The New Bulgari Serpenti Misteriosi And Monete Catene Secret Watches (Live Pics & Price) - Monochrome Watches
Among the six novelties Bulgari will unveil during Geneva Watch Days are four extraordinary high jewellery secret watches. The brand's famous mascot, the Serpenti, snakes back into the limelight decked out in gemstones and powered by the smallest mechanical movement on the market. Another iconic Bulgari design is the incorporation of ancient Roman coins into jewellery and watch designs, and the Roman brand releases two secret Monete Catene watches attached to the wrist with supple chain bracelets, also equipped with Bulgari's miniature Piccolissimo calibre BVL 100.Last year Bulgari had a treat for fans of the Serpenti and launched a collection of Serpenti Misteriosi high jewellery watches powered by the brand's tiny, weeny Piccolissimo mechanical movement. Taking advantage of the brand's formidable know-how in developing ultra-thin movements for the Octo Finissimo collection, the Piccolissimo calibre BVL 100 measures just 12.30mm across, is 2.50mm thick and weighs 1.30 grams. One of th
Introducing: The Lebois & Co Heritage Chronograph Indian Motorcycle
Who doesn't like a good collaboration, especially when it involves watches and motorcycles. Dutch watch enthusiast Tom van Wijlick recently revived the Lebois & Co. watch brand and has collaborated with Indian Motorcycle for a special edition of the Heritage Chronograph. Both brands are known for reviving classics and this is a perfect marriage of timeless craftsmanship and design. If you want both the bike and watch, the VIN number will even be engraved on the case back for a perfect matching numbers set. Of course, the watch can be purchased separately as well.This isn't the first time we've seen a watch/motorcycle collab. William Wood Watches also collaborated with Indian for a special Scout model to support The Fire Fighter Charity in the UK. Bulgari teamed up with Ducati for the Aluminium Chronograph Ducati Special Edition and so on. This one really highlights the revival of classics with modern engineering, however, and is a natural partnership. Ad - Scroll to cont
Revue Thommen Classical 82 Round - Monochrome Watches
Around some brands it is so quiet that you sometimes wonder if they still exist. For sure, Revue Thommen is such a brand. Why it ever got quiet around this brand is actually quite a mystery.Revue Thommen?has a long history of manufacturing movements of which the latest one was introduced in 2006. This by itself should be enough to make connoisseurs and collectors interested, but Revue Thommen stays an almost secret tip for people who are looking for quality and understatement. Will the Classical 82 Round change that? Ad - Scroll to continue with article To answer that question right away; this is highly doubtful. Actually, it is even doubtful that the Classical 82 Round ever will be sold in high numbers, and that makes it even braver for Revue Thommen to introduce it on the current market. Its size will be the main reason why most people probably don't consider
Vacheron Constantin Introduces the World's Thinnest Minute Repeater caliber and Thinnest Minute Repeater Watch - Monochrome Watches
Vacheron Constantin sets two records with the introduction of the Patrimony Contemporaine Ultra-Thin Calibre 1731. It is the world’s thinnest minute repeater movement and the world’s thinnest minute repeater wrist watch. This new ultra-thin chiming watch measures just 8.09 mm in height and its movement is just a mere 3.90 mm in height. Even leaving the “world records” out of the equation, what Vacheron accomplishes here is simply magnificent. Striking complications are usually seen as the most difficult of all complications, especially when integrating it in an ultra-thin movement.For those of you who remember Piaget’s introduction earlier this year, that was also a record for the world’s thinnest minute repeater movement and minute repeater watch. With the difference that the Emperador Coussin Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater is automatically wound, while the Vacheron is a manually wound watch. The new ultra-thin caliber 1731 has been finished to the very
