From the earliest days of this watch magazine, which was founded over 13 years ago as Frank’s personal blog, the idea was to share a passion… In this instance, a passion for watches. However, even though we deeply enjoy this passion turned into a full-time job and sharing it with our readers, I have other […]
9-1-7 (to be pronounced nine-one-seven), three numbers that will immediately talk to all motorsport enthusiasts. Three numbers that sum up what is probably the most iconic race car ever produced. Back in the 1960s, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, itself the world’s most legendary race event, was dominated by a battle between Ferrari and […]
“Alfa Romeo Giulia”… Three words that resonate in my mind and immediately evoke strong emotions. Classic, Italian, moderately designed but oh-so-elegant, twin-cam, Veloce, Bertone, high-revs… As far as I know, classic 1950s and 1960s Alfa Romeos are what dreams are made of, and when I say dream, the reason is that these cars are simply […]

It’s hard to pitch something as intense as Goodwood Revival without living it… But let’s be concise.

If someone says the word ‘Germany’, not a lot of people will dream away and start reminiscing about romantic afternoons full of classic values like elegance, delicacy, sensitivity or even the slightest susceptibility to following heart instead of function. But that’s wrong. Anyone who has actually ever really seen that country, knows that this culture has so much more to offer than Autobahn, Autobahn, Autobahn. It’s always hard to speak for 85 million people but Germans do share a love for these classic values. The Germans are quite sensitive, in fact. I think the most beautiful German word is ‘Fingerspitzengefühl,’ which is literally translated als ‘the feeling in the tip of your fingers’. Yes, Germans are that sensitive indeed.
Saturday means another kind of mechanics here, at MONOCHROME. As every week, we share with you our second passion: cars (like real cars, those that smell and make some noise). For this week’s Petrolhead Corner installment we visited Red Bull Racing in Milton Keynes to have a chat about the bond between TAG Heuer and Red Bull.

In Milton Keynes we found out why relative newbie, Red Bull Racing, was the right partner to build the strongest collaboration on the grid.
