograph now in the collection. But today, Tissot goes back to the classic version and adds a trendy touch of colour, resulting in a version that is bound to be another success, the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Green Dial.?The inaugural PRX Powermatic 80 collection, with silver dial (with PVD gold bezel), and classic black or blue versions.Basically not much has changed compared to the watch we reviewed in March 2021. What made the Tissot PRX a success back then is still very much alive today, with onl
