Audemars Piguet Tradition Extra-Thin Selfwinding - Monochrome Watches
I recently visited the Epsom Downs Racecourse for the very first time following an invitation, through the post, to attend the Investec Derby. The iconic horse race dates back to 1780 and is regarded by many as the world's greatest flat race. Moreover, it has become a pillar of polite society. Irrespective of whatever troubles or economic woes befall the nation, a fine summer's day provides the perfect opportunity to sample this most quintessentially English institution and momentarily set aside one's worries.There is excitement and splendour in seeing equine athletes galloping towards the finishing line. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is often in attendance with other members of the Royal Family. Etiquette and decorum are essential if traditions are to be maintained. Indeed, the dress code required of those who frequent the Queen's Stand on the day of the Investec Derby is clearly outlined. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

Only Watch 2015 - a prototype of Richard Mille RM 27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal actually worn and tested by Rafa - Monochrome-Watches
The concept of Only Watch is to auction unique watches in order to raise funds to help?Muscular Dystrophy research. As we’ve seen earlier this week, major brands came up with one-of-a-kind superb watches, just like FP Journe or Patek Philippe. There’s actually another way to participate in?the auction, by giving a prototype or the very first example?of a limited edition. For Only Watch 2015, Richard Mille chose to give a?RM 27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, identical to the production piece, except one little detail: it’s the example that Rafa worn and tested himself during the 2015 tennis season (including Roland Garros and Wimbledon).This watch is as unique as the other ones (that you can see here) not because of its one-of-a-kind?design but because of its very prestigious pedigree. As we’ve seen recently, Richard Mille introduced an exceptional limited edition based on the partnership with tennis player Rafeal Nadal, the?RM 27-02 Tourbillon.?Just like every one

A Personal Insight To Why I Bought the Union Glashutte 1893 Johannes Durrstein
I’m very fortunate (and spoilt, in a way) to handle hundreds of watches every year working for MONOCHROME Watches. To the point that I almost have to admit it’s not that easy to be impressed anymore, but it does happen from time to time. Of course, it’s not that difficult to be amazed by very complex and exquisitely finished watches, but I have to take a certain budget into account when it concerns my own collecting adventures. But when I first stepped into the Union Glashutte manufacture about a year ago, I did not expect to be swept off my feet. The reason for this unexpected love-at-first-sight moment? The handsome 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve, which I wrote about first in 2022. Seeing it in person made me pull the trigger on this one, which was far from planned, given I had a wedding to pay for shortly after that. Despite all this, and since I now own one, I wanted to revisit the 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve for my own – and

Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture - REVIEW (live photos & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Finding the right watch is a quest. When a watch fits one's lifestyle like a hand to a glove, and not by some artificial marketing association, but the fit of real-world application, then a symbiosis ensues. What is the right watch for the boat owner? Be he the captain of a flying tower fishing boat, or an open air bow rider filled with eager skiers, or a sport cruiser complete with galley and overnight accommodations, or a true yacht for luxurious entertaining, or even the rarified air of the seafaring mega-yacht bound for the Monaco harbor in time for the Formula Race, the right watch is essential. A dive watch will do, but if form follows function, what is the right watch, other than a diver, for the captain of the ship? As summer beckons captains to the rivers, lakes and sea, Ulysse Nardin, a name synonymous with the pilot house, offers a watch that can move effortlessly from the swim deck to the yacht club, combining the essential elements of sport and dress while simultaneously b
