Union Glashutte 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve
The Glashutte region in South-East Germany is home to many very interesting watch manufacturers, ranging from relatively affordable to proper high-end stuff. The region is famous for a very distinct style of watchmaking, which radiates through pretty much any brand currently in operation. Clean, legible, nicely finished and often with clever and practical complications, it seems Germans simply do things differently. A brand we never covered before, for no apparent reason by the way, is Union Glashutte. With designs that tie in with the region’s aesthetical codes, Union Glashutte produces solely mechanical watches under the Swatch Group umbrella. But, as we’re about to see through the Union Glashutte 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve, there’s plenty to say about this brand.The history of Union Glashutte goes back a century and a half and is intertwined with several other high-end watchmaking companies from the Glashutte region. The story starts in 1874 when
First Look: The Updated IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44
IWC Schaffhausen has undertaken a comprehensive reworking and refinement of one of its most iconic models, the Portugieser collection. At Watches and Wonders this week in Geneva, four new versions are unveiled: two in white gold with blue and sand-coloured dials and two in Armor Gold with black and silver dials. And there's more to them than just new colours.The perpetual calendar stands as a hallmark complication across all the IWC’s collections, owing much to the pioneering module developed by Kurt Klaus in the 1980s, which encapsulates the essence of IWC’s engineering ethos. The module offers exceptional autonomy and reliability yet comprises a modest number of parts for a perpetual calendar. Still, IWC’s dedication to advancing and refining the calendar complication has been unwavering. The debut of the first Portugieser with a perpetual calendar in 2003 was marked by enhancements to the moon phase display, including integrating a larger reduction gear within the
A Day at the Races: with Tudor at the Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort - Monochrome Watches
Cars and watches, a great combination, and this combi?comes with a very legitimate historical background. For the second year Tudor was sponsor of the Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort and we got the chance to enjoy a great day with them in the Paddock Club, and of course strolling through the paddock to see so many awe-inspiring cars. From pre World War II cars, to recent Formula 1 race cars, from heavily tuned Mini Coopers, to dozens of vintage BMW 2002Ti’s and CSL’s, a marvellous Ferrari 250GT, many AC Cobras, and even a Shelby Daytona! And they all raced like the devil was chasing them. Old or not, these cars raced like crazy. We got to enjoy the best of two very interesting worlds: cars and watches!?As you’re probably well aware off, watches used to be purpose build mechanisms. As of the early 1900’s the watch, until then worn in a small vest pocket, and attached to a chain, slowly found their way to the wrist. And since cars also emerged around that time, m
Just Because: My Lost Watch and My Endless Quest to Find a Perfect Daily Beater
We, at MONOCHROME, rarely publish so-called “guest posts” and prefer to use our Collector's Series as a platform to share our readers' adventures with a watch. Today, we had to make an exception. The reason is simple. The story was just too good to not be shared. It tells a tale about a watch, something highly personal that, in some ways, will speak to a lot of us, watch enthusiasts. This man, whom we will call “Sweeny Hands” (as he prefers to remain anonymous), spent years searching for his ideal watch. Contrary to many stories you'll hear from collectors looking for bright and shiny new complications, Sweeny's search seemed simple at first, but ended up being an almost endless, desperately impossible quest. And here's the story of his long-awaited Seiko Sea Horse 7625-8031.?Some watch collectors are dragons, hoarding the glitter for the sheer joy of sitting on it. Others are magpies, gathering a little of everything to build a nest where they feel safe. The lo
Behind-The-Scenes: Inside Sellita, The Giant Supplier of Mechanical Movements
The words in-house and manufacture have been used and abused by the watchmaking industry for many years. Yet, the reality is somewhat different. This isn’t a bad thing, actually, because vertical integration is not an end in itself. And it has never been; watchmaking was born as a cottage industry. When it comes to movements, many brands source their engines (and many parts, for that matter) from third parties. Producing a movement is a complex endeavour; it requires thorough expertise and a critical size to manufacture reliable calibres while controlling costs. In this respect, you have probably heard about Sellita movements. These are some of the most commonly used calibres in luxury timepieces. Created in 1950, the company has become one of the industry’s best-known and most prolific mechanical movement suppliers, with its products beating in the cases of millions of watches.The story of Sellita goes as far back as 1950 when Sellita Watch Co. SA was founded in La Chaux-d
