Who's afraid of Red? Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge - LIVE Photos - Monochrome Watches
Unusual… that’s probably the best word for a watch with a red dial. In this case however it’s not only unusual, but also very cool! The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge looks cool and sophisticated.?I have to admit that I’m kind of conservative when choosing a watch for my own wrist. The Hautlence HL Ti 02?is an exception, although its design looks kind of futuristic,?it still features a monochrome color scheme and no wild and colorful dial. Meet the exception… Ad - Scroll to continue with article Usually even a case made in yellow, pink or red gold is too flashy for my taste and I prefer white metals. Similar with dials, I prefer them black, white, silver or anthracite. I know this might sound boring, but I think there’s enough variation within these parameters. You won’t easily see a watch with a colorful
Weekly Watch Photo - IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Top Gun Miramar - Monochrome Watches
The subject of this week’s Weekly Watch Photo has a very long name, IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Top Gun Miramar. It was released in January of this year at the SIHH 2012, as part of an entirely revamped Pilot’s collection and it is among the first of this collection to feature IWC’s in-house caliber 89365.?Like last week’s Weekly Watch Photo, the Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Tourbillon, I had the distinct pleasure of wearing the IWC Pilot Chrono Miramar for several weeks, again with the purpose of writing a review.

Introducing Farer Automatic Chronograph Series Cobb, Eldridge and Segrave (Specs & Price)
You'd be hard pressed to find a more mature and unique watch company in the world of microbrands than London-based Farer Universal. Their production is predictably limited in number for a small brand, offering a maximum of 300 individual watches within most series (many are limited to 100) and they often sell out in a matter of months. They're known for using a lot of colours and whimsical designs, yet maintain a sophistication and maturity that keep them from resembling expensive Swatch watches. With the exception of their initial quartz line, Farer always releases new watches in a series of three, all having very different dial designs that share a common case. Following up on the 37mm Hand-Wound series released a few months ago, the company just launched three automatic chronographs that continue their distinctive design language - The Cobb, Eldridge and Segrave.We covered their Three Hand Automatics a couple of years ago and recently reviewed their Aqua Compressor Endeavour, and th
Grand Seiko Masterpiece Spring Drive SBGZ007 - Hands-On Review
In 1881, Kintaro Hattori created a watch manufacture that would become Japan’s most powerful and innovative watch brand on the market today, Seiko. His Seikosha Factory, meaning House of Precision, started producing quality wall clocks and pocket watches, but always with affordability in mind. In 1960, however, things changed drastically with the creation of Grand Seiko, a sub-brand representing the best the Japanese manufacture could do on all levels. Today, in celebration of the 140th anniversary of the company’s foundation, Grand Seiko presents a new Masterpiece created by the renowned Micro Artist Studio, a watch made by an elite team of watchmakers combining the best in horological technology with hand craftsmanship. Meet the new Grand Seiko Masterpiece Spring Drive SBGZ007.?The Micro Artist StudioEstablished in 2000 with the purpose of “uncovering, examining, and mastering the technologies and skills passed on by our predecessors for the production of luxury wat
Chronoswiss Regulator Classic Date (Specs & Price)
It's not easy designing a watch that really differentiates itself from the crowd. Obviously, there's more to a watch than an outward appearance and I'm generalizing, but I've always liked brands that have a distinct style that's easily recognized. You know a Panerai, or Roger Dubuis when you see it, for example. You can also spot a Chronoswiss in the crowd with its knurled case and oversized onion crown, and a style it arguably does best - the regulator. I recently wrote a hands-on article about the Flying Grand Regulator Skeleton Limited Edition, which was an almost futuristic take on the regulator setup. Its Regulator Classic Date is a more subdued and traditional piece, yet maintains the Chronoswiss DNA throughout. Let's take a closer look at the silver edition of a future classic.BACKGROUNDChronoswiss is a surprisingly young watch company and has been on the scene for just 35 years. It produced its first regulator piece in 1987 and is probably best known for this style. The regul
