The latest watch from the British micro-brand Garrick debuted at SalonQP 2016 to a healthy dose of excitement. Not only because the people who love what Garrick does were excited to see something new, but because Garrick had teamed up with Andreas Strehler, a technical industry star, to produce a new manufacture-esque movement.
Time for the next give-away on Monochrome to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and this time we can give away 5 sets from A. Lange & Söhne. The beautiful German watch brand, who just launched the renewed Lange 1 Moonphase Day/Night, provided us with 5 x the book “Sign of the Times”, 5 x a Lange notebook and 5 rollerballs.
The end of the year is near. And as usual, most of our schedules will definitely be packed with a plethora of parties and celebrations to end 2016 with a bang. Here are our suggestions for a party watch.…
The latest horological offering from Tiffany & Co. isn’t per se a new watch, but a new way to make one of their watches “truly yours.” Watch personalization and customization services have existed since the beginning of watches themselves hundreds read more…
The Orbis Terrarum is a classic worldtime complication, with an outer dial dominated by an inner ring of key global cities and an outer ring displaying 24-hour time. While it looks complicated it’s surprisingly intuitive, and all the more bold in the 4810 case, as opposed to the svelte Heritage Spirit model that we explored mid-way through last year. Who should you buy this for? A watch lover who’s ready to graduate to mid-level complications, without necessarily wanting the price tag that usually comes with it. What’s the damage?

Well, Christian and Evelyn have arrived at their destination and no, it’s not some Bond-villain-esque lair or a high-stakes diamond heist. Instead it’s something far more relatable and no-less stressful – a school reunion. Thankfully Christian’s fear of social inadequacy is unfounded, thanks in no small part to the Portugieser Hand-Wound on his wrist. We’ve had fun with this illustrated three-part microstory (here are parts one and two in case you missed), and we hope you’ve enjoyed reading it.

On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… the new Cartier model that caught a lot of people’s attention this year in watches. The Drive manages to be both masculine and refined, deviating from the Cartier single shape theory that usually has you choose between square (Santos), round (Ballon Bleu) and tonneau (Roadster and Tortue), to name a few. It’s very faintly retro, too, but combines a cut-through cushion case with the usual impeccable Cartier finishing on the dial. Who should you buy this for? The extraordinary gentleman in your life, or for yourself if you’re in the market for a dress watch par excellence. What’s the damage?

Bali would not be the first place you have in mind when you think vintage Rolex, yet a week ago 100 of the most hardcore Rolex collectors met there, organized by the Vintage Rolex Asylum, bringing some of the most collectible pieces ever made by the manufacture. Out of the 250-ish watches, you could expect your fair share of flawless Submariner, some actually military-issued, and a significant number of Daytona chronographs with the exotic Paul Newman dial, be that with a stainless steel or a yellow gold case. For many attendants, the highlight of the show was to see one of the three Rolex Cosmograph Yachtmaster, the very same example John Goldberger had shown us on its Talking Watches.
Earlier this week we hosted a get together with Piaget at the brand’s boutique on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Despite the barricades (the boutique is across the street from Trump Tower) and a steady downpour, people showed up ready to sip champagne and try on the selection of watches on hand at the beautiful and cozy boutique, including the new Polo S. Here is a selection of photographs from the night.
Ulysse Nardin is the watch world’s pioneer in “new” technologies. Though it might seem anachronistic that a 163-year-old company famed for its marine chronometers would be the one to start a revolution of this type in mechanical watchmaking, that is just what Ulysse Nardin did by leading the search for the perfect materials and advanced geometery. Here we take a look back at the technologies leading up to the introduction of 2007’s InnoVision and why that particular concept watch was so notable.
