Value Proposition – Review Of The Hemel Track, A Cool Military-Inspired Field Watch

You never know what to expect when pledging money towards a Kickstarter campaign. This is especially true when investing into a new watch brand, as there are so many different factors that come into play when building a new timepiece from scratch. All of us here at Monochrome hope that we can shed some light on some of the more prominent up and coming watch brands being proposed on Kickstarter, Hemel Watches being one of them – and here is their latest offer, the Hemel Track, a cool military-inspired field automatic watch.

Value Proposition – Ball Watch Engineer III Bronze Star and Silver Star – The Future Is Now

We all look for different things in watches, whether that be the design, features or even just the price. One thing we can all agree on is that we want our watches to look good, and specifically look good on us. The Engineer III Bronze Star and Silver Star – coming from Ball Watch, offers all the great aspects of a modern day timepiece and is available to pre-order online now.

Introducing the Lytt Labs Inception – Unconventional Meets Accessible

There’s some new kids on the block and they go by the name of Lytt Labs. Born from a meeting between a Frenchman, a Swissman and a Singaporean who together conceived the idea of crafting contemporary, urban styled watches that play with light through the use of original shapes, materials and patterns. Their timepieces eschew traditional codes and instead provide their own cool, offbeat take on mechanical watchmaking. Meet ‘Inception’, the first watch in the Lytt Labs collection, boasting an unusual time display framed in a bold pebble-shaped case.

Joining the Light Side – Hands-on with the Ball Fireman Night Train DLC

‘Accuracy under adverse conditions’ – Headquartered in La-Chaux-de-Fonds with American roots going as far back as 1891, Ball watches manufactures sturdy mechanical watches with a focus on reliability and legibility. This obsession with readability lead the brand to literally encapsulate light on their dials. Monochrome goes hands-on with one of the brand’s best-sellers, the Ball Fireman night train DLC.

Value Proposition: Deep Blue Master 2000 Diver – 10 Years Limited Edition

With the busy lifestyles we have these days, we sometimes forget about ourselves – and neglect the adventurous and outgoing side of life that we crave. We often find ourselves trapped in the ‘norm’ completing mundane tasks – day in, day out. Deep Blue has completely thrown the norm out of the water – literally, with the limited edition ‘Master 2000 Diver’ watch to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, and it comes at a ~~good~~ great price!

Value Proposition: Hawker Harrier II – The Pegasus Concept watch, a flight above the rest

What we look for in a watch nowadays is not quite what it used to be. As you know, at Monochrome we do have a liking for different ways to indicate time. The simple art of telling the time has evolved into something almost magical, with each watch telling its own story and history. The Hawker Harrier II brings to life something that is only dreamt of – a Pegasus inspired pilots watch.

The MeisterSinger Salthora Meta Transparent – The Jumping Hour Made Visible and Accessible

Some of you might be like us, quite bored sometimes by the concept of the traditional watch, with traditional 3-hand display, on the traditional central axis, running on a traditional round dial. This is not a big issue, knowing that many watchmakers offer other displays of the time. However, not all of us can afford a MB&F or a MCT. This is why MeisterSinger, with their offer of single-hand watches (Circularis, Phanero, Neo…), might be under your scope already. Well, not bad already but you can even have more, as the brand introduced a watch that both features a single hand and a jumping hour (not that usual) and that features a sapphire dial to expose all the mechanics: the MeisterSinger Salthora Meta Transparent. Ready for the horology lesson?

Review – Citizen Aqualand Promaster, The Blue Collar Dive Watch from Japan

When we refer to Japan and its watch industry everyone, and rightly so, instantly think of one company: Seiko. However, there is more than that. Although Seiko has produced a large number of excellent, iconic and historical timepieces, it is unfair to forget other companies like Citizen. In this article we are going to examine one of the most iconic dive watches coming from Japan of all time. No, it is not the Tuna Marinemaster or the Seiko 6105, but the iconic Citizen Aqualand Promaster.

Value Proposition – Review of the Fortis Cockpit One (a nice tool and a lot of watch for your money)

When you’re on the hunt for your perfect watch, or even just a compulsory purchase, there is a lot out there to lust after. For example, when it comes to dive watches we’ve seen that there are a lot more than just Submariners, Seamasters or Panerais to choose from, which is great especially if you are shopping with somewhat of a limited budget. Case in point, this newly introduced Fortis Cockpit One, an automatic Swiss watch with some very nice features, in the 1000-1500 Euro/USD/CHF price bracket. Today we’re taking a long, hard look at what you get for that money in one of our familiar extensive reviews!
