Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Aérolithe Performance – A Bold Automative-Inspired Creation

The Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Aérolithe Performance is an automative-inspired watch, a specialty of the Fleurier-based brand, inspired by another mythical car of the no less mythical brand Bugatti. Mythical because this magnesium car (completely unusual back the days) remained at a prototype stage and lasted for a very short period. The watch we have today is much more concrete and has some desirable features and a bold design to offer. Here is the Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Aérolithe Performance.

First Look – The New Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition (Live from Geneva Motor Show)

This more luxurious variant by Range Rover debuts at the Geneva International Motor Show. This was the opportunity for Zenith to unveil a new special edition, in the same vein as the first limited edition: a sleek (no fuss) chronograph powered by the iconic El Primero. Please welcome the Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition.

The Very-Retro Zenith Heritage 146 Chronograph El Primero (and why it just rocks…)

Here’s the deal: an iconic chronograph movement, automatic, with column-wheel, high-beat frequency and very pleasant architecture to be seen on the caseback, a small diameter, a retro-inspired design, a clean dial, bi-compax layout, a no-date dial, all that wrapped in a pretty designed case and with the name of one of the greatest manufactures printed on the dial… What is there not to love in this description? Not much, admittedly. Well, this is what you’ll get with the Zenith Heritage 146 Chronograph El Primero, and yes, it is a pretty amazing watch, in fact it could well be the El Primero many were waiting for.

Introducing – Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II

Oris’ motto is “Real watches for real people“… and it’s not just a marketing gimmick (which happens rather often in this luxury watches industry, to say the least). Don’t be surprised to see that Oris watches are worn by ambassadors that are just a bit far away from red carpets. For instance, take a look at the Rega Altimeter, or the El Hierro Limited Edition… For their latest creation, it’s with Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service (one of the world’s most iconic aeromedical services) that Oris is teaming up, with a new watch, the Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II.

Introducing the Monta OceanKing – A Retro-Inspired Dive Watch with Eterna Calibre

The Monta OceanKing is a no-nosense dive watch, nicely executed and powered by an Eterna movement. The underlying idea of the OceanKing was to craft a modern interpretation of the traditional tool watches of the mid 1950s and early 1960s with a focus on functionality and quality – Precise execution has resulted in a great diving companion that is a perfect daily wearer too. Check-out the Monta OceanKing Dive Watch.

Hands-On – The New Ressence Type 5G, The Full Titanium Diver

When it has been launched, back in December 2015, we’ve been fairly surprised with the Ressence Type 5… In a very good way, this has to be said. For sure, a dive watch from Ressence was really not expected, however, when knowing the evolution of the concept initialized with the Type 3, it felt like a natural evolution. Apart from the cool display, this watch, thanks to its oil-filled dial, allowed to be the only mechanical dive watch with zero reflections underwater (and if you’re doubtful, see our field test here). Just between the SIHH and the upcoming Baselworld, Ressence now comes with a full titanium version of this watch, the Type 5G, and it has some arguments to convince. And after you saw it yesterday on all our competitors’ websites with press photos, we, at Monochrome, go hands-on with it.

Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent / Lapo Elkann – With Authentic Fabric Dials & Straps

With Hublot, the word Fusion is not just the name of a watch. It is much more than that. it is a motto, a proper guideline for the design. Fusion refers to the concept of mixing materials, something that has always been in the DNA of the bold manufacture. Fusion of gold and ceramic, fusion of metals and rubber, fusion of gold and patinated leather, fusion of everything that you can imagine and more… Hublot dares to integrate in watches materials that you would have never thought about. And they did it again, with the Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent, using authentic fabric dials & straps, the result of a collaboration with the highly creative enfant terrible Lapo Elkann.

Bell & Ross reveals the new BR03-94 RS17 alongside the Renault Sport F1 new R.S.17

Last year, in 2016, we announced to you a new partnership between Parisian brand Bell & Ross and Formula One Team Renault Sport – a partnership that we didn’t expected at first but that CEO Carlos Rosillo explained to us in details, just to avoid any confusions. Indeed, the brand was usually focused on military and aviation timepieces but this move to F1 and sports cars certainly opens new horizons. Talking novelties, and while the 2017 F1 season will soon begin, Bell & Ross just revealed their new Renault Sport F1 collaboration piece, the BR03 RS17 Chronograph, the new flagship of this race-oriented line of watches.

Pre-Baselworld 2017 – TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 43 mm, now in Skeleton Version

Since its inception in 2015, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 has quickly become the emblematic model of the brand, being also one of its best-sellers – which is surprising, first because of the look, rather in opposition with the previous creations, and because of its price positioning, as being one of the upper-range watches. While in …
