Tudor Baselworld 2018 - Tudor Predictions 2018 - Tudor Novelties 2018
Tudor has gained an incredible level of popularity over the past few years, becoming one of the coolest players in the watch game. This is the reason why we, at MONOCHROME, have placed this brand under our radar for quite some years already and,?like we did with a few days ago, it’s time for us to be creative and to try and guess what Tudor might launch in the very near future. So, here are the possible?Tudor Baselworld 2018 novelties – in other words,?the Tudor watches we’d love to see at Baselworld 2018.This is not the first time that we look into our crystal ball to see Tudor’s future. We have been doing it for a couple of years already – in 2014, in 2015, in 2016 and last year, in 2017. Some of our predictions became reality, just like the blue Pelagos or the Black Bay Black dial, some never came to life. Yet, this won’t stop our creativity and this is why we have come up with some more predictions for Tudor Baselworld 2018 novelties.Tudor Base

Opinion - A Big Pilot's Fan Take on The New IWC Big Pilots Watch 43
The Big Pilot… If you think about an emblematic, unmistakable watch by IWC, you hardly can do better than this. It is, at least to me, a watch that has defined the brand’s collection for years, a proper statement watch that is, and remains after close to 20 years of production, one of the best known modern watches. Having said that, you’ve probably guessed that I love the IWC Big Pilot… I’m in the fortunate position that I can also say that I own a Big Pilot ref. 5002 (the first-generation model). Thus, when IWC introduced earlier this year the new, smaller, downsized, ‘streamlined’ Big Pilot's Watch 43, it came to me as serious news. There was more than just a new watch to it, but also something to do with the actual name of the watch. Now that I had the chance to have one of these 43mm watches in the office for a review, it’s time to tell you what I, as a Big Pilot fan, think about this new watch.?The history of the IWC Big PilotBefore

Weekly Watch Photo: Tudor Black Bay Blue - Monochrome Watches
Shortly before Baselworld started this year, we tried to predict what Tudor would be presenting at?the world’s biggest watch show. Our prediction was not spot on, however the watches presented by Tudor (the Tudor Black Bay ref. 79220B and the Tudor Ranger ref. 79910) were even better than what we imagined. Especially the Black Bay with Midnight Blue bezel. That one was ‘talk of the town’ among the watch press for the entire week that Baselworld lasts. Photographer Vincent Lions also loved this watch and immediately ordered one, when he saw the first photos appear online. Lucky for us, because he made some splendid photos that we can share with you. It was this photo, with the Tudor Black Bay in the water, that caught our attention and moreover, the drawing of how the entire set-up that was necessary to make this photo. I never knew how much work it actually is to make such a photo, and honestly, I always imagined this is often more photoshop work than old-fashioned ph

Alexandre Meerson Altitude Premiere & Altitude Officier - Review with live photos & price - Monochrome-Watches
A few months ago, we introduced to you a new luxury brand with a simple but highly enjoyable design and an interesting horological content: Alexandre Meerson. By only looking at the press photos and reading the press release, we found that both the story was highly captivating and that the timepieces were not denied of elegance. However, nothing?is better than?a try and all the photos, as good as they can be, will never replace the experience of having the watch strapped on the wrist. That’s why we get our hands on all the collection: the?Alexandre Meerson Altitude Premiere & Altitude Officier.The two collections –?Altitude Premiere & Altitude Officier – share several similarities, among which is the design of the case. It is composed of a totally round central part and of two lug modules, with an Art-Deco twist, that hold the strap. The integration of such modules in a modern watch is not that common and, most of the time, the previous attempts led to an obso

Anonimo Epurato Safari Black DLC case (Specs & Price)
Prior to Baselworld 2018, Anonimo, the Italian brand founded on the roots of what was left of Panerai when Richemont took it over, presented a new, more casual watch: the Epurato. As indicated by its name, the brand wanted to go back to the essentials, with a cleaner, slightly dressier and easier-on-the-wrist timepiece. Rather successfully received, today two new versions, with DLC-coated cases and sand-coloured accents are introduced, under the name?Anonimo Epurato Safari.Anonimo is truly Italian. Not only in its sense of design but also in its DNA. It was created from the ashes of another Italian?brand. In 1997, Richemont bought Panerai and decided to relocate the production from Florence to Neuchatel. Yet, some of the ex-employees didn't move and they headed the creation of a brand named Anonimo (anonymous in Italian). The main focus was on diving watches, designed by the military engineer Dino Zei, who was at the helm of Panerai for over 20 years. Robust, large, military-inspired&#
