Have the playful brains at Hublot disgraced their ancestors? Will this watch of truly epic proportions' be able to restore the honor of their monastery? ?Overview of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang for Bruce Lee Chronograph.In the year 2015 it is almost impossible to OVERstate the role Bruce Lee, the San Francisco born son of a touring Hong Kong acting family has had on modern action films. In a day and age where the lion's share of what you see on screen in a movie is CGI, Lee's movies, though sometimes quaint looking by today's standards, are packed with a life's dedication to mastering King Chun and Jeet Kune Do style Kung Fu.

Hint: when you look at Keanu Reeves in the Matrix Trilogy, what you see is one huge homage to Bruce Lee. An
SIHH 2019 - IWC Pilots Watch Automatic TOP GUN IW326901 (Specs & Price)
If you've seen the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, you're familiar with the Naval Fighter Weapons School for elite pilots, established in Southern California in 1969. IWC has paid homage to?Top Gun since 2007 and is releasing its latest three-hand automatic in the series with a new movement and a matte black ceramic case. Launched simultaneously with the new Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire, the TOP GUN model also shares the Spitfire's IWC 32110 automatic calibre, although the case is 2mm larger than the 39mm Spitfire and has a more modern aesthetic.The dial is reminiscent of IWC's Big Pilot's watch series, and the black ceramic case is stealthy and contemporary.

A look at the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 (Specs & Price) - Monochrome-Watches
Today on Monochrome-Watches, we’re going to look at TAG Heuer’s latest addition – and we’ll have a look at it through the hublot (the meaning?of this last sentence will probably sound odd to you, but you’ll understand later). While the new strategy of TAG is to get back on track with the market of young, active and sport-oriented men (with watches like?this one) or to look back at its past (with vintage oriented pieces like this one), the?TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 plays on another field. It’s technical, modern, visually complicated and different from anything else made by the brand. Let’s see if this watch is a proper TAG.For most of us, a Carrera is a sports chronograph with a specific look that is easily recognizable. Even if it can be modern and look like that, it can also be a re-issue of the vintage 1960s editions, like the recently introduced?Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph Telemeter. Whatever the model, they all share specific at
Patek Philippe 5930g World Time Chronograph - Baselworld 2016 (with Price) - Monochrome Watches
When the concept?of World Time watch comes in a conversation, the name Patek Philippe will immediately be mentioned – and for good reasons. Patel was indeed one the first brands to use an idea of Louis Cottier to build a watch showing, in an easy, practical and legible way the time zones all over the world on the dial of a watch. For Baselworld 2016, this complication (that we think is one of the most practical ones here at Monochrome) is coming back under the spotlight, this time combined with a chronograph. And no worries to have, the?Patek Philippe 5930g World Time Chronograph is perfectly proportioned and easily readable.First things to know when handling such a complicated watch – because combining a chronograph and a world timer in a single display is dangerous – are of course the size and the legibility. And with the?Patek Philippe 5930g World Time Chronograph, you can be reassured. It’s both easy to read and easy on the wrist. Ad - Scroll to c
First Look: TAG Heuer Brings a Beads-of-Rice Bracelet to the Carrera Glassbox Collection
Bracelets are a perfect example of how functionality and aesthetics work harmoniously, producing visually striking and surprisingly practical, literally pleasing results. A well-crafted bracelet elevates the value of a watch, which is why collectors pay such close attention to them – far more than the average wearer, for whom metal links may seem simple and utilitarian. And in many cases, they are. Enters the Beads-of-Rice for the Carrera Glassbox.One of the most iconic bracelet designs, the Beads-of-Rice (BoR) style first appeared in the 1940s and has recently experienced a resurgence driven by the retro/vintage trend. Renowned for its exceptional comfort – thanks to numerous links, a great articulation and often rounded profile – the BoR bracelet has inspired many variations over the decades.
