Saturday it is, meaning your weekly dosage of fuel-infused news is up on MONOCHROME. Last week was the Monterey car week, the most important car-related event of the year in the US. Alongside the shows and gatherings, several auction houses present some of the most incredible cars for sale… But one always creates more buzz […]
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. The relation between TAG and motorsports isn’t anything new; it was initiated long time ago by Mr. Jack Heuer himsel. In Milton Keynes we found out why relative newbie, Red Bull Racing, was the right partner to build the strongest collaboration on the grid.
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). This week’s Petrolhead Corner is a “best of the web”, with some of the coolest stories we found. One of the most legendary engines explained, […]
There are countless classic-car related events around the world and throughout the year. However, when it comes to the highest quality and the most impressive cars, the list goes down to a handful… Goodwood, Chantilly, Le Mans, Villa d’Este and of course, Pebble Beach. Like for every edition of this “Concours d’élégance” (considered the most […]
Goodwood FoS “Festival of Speed”… If you’re into cars, you probably know that this event has become one of the major car-related events of the year. But on the contrary to the cold halls of the Paris “Mondial de l’Auto” or the Geneva International Motor Show, Goodwood FoS is all about smoking tyres, noise, action […]
Ferrari, the Prancing Horse, the “Rosso Corsa” bright red colour, the noise (music), the fame, the magic… The dream car for many of us. There’s something unique to Ferrari, an unexplainable fascination for these sometimes outrageous machines, something irrational that has created a legend. Today, in this Ferrari-special episode of “The Petrolhead Corner”, it is […]
In last week’s Petrolhead Corner we had a talk with Rob Dickinson, the man behind the coolest Porsche 911 restomods on the planet, and this week we’re continuing a bit on the same track. We all know that electrical vehicles are here and before you know it, we all will be driving these ‘things’. Like quartz watches, yes we know they are more precise, yes they require less service and are just better timekeepers for the money. But… they do not create the same emotions. Here at MONOCHROME, we’re maybe a bit nostalgic. We love the howling sound of a flat six that’s being pushed to maximum rpm’s and the smell of gasoline and oil. So, here we go for a next Petrolhead Corner installment.
Today we’re talking with Rob Dickinson, founder and creative director of Singer Vehicle Design and co-founder for watch brand Singer Reimagined. When we were preparing to film a video interview with Rob, some two years ago, I knew about the Singer Reimagined Track 1, that super cool chronograph featuring Jean-Marc Wiederecht’s innovative chronograph calibre. But […]
Every Saturday MONOCHROME brings you a weekly fix of fuel-infused reading and viewing… Even though this week’s episode won’t be so much about burning petrol – one has to adapt to his times (apparently). So fasten your seatbelt and let’s look at some of the most entertaining car-related stories we found around the web. Volkswagen […]
