In less than a week from now, it will be February 29th… Not a big deal, for sure. Unless you’re into watchmaking and want to see something mechanically fascinating. Indeed, watchmakers are sometimes a bit nerdy and imagined a complication that takes into account all the weird things of the Gregorian calendar. This means months […]
Named after Egeria, the Roman water nymph, Égérie is Vacheron Constantin’s latest women’s collection. No doubt chosen to evoke the classic temperament of this new collection, Égérie has also taken inspiration from the world of Haute Couture with elegant, pleated designs on the dial.

As a Managing Editor, I love to challenge the redaction team at MONOCHROME. So a few weeks ago, I gathered most of our editors and contributors and came with THE big question, one that seems simple at first, but in fact, isn’t.

As 2019 is coming to an end, we’ve gathered the MONOCHROME redaction team and started to think about the watches that most impressed us this year.

Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas family is the brand’s luxury sports watch proposal, a well-furnished collection with everything from simple three-handers to sophisticated perpetual calendars, tourbillons and chronographs. The third-generation Overseas family was introduced in 2016 and given its vocation as a travel watch, the appearance of the Dual Time model in 2018 was a welcome addition. The […]
As you’ve probably seen already, our 3 previous buying guides have been focusing on a highly discussed topic; the most sought after watches produced by Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet – which basically goes down to talking about the Daytona, the GMT-Master, the Nautilus and the Royal Oak. By all means, our goal was […]

Based on the vintage reference 6087, a watch launched in 1955, the modern so-called Cornes de Vache is, without doubt, one of the most sought-after Vacheron Constantin Chronographs. Available only in platinum or pink gold until very recently, a new steel version has recently been introduced… but given the limited production and great demand, it […]
