SIHH 2018 - Vanessa Monestel of Laurent Ferrier, On The New Collection - Monochrome Watches
We are already well over half-way through SIHH 2018 and there's still much, much more to come in our comprehensive coverage of the Fair. If you've been following along, you would have already seen our video interviews with the likes of Wilhelm Schmid of A. Lange & Sohne and Christian Selmoni of Vacheron Constantin. Now, we are speaking to Vanessa Monestel, CEO of Laurent Ferrier, about the brand's sleeper hit of the fair, the exceptional Galet Annual Calendar Montre Ecole.With a focus on clean design, legibility and ease of use, this new Annual Calendar watch is sure to quickly find favour with Laurent Ferrier's legion of dedicated collectors. It also happens to house the independent manufacturer's fifth in-house movement, an exceptionally impressive achievement for any brand, made all the more so by the fact that it includes a particularly practical complication. As you would expect, the watch displays the day of the week, the date and months with 30 and 31 days - meaning that onl
Auction - The Pink Dial Project for Breast Cancer Awareness
Watches and charity… When there’s a good cause, many watch brands don’t hesitate long and donate one of their, often unique, creations. Earlier this year, Wei Koh, founder of Revolution magazine and The Rake, reached out to join forces in order to raise money for breast cancer. He baptized this the Pink Dial Project. Nineteen brands have donated watches and the auction started a few days ago, on October 25th. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the auction to raise funds for Breast Cancer treatment, research and awareness is ending this weekend, on Sunday the 31st of October.?Every two years, we see how watch brands participate and donate for a good cause, with the Only Watch auction. This year, again, the line-up of remarkable, impressive and uber-impressive watches is just mind-boggling. Every two years the Only Watch auction raises millions! In early 2020, Andrew from Time + Tide Watches quickly organized the Watch & Act! auctio
Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1R
If the most important Patek Philippe novelties will be unveiled in a few days, the brand kicks off Watches & Wonders 2021 with the presentation of several new Nautilus, including the stunning green edition of the 5711A and, also pretty spectacular, a new rose gold and blue sunburst dial combination for the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990.?Introduced in 2014 to replace the Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1A (itself originally presented in 2006), the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990 combines three practical complications: a flyback chronograph, a dual time-zone and a date indication (coupled with local time). The model had been launched in steel with a gradient grey dial. The reference 5990/1R-001 in rose gold now joins the collection.

2022 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonshine Gold - Hands-On, Price
The classic Moonwatch by Omega is one of the most iconic and laureled chronograph watches in history. It is forever intertwined with the Apollo space missions, the moon landing and NASA. But since the 1970s, the Speedmaster has made it into a full-blown collection and remains one of the pillars for Omega. New for 2022 is the introduction of two 18k Moonshine gold models, one in deep green, and one with a black-and-gold Panda dial. Here are the two Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonshine Gold.We're not going to spend too much going through the entire history of the Speedmaster, as we've already shared the story in previous in-depth articles (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). Instead, we dive straight in with these two novelties and the special alloy used by Omega. Moonshine gold is a proprietary alloy with a pale, yellow-ish shine that’s said to evoke the lunar glow set against a deep blue sky. It joins the 18k Sedna Gold and 18k Canopus Gold models released in previous years. Moonshine Gold
Capturing The Ocean's Energy, With Six Watches With Wavey Dials - Monochrome Watches
Dial textures can make or break a watch, but if done right they elevate the display of time into something gripping, something very impactful. One of the more common but always interesting textures, especially in aquatic (-inspired) watches, is the wave pattern. Sure, Clous de Paris or vertical or horizontal grooves are often very nice, but there’s something rather appealing in replicating the gentle undulations of the ocean. And that isn’t relegated to pure dive watches, as more sporty land-locked alternatives or even seriously complicated watches are adorned with waves. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best! And yes, I am well aware of the fact the list includes two (soon-to-be) sold-out limited editions, but they’re just too good to be ignored.?Omega Seamaster 300M No-DateOf course, we had to start with the long-awaited but secretly already revealed Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date. It was teased on Daniel Craig’s wrist numerous tim
