Hands-On: Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition at Chasing Cancellara
Two years ago, Tudor announced its entry into the world of cycling, partnering with cycling legend Fabian Cancellara to create the Tudor Pro Cycling Team. Tudor soon developed a special edition Black Bay Chrono Dark for the team, which we discovered during a training camp with the team in early 2023. Just a few weeks ago, on the occasion of the Giro d'Italia, Tudor presented its first commercially available cycling-themed watch, the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition, which we were fortunate enough to test for a few days. To give the watch the best possible chance to impress us, I even wore it in its natural environment during one of the most demanding one-day amateur cycling races in Switzerland, the 2024 Bern-Zermatt endurance event from the Chasing Cancellara series.The “Chasing Cancellara” endurance eventChasing Cancellara is an amateur cycling endurance event organised by Swiss cycling icon Fabian Cancellara, a double Olympic champion, multiple world champion, an

The New Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Dual Time
First presented in 2017, the Marine Torpilleur collection has been entirely refreshed last year, with new and refined models that pay tribute to the rich history of the brand in the field of Marine Chronometers. The Marine Torpilleur picks up on vintage design cues but comes in a lighter, younger and more versatile package like the fast, manoeuvrable torpedo boats that inspired its name. Elegant, discreet and highly distinctive, there’s a lot to love in these watches, mechanically and visually. For the 2022 collection, Ulysse Nardin expands its Marine Torpilleur collection with three new models, all part of the permanent collection, including the brand new Dual Time watch.?The Ulysse Nardin Marine TorpilleurFounded in 1846 in Le Locle by Ulysse Nardin, the young clockmaker consolidated his reputation with precision marine chronometers.

And it's now time for the duo to present its latest creation – helped with a third guy to the party – and it's a wrist-sized timing device showing the rotation of planets. Meet the SpaceOne Tellurium.The first creation of SpaceOne, resembling a sleek spacecraft, garnered significant attention with its futuristic design and a window revealing three concentric discs, indicating seconds at the centre, jumping hours in the middle, and minutes on the periphery.
