The Petrolhead Corner: The EV-Swapped Electrogenic Mazda MX-5
EVs are booming at the moment, and I’ve said before they are here to stay. But, I say this again too; they are a part of the solution to a global problem, but not the?solution. And whenever it involves adding extra doses of fun into cars or preserving classics for future generations, we can certainly get behind the EV movement. Heck, with companies like The Land Rovers and AC Cars taking on the challenge of converting icons such as the Defender and AC Ace to electric drive, we’re not complaining. It’s a way to keep them on the road, despite ever-stringent emissions regulations and whatnot. So, when the news of a do-it-yourself EV-conversion kit for the mighty Mazda MX-5 (or Miata for our US readers) we certainly took notice!?a modern-day iconThe MX-5 or Miata by Mazda has always been a prime example of a fun car. A 50-50 weight distribution, rear-wheel drive, an open-top driving experience, a good bit of power but nothing crazy, and solid reliability pretty much made
Introducing: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Dark Grey GMT
Without a doubt the most contemporary collection of dive watches by Omega, the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is a strong model devoted to performance, mixing luxurious elements with all the necessary features you’ll need in a deep dive watch. This highly modern intention, which separates it from the classic Diver 300M or the vintage-inspired Seamaster 300, is mostly seen in the use of innovative materials. The collection now expands with the use of an unprecedented type of ceramic, a.k.a silicon nitride ceramic [Si3N4], resulting in the introduction of this light, robust, bold and monochromatic Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey GMT.While at first identical in design and features to the Planet Ocean Deep Black, already an oversized ceramic diver with additional GMT complication, the new Planet Ocean Dark Grey introduces a new compound for its case and other elements of the habillage, a ceramic known as silicon nitride ceramic or Si3N4. It is the first time this specific ceramic

Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier - A Look Behind-The-Scenes Of The Watch Industry - Monochrome Watches
Over the last few years, we have reviewed quite a few brands and their manufactures. From the largest ones, for instance those owned by groups like Swatch Group, Richemont or LVMH, to the smallest ateliers of independent watchmakers. Recently, we had the opportunity to visit another type of manufacture, one that is not part of a brand but rather a supplier. The name is probably familiar to you already as they are one of the most prominent high-grade movement makers for third-parties; Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier.Vertical integration has been one of the major drivers of the watch industry over the past several years. Groups and brands have invested massively in their production tools to support their upmarket efforts and secure sourcing. The words In-house and manufacture seem to be on every one's lips these days, however, the realty is somewhat different. This is a good thing because, although in-house often lays the foundation for quality, mastery and creativity, it is not an end in a

The PRS 516 is one of the most enduring collections of?Tissot, having been introduced first in 1965, following the needs for racing drivers to have a reliable and legible watch.

Modern PRS 516 watches are clearly not playing on the vintage side of things, with large and sporty designs, yet stay true to the original inspiration of motorsport. This year, the PRS 516 Automatic Chronograph is going under a serious update, with fresh new looks that greatly differ from what we’ve been used to see in the past.?Tissot has a long tradition of sports timing and, as such, racing has long been a topic of choice for the brand.
