Giuliano Mazzuoli knows that better than anyone else. Unfortunately… From a robbery to Crowe’s and Sheeran’s wrists When Giuliano Mazzuoli entered his workshops on the early morning on Sunday, May 12, the Italian watchmaker encountered […]
Edox isn’t our typical brand here, at MONOCHROME. Still, their latest offering is a pretty cool piece. The new SkyDiver Military Limited Edition is based on a mystery from 1973, when a wealthy Swiss colonel is rumored to have commissioned a secretive limited-edition SkyDiver series for elite paratroopers under his command. Little more than sketches […]

Take a company with true legitimacy in “Flieger” pilots watches, create a nice, well-proportioned time-and-date watch with just enough vintage and military inspiration, give it a robust yet easy-to-source automatic movement, add a touch of trendy style with a gradient green dial and sell it for a reasonable price… and you end up with the […]
Today in New York, TAG Heuer just presented the third of five limited-edition timepieces to mark the Heuer Monaco’s 50th anniversary. We could have expected the brand to come with faithful vintage re-editions, but instead, TAG Heuer will create 5 watches inspired by 5 different decades. After a funky 1970s Green version and a bold, fiery red racing-inspired model for the 1980s, it is time to look at the 1990s, a decade driven by industrial-design and street-style fashion. Meet the TAG Heuer Monaco 1989-1999 Limited Edition and its unprecedented grey-blue design.
Do we even need to introduce the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph anymore…? This watch certainly is amongst the most iconic pieces manufactured by the Schaffhausen-based brand and, in its modern version, sums up years of slow evolution of the Pilot’s Watch concept at IWC. Usually seen in black with a utilitarian look (under the ref. […]

When it comes to H. Moser & Cie. you certainly figure an elegant, slightly original watch with an ultra-clean “fumé” dial. And you’d be right in thinking so. However, there’s more at Neuhausen am Rheinfall (the home of the brand). The brand also has a sports watch under its sleeve, under the name Pioneer – which we’ve already reviewed here. Today, Moser launches its boldest version to date, with a signature Funky Blue dial and, more original, a black DLC-coated case. Meet the Pioneer Centre Seconds Funky Blue Black Edition.
