The return of the Eberhard Scafograf 300 - overview of an Iconic dive watch - Monochrome Watches
Eberhard occupies a great chapter in the history of the Swiss watch industry. However, it belongs to a segment rather obscure and less known from a wider audience. A segment which contains companies likes Venus, Martel, Leonidas, Lemania, Minerva, Excelsior Park, Gallet, Nivada, to name a few but a few that were right from the start instrumental for producing calibres and watches that have propelled, as a whole, the Swiss watch industry unequivocally to its current leading position. So it is quite excited that we're about to explain the return of the Eberhard Scafograf 300, one of the less known but still iconic dive watch.History and Milestones of the Eberhard ScafografFounded in 1887 by Georges Eberhard, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Eberhard & Co started to produce watches and quickly, it was right at the very edge of creativity. In 1935, innovation centred on the double pulsating chronograph, offering the stop and start functions without having to reset to zero; in 1938, the launch of
Pre SIHH 2012 - Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometrea Quantieme Lunaire 40.5 - Monochrome Watches
In 2010 Jaege-LeCoultre introduced the Duometre?¨¤ Quantieme Luniare, which became immediately populair amongst watch fans and it was even chosen as Timezone Watch of the Year 2010. Now Jaeger-LeCoultre releases a new version… It’s called the Duometrea Quanteme Luniare 40.5. From its name (and specifications) we can conclude it now comes in a more elegant size. The previous model was 42 mm in diameter and?the new one is 40.5 mm. Is Jaeger-LeCoultre setting the trend for down-sizing? And what more did they change on this new Duometre? Ad - Scroll to continue with article First and foremost I think it’s good to take note that JLC already started with down-sizing with 2011 novelties?like the Master Geographic and the Master Ultra Thin (MUT) Moon. Many watch fans, aficionados and collectors have been longing for the moment the trend of ‘big, b
Pre SIHH 2015: The new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic - Monochrome Watches
Shortly before Christmas, and also shortly before the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie starts. This means that we get to show you more novelties, and today we get to show you the newest IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic: a?classically styled, hand-wound, dress watch. Although that might sound boring for some, we suggest to take a closer look because it’s an IWC, and there some typical IWC ingredients as well.IWC’s Portofino collection?is a clean, simple and lovely balanced collection. No loud colours, no crazy design. However the size of pretty much all models in this collection was quite… manly. The diameter of most all models are?42mm or 45mm,?except?the Portofino Automatic that measures a modest 40mm in diameter. Just a few months ago IWC added no less than?20 new models?of more discrete dimensions?that comprise both Portofino Automatic models (40mm) and a new mid-size models that measure 36mm. The newest addition to the collection is the IWC Portofin
Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Pink Gold Slate Dial (Specs & Price)
The?Malte?has always had a special position in the Vacheron?Constantin collection, featuring?something that seems?to have largely disappeared nowadays: a?shaped case. Indeed, the Malte relies on a certain Art-Deco flair, an?outdated style that gives the watch all its charm. But this timepiece?is not just a pretty face, inside the case is an exquisitely finished (to say the least) tourbillon movement. And now, its 18k pink gold case has?been combined with?a dark grey dial, for a warmer look. Here is the?Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Pink Gold Slate Dial.The?Vacheron Constantin Malte makes?quite a statement, especially in this tourbillon version, the largest of them all. First of all, it grabs your attention with?its shape. While the vast majority of the watches produced by the Swiss rely on a (very… too) traditional round case, the Malte harks?back to an era where everything was permitted – and accepted. The tonneau (barrel) shape of the case refers to the early 20th
