Announcing - Roberta Naas joins Monochrome and we're starting to cover Ladies' Watches
Well, this is a big one, and I feel humbled to announce that non-other than esteemed watch journalist Roberta Naas is joining Monochrome-Watches. Having such an experienced journalist, who has been covering the world of watches since the early 1980s, is a real coup. She's got more than thirty years in the industry and has written a half a dozen books on the subject. With that comes an incredible amount of knowledge about the industry, about watch models, styles and, of course, about those lovely mechanisms with a beating heart. She joins us to cover the topic many of you told us that you would like to read more about: women's watches.As you might remember, Monochrome celebrated its 10th anniversary last year.

For those who vist Monochrome-Watches regularly, you probably know that we have soft spot for independent watchmakers and timepieces?that display the time in a different way, meaning without traditional hands and dials. One of our top favorite watches?is, without any possible discussion, the URWERK UR-210, a piece?that we extensively reviewed and filmed in a rather personal column, written by our editor in chief – for the full steel edition. It was certainly enthusiastic – and for very good reasons.
