SalonQP Set to Celebrate 10th Anniversary In Style in 2018 - Monochrome Watches
SalonQP is once again getting ready to open its doors in London later this month (22nd - 24th of November). With a new owner at the helm and a revised format planned, it seems the iconic location - London's Saatchi Gallery - is the only thing set to stay the same this year. Many familiar faces will be exhibiting at the event, along with a number of newcomers. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a series of immersive experiences, editorial exhibitions, live talks and exclusive evenings. Best of all, access to SalonQP is free this year. Read on for all the details, including the most up-to-date list available of confirmed brands exhibiting and how to register for your free ticket.Some ContextIt's fair to say that attendees at last year's SalonQP found the show to be a little underwhelming compared to previous years. Isolating a single reason is difficult - arguably there were several – but the overall vibe was just off. This is certainly not something that is unique to SalonQP. Ind

Introducing The Tudor Pelagos FXD And Pelagos FXD Chrono Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition
In 2022, watchmaker Tudor unveiled its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, a contender in the most competitive yacht race in history, the America’s Cup. This was the first time Tudor ventured into the world of competitive yacht racing. But as you know, the brand doesn’t just form partnerships for the sake of advertising. There are, very often, some watches involved. And the result of the collaboration between Tudor and Alinghi is launched today, with a pair of new Pelagos FXD models, including – for the first time – a chronograph fitted into a fixed strap-bars case. Combining a high-tech carbon composite with titanium and stainless steel, just like on an AC75 (America's Cup 75) hydrofoil racing yacht, let’s have a closer look at the new Tudor Pelagos FXD And Pelagos FXD Chrono “Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition”.The Tudor Pelagos FXD is a rather special watch in the brand’s collection. It was first unveiled in late 2021 and built to a

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
