Review: Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph 1000
The newly released Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph 1000 is certainly an intriguing proposition. Two wheel trains with two balance wheels, one running at 18,000 bph, and another at 360,000 bph. The latter would normally imply a resolution of 1/100th of a second, but the Timewalker Chronograph 1000 measures up to a resolution of 1/1000th of a…
Steve Job’s Wristwatch Returns with the Seiko x Nano Universe Limited Edition
In 1984 Steve Jobs was famously photographed sitting crosslegged on the floor of his living room holding the first Macintosh computer. Captured by South African photographer Norman Seeff, the series of images from the session have become iconic representations of the Apple co-founder – and turning the dinky Seiko on his wrist into a piece of […]
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.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 24th February, 2017 – the recommended reading edition
It’s easy to get caught up in this whole 24-hour news cycle thing. Every five seconds there seems to be a new story/scandal/watch, and sometimes it all gets a little too much. That’s why, for today’s Wind Down, we’re trying to actually live up to the name. So, close your work email, divert your phone to voicemail and take 10 minutes to peruse our recommended reading list. What happened A bunch of brands announced pre-Basel releases, sponsorship deals and the like. But that’s not what we’re about today. What really mattered Too many otherwise serious watch guys dismiss Alain Silberstein. Sure, his designs are an acquired taste, and he’s not afraid to venture away from neutrals, a look captured wonderfully in the above LM1 – his second collaboration with MB&F. Whatever you think about him, he’s a pretty influential figure in watchland. To find out more about the moustachioed maestro of colour and shapes, check out this great story of a man who tackled the industry on his own terms. It’s not a proven scientific theory or anything, but we’re pretty confident in saying that inside every watch guy there’s a car guy trying to get out, and vice versa. Even if you’re in a state of denial about the…

Spot the Watch: Jay Z and his Patek Philippe Celestial at the 2017 Grammys
The 2017 edition of the Grammys was largely quiet in terms of spotting watches, or was it? We know rapper Jay Z is a watch connoisseur and has many timepieces from notable brands. What he was wearing on the evening was pretty epic but went under the radar because it was difficult to see under the cuff of his shirt.…
