Hands-on – The Updated Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon

When you think of an elegant and discreet watch, with a certain old-school dandy feel, the Master collection by Jaeger-LeCoultre won’t disappoint. We’ve seen multiple models in the past – QP, Moon, or even the cool Sector Dial editions – and all share that underrated, clean, thin, non-showy elegance that makes them timeless. As part of the SIHH 2019 (yet discreetly unveiled) was an updated version of the flagship model, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon. Sober yet complex!

Pre-Baselworld 2019 – Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin

Countdown mode for Baselworld 2019 has commenced and Chopard presents its first flying tourbillon combined with an automatic movement on board the elegant rose gold L.U.C. Flying T Twin. The ultra-thin case is made from “Fairmined” gold and houses an even thinner automatic movement based on Chopard’s very first manufacture movement. Decorated with a sophisticated […]

Hands-on – MB&F Legacy Machine Flying T – The First MB&F Dedicated to Women

At long last! We might not be a majority, but there are plenty of women out there who appreciate the micro-mechanical delights of a watch but are unwilling to settle for a men’s watch spruced up with stones. MB&F has broken its 14-year-long tradition of masterminding complex, visually arresting men’s watches and taken its first […]

Hands-on – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Black Ceramic Ref. 26522

In the early 1970s, Audemars Piguet introduced a watch that would forever unite the worlds of luxury and sport. Now, almost 50 years later, the brand continues to find innovative and intriguing ways to reinvent the Royal Oak, ensuring it remains one of the most sought-after watch collections in the world. This year, Audemars Piguet […]

Introducing – Louis Moinet Mogador Tourbillon (Live Pics)

Watches produced by Louis Moinet are never shy and usually showcase a certain exuberance. However, the brand also has an impressive horological background (the first chronograph timepiece ever created, for instance) and today’s collections still feature complex movements. Not changing its usual codes, the brand today presents a new, highly ornamented piece with a tourbillon, the Louis Moinet Mogador.

Introducing – Ulysse Nardin Marine Mega Yacht Watch – (Luxury) Ship Ahoy!

For a company that built its name as a purveyor of precision marine chronometers, Ulysse Nardin has a long-standing and authentic link to the sea. Combine this with the brand’s penchant for extravagant complications and showmanship and you get the Marine Mega Yacht, a watch that combines a flying tourbillon, a tide indicator, a moon phase indicator with miniature lifelike recreations of a ship’s features – anchor, chain, propeller, windlass and bow – directly on the dial! With a price tag of just over EUR 300,000, the platinum watch is a limited edition of just 30 pieces.

Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Tourbillon and Centre Seconds with Red Gold/DLC Case and Blue Fumé Dial

H. Moser & Cie. is in a highly productive mode these days releasing a steady stream of new models – or declinations of existing watches. Think, in recent months, Blue Lagoon pieces, Heritage made with Bucherer, Perpetual Moon Concept or Pioneer Tourbillon. The latter is actually today’s topic. During Watches and Wonders in Miami, the brand […]

Review – Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon 6000V

Vacheron Constantin expands its Overseas collection with the introduction of a sophisticated tourbillon complication. The first tourbillon model to debut in the Overseas collection, the complication injects a dose of Haute Horlogerie spectacle to the mix without jeopardising the solidity of a luxury sports watch designed for everyday wear. Presented in a stainless steel case with a striking blue dial and expected high-end finishes, the watch is fitted with Vacheron Constantin’s self-winding ultra-thin calibre 2160 and, like its fellow Overseas models, brings versatility to the table with three interchangeable bracelets/straps.

Hands-on – A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon with Pink Gold (Salmon) Dial

Montblanc, Audemars, Patek and more… Salmon/pink dials are THE trend for the 2018/2019 collection. Even though not entirely novel, we’ve never encountered so many watches with pink-coloured dials as we have this year. Don’t get us wrong, we actually love salmon dials here, at MONOCHROME (see Frank’s love letter here). There are, however, different ways to execute a salmon dial and when it decided to do its first real pink-coloured timepiece, A. Lange & Söhne took the high-end road… really high-end, with the new Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon and its solid pink gold dial.

Hands-on – De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius Chronomètre Tourbillon

Bringing together technical, aesthetic and conceptual creativity, De Bethune watches are definitely in a class of their own. Among the brand’s latest creations, the DB25 Starry Varius Chronomètre Tourbillon was awarded the 2018 chronometry prize at the prestigious GPHG last November… We already enjoyed the non-tourbillon version, but it had been a while since we had been hoping to go hands with this complex version of the star-studded timepiece.
