The Geneva Watch Days Charity Auction, But You Can't Buy Any Watches
The things money can’t buy… There are things you can get in exchange for your hard-earned money. And then, some experiences and encounters are simply not available, whatever you’ll put on the table… Except in this case, it does. But since it’s for a good cause, one that will only ensure the future of an industry that we love, we’re all good with it. This year, during the?official Geneva Watch Days dinner, Phillips will hold a private auction, with the proceeds going to the ecole d'Horlogerie de Geneve. And the things that you’ll be able to get there, even though related to the world of watchmaking, are not watches. Become a watch designer for a day? Check! Spend a day with a famous Premier League player and come back home with a Jersey? Check again. And there will be more.?On principle, such an auction would have not made it through the pages of your favourite watch magazine… It’s typically an insider’s gathering that doesn

The IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN, Now In Mojave Desert Style
Under the moniker of the ‘Colours of TOP GUN‘, IWC is producing boldly coloured editions of its famous (Big) Pilot’s Watch collection, all inspired by nature. For the past couple of years, we’ve seen some fascinating styles emerge. Whether it’s the formidable Big Pilot or lesser gargantuan editions, all share a common theme; ceramics! So far, there’s Lake Tahoe White, Woodland Green, Jet Black, and Oceana Blue, but perhaps the boldest choice is sand beige, which received the name Mojave Desert for quite obvious reasons. Following its 46mm and 44mm siblings, it’s now the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 to embrace the Mojave Desert style.The TOP GUN collection has been around for well over a decade now, as it was presented as a stand-alone collection in 2012 following multiple special series of watches designed for elite fighter pilots. The TOP GUN series has become well-known for its use of high-tech ceramic and ceratanium materials, as well

Introducing Chopard L.U.C QF Revolution Edition Luminous Sector Dial
Revolution, a long-established print and online magazine focussed on watches and run by our friend Wei Koh, is used to making quite impressive collaborations, often resulting in highly attractive watches. One of the?long-time partners of Revo is Chopard, a collaboration that already resulted in two salmon-coloured models paying tribute to the first-ever L.U.C watch. Today, the Singapore-based magazine launches its third dedicated edition with the Swiss manufacture. And it’s an attractive combination of classic 1940s design, modernity in the?execution and mechanical refinement. Meet the Chopard L.U.C QF Revolution Edition.In short, what you’re looking at is a “vintaged” take on the classic dress watcha la Chopard, with slightly enlarged case and a luminous sector dial to bring some casualness and inside the best of L.U.C with a Qualite Fleurier movement.

TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 43 mm Skeleton - Pre-Baselworld 2017
Since its inception in 2015, the?TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 has quickly become the emblematic model of the brand, being also one of its best-sellers – which is surprising, first because of the look, rather in opposition with the previous creations, and because of its price positioning, as being one of the upper-range watches. While in 2016 it has seen an evolution with a 43mm case, the skeletonized dial was still the privilege of the larger 45mm edition… until Baselworld 2017, as we’ll now have the?TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 43 mm, in Skeleton Version, with 3 different colors (intense black, navy blue and and cognac brown).The?Carrera Heuer-01 has been a success for TAG Heuer, as being the redefining watch: bolder, larger, more contemporary designed, more horological too (with an open-worked in-house chronograph) and exploring new territories in terms of look and personalization, thus targeting new groups of collectors. Still, the basics of the brand were there; the C
