Report - A. Lange Sohne Watches and Cars at 2022 Hampton Court Concours
There are many perks of working as media in the watch world. The watches, of course! The trips and the access to the designers and teams behind the scenes are excellent. But putting the glitz and glamour of the Monaco press trips and fancy lunches aside (which are great for the gram but not the reason I got into this). The truth is, making friends and sharing a passion is what it’s all about. I don't care what the subject is; just give me an event with passionate people, no matter what it is, something we can geek out about and be surrounded by like-minded friends. These are the best of days in the watch world. And the day I’m going to reveal today was one of them…By Justin Hast, London-based independent writer, photographer and consultant who has contributed to MONOCHROME in the past already.

IWC drops a black dial in the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41
Few watches are so easily identifiable as the IWC Pilot’s Watch. Even from across a room, you can spot the iconic shape and design of any IWC Pilot’s Watch, regardless of whether it’s a time-only, chronograph or even perpetual calendar watch. With such a long and storied history and its ongoing popularity, it’s only natural that IWC diversifies its Pilot’s Watch collections. Two years ago, IWC introduced a more compact 41mm version of its emblematic Pilot’s Watch Chronograph with green and blue dials. But one thing was missing really, and that’s been corrected today with the new IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 with a matte black dial.With the introduction of the new 41mm-sized Pilot’s Watch Chronograph in 2021 came some minor updates to the case’s architecture. The reduction in size also meant a slight decrease in height (now 14.6mm) and an upgrade in water-resistance (from 60m to 100m). Overall, it’s still instantly re
First Look: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy
The long-awaited No-Date Seamaster Diver 300M… Teased during the summer, finally released in steel versions in late 2024. Deeply inspired by the No Time to Die edition once worn on screen by 007, this new sub-collection within the SM300 range got the vintage touch in addition to being free of its date window, domed sapphire crystal, aluminium dial and bezel, and some with a mesh bracelet. The design proved to be a success in steel, only to be confirmed by the Titanium and Bronze Gold edition with green accents a few weeks later. The story continues today with yet another version, this time crafted entirely in Bronze Gold and paired with a burgundy-toned bezel.?As with the recent steel versions and the titanium/bronze gold models, these new early-2025 versions are inspired by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was launched in 2020 for the James Bond film No Time to Die. What made this watch special, besides its connection with the world’s famous British secret agent
Introducing The Junghans 1972 Competition FIS Edition Lemon
The year 1972 was an important one for the German watchmaking brand marking Junghans's role as one of the official timekeepers of the Olympic Games (the other was Longines). In addition to supplying all sorts of timekeeping instruments, Junghans also produced a series of civilian watches, including a chronograph known as the Olympic Bullhead. Revisited in 2022 to mark the 50th anniversary of the brand's Olympic partnership, the 1972 Competition watch stuck to the groovy grey and orange colour scheme of the original. Celebrating its third time as the official timing partner for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Junghans presents an even bolder yellow dial version with black sub-dials of the 1972 Competition. Like the Olympic model, this yellow edition of 150 pieces captures the powerful elliptical design of the original 1972 model and decks it out with eye-catching colours.Nordic World Ski ChampionshipHeld in Planica, Slovenia, from 21 February to 5 March 2023, the 54th edition of
SIHH 2015 - Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 3 Days Automatic - 47mm PAM00616 (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Panerai's roots are military, supplying diving watches to the Italian military during WWII. From this year's Mare Nostrum to last year's chronographs like the Radiomir 1940, the company extends the utility of its DNA into high-end watches. This year's Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 3 Days Automatic, a mouthful to say, is no exception. The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Day models are identifiable by the peg markings on the uni-directional bezel, which is based on a 1956 design made for the Egyptian Navy. Other models come in Titanium, and this year introduces the composite material Carbotech, which not only reduces the weight of the 47mm watch, but also makes each one unique.No two Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech?watches look the same because the Carbotech process produces varying aesthetic results. The end result is a historic military design using space age materials, a fusion of past and future, a one-of-a-kind watch that is immediately identifiable as Panerai.?Carbotech,
