Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military now in Black or Bronze - Monochrome Watches
Back in 2017, Ulysse Nardin launched a new sub-collection, still inspired by the classic Marine Chronometer design, but with a more casual look and a more accessible price. This watch, the Marine Torpilleur, first came in a traditional style, with a white dial, Roman numerals and a power reserve indicator (faithful to 19th-century chronometers). In 2018, the brand turned this watch into something bolder, sportier and more field-oriented, with the cool-looking Marine Torpilleur Military. Today, two new limited editions join the ranks, one in Black DLC, one in bronze.The idea with the Marine Torpilleur was to offer the undeniable charm of the Marine Chronometer watches in a more contemporary-looking 42mm case (no more integrated lug module), with the typical dial layout of such watches and a more accessible price – in fact, positioning itself as the entry-level watch of the brand, even though it still featured a nice in-house movement. Altogether, this was a tasteful facelift to th

Interview - Peter Speake-Marin on Making Watches, Developing Movements and his Latest Venture, the Naked Watchmaker
I can clearly remember my very first Baselworld and meeting Peter Speake-Marin. I didn’t know the “industry” as well as I know it today and I had no real conception of the entire industry and where Peter fit in. Today, some ten years later, I’m still in touch with Peter and I feel honoured to call him a friend. Over this past decade, I’ve followed Peter’s wanderings through the industry, and since Peter recently started a new venture (the Naked Watchmaker) I wanted to give you an overview of who Mr?Peter Speake-Marin actually is. Soon, we’ll focus on him deconstructing movements, but first, an interview with the man himself.MONO: Peter, can you tell us about your background in the industry.

First Look: The New Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad
At this year’s Geneva edition of Watches & Wonders, Ulysse Nardin is introducing a new version of its Freak S with aesthetic updates that make the ingenious, complex, unorthodox watch even more compelling. Introduced by Ulysse Nardin in 2001 under the visionary leadership of the late Rolf Schnyder, the original Freak sparked a wave of experimentation among independent watchmakers and laid a crucial foundation for the brand’s enduring legacy. The many subsequent releases have maintained the essence of the Freak, yet among this lineage, the Freak S, unveiled in 2022, emerges as a standout. Arguably the most compelling iteration since its early days, the Freak S embodies all the defining characteristics of its predecessors while introducing impressive new elements. Its design reflects a cosmically up-to-date sensibility, exemplified by the striking new Freak S Nomad edition.The new Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad debuts in a titanium case with an anthracite PVD-coated titanium

Introducing The Panerai Submersible S Brabus Verde Militare PAM01283
Cooperation between Panerai and German after-market specialist atelier Brabus, famous for its bold and high-tech approach to re-design and tuning powerful machines, seems a natural fit. Brabus editions of cars and boats are not meant for the faint-hearted. And the Panerai Submersible collection with combat-ready-looking watches offered in case sizes measuring 42mm, 44mm and 47mm is not created for a milquetoast. And at 47mm, the new Panerai Submersible S Brabus Verde Militare PAM01283 is certainly part of this breed.?This new addition to the Submersible S series launched in collaboration with the Brabus Marine is already the fourth in line. The exceptional Experience, Black Ops and Blue Shadow models were released in the previous two years. The Panerai Submersible S Brabus Verde Militare is similar to the 2021 Black Ops edition, with a skeletonised movement and well-designed open dial. It is sporting new colour accents to match the paint scheme of the boat that inspired this creation -
