The Lange 1 Timezone needs no introduction. This author himself attended the launch event in Glashütte in 2005 (click here for a report of that event). And Honey Gold, which A. Lange & Söhne introduced in 2010 as a tryptique of watches featuring a Tourbograph, a Lange 1 Tourbillon and an 1815 Moonphase. This new release combines the…
Last month, Jason Heaton brought us the epic tale of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual that survived Sir Francis Chichester’s grueling 226-day voyage around the globe. As luck would have it, that very watch made a very rare appearance in London last week, and I was lucky enough to be there to see it.

Kickstarter has garnered a huge amount of watch startup projects, but we like to choose the promising proposals that stand out from the crowd. One company that really caught our attention here at Monochrome, is known as Huckleberry & Co, and what they came with is named The Atticus Watch… Mechanical movement, stylish look, sleek design, minimalist inspiration, an overall refined package with affordable price!

Tom is Monochrome’s “man in London” and will cover everything that’s important, horologically speaking, from the UK and London in particular, while Matthew will be handling our selection of value propositions and cool Kickstarter brands.
Fortis Dornier GMT Fortis is at it again. You might remember that since a few years now we follow this Grenchen brand’s activity on Fratello Watches. Just this year we have already looked at two of their new releases. Michael had a Classic Cosmonaut Chronograph to play with, while I took the Aeromaster Steel Chronograph for a […]
