Hands-Up With The Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Berluti Watch

I’m entirely conscious of this Hublot x Berluti piece will be a rather polarising watch. A bold creation, getting a particular uniqueness plus a very unusual refinement it had not been to everyone’s liking, as they are frequently the problem with Hublot, having a couple of calling it irrelevant. Somewhat this can be positive. No less than, it proves that Hublot dares and doesn’t create conservative objects to thrill everybody. Personally, I loved it and discovered it justified and well performed.  Carrying out a 3-hands type of Baselworld 2016, Hublot boosts the collection this year with another limited edition (similar to timepieces created through the brand…) employing the same leather dial, the identical color plan but adding a chronograph function for the package, allowing the Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Berluti replica watch . Basically, the recipe is similar: two watches, one inch black ceramic, one inch 18K King Gold, one with black leather, one with brown leather....

Hands-On The TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford Watch

To be totally candid, I've never cared for Bamford blacked-out watches. We all choose our things about which to be irrationally doctrinaire in this world. Some people are intolerant of date windows (on principle), some people are intolerant of anything over 38mm in diameter (on principle,) some people are intolerant of non-in-house movements, and on and on. I've always been intolerant of so-called "modded watches," and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the closet museum conservator in me, but I hate the idea of taking a finished watch as the starting point for significant cosmetic modifications. I would never tell anyone what to do with their own watch, but that doesn't stop me from privately deploring it when it happens. However this time we have, you might say, a horse of a different color. The relationship, somehow, seems to make the whole thing more plausible (like I said, this is irrational; the general feel of the designs isn't markedly different ...

Hands-On The Breitling Chronomat Colt Automatic 41 Watch

In step with their ongoing brand refresh, Breitling recently announced an update to their Chronomat Colt range that offers a new look in both 44mm and 41mm sizes. While the 41mm diameter is not new to the Colt line, it does represent something of a sweet spot in terms of sport watch size and Breitling has included a pair of new dial colors in this low-key but welcome rethinking of the everyman's Chronomat. Typically characterized by a chunky steel bezel with Breitling's signature "rider tabs" for added grip, the Chronomat line has traditionally housed a wide and varying array of watches that all loosely fall into the "all purpose" category. Tough, burly, and often quite large, Breitling has seen fit to continue the Chronomat's placement within their lineup, distinct from their newly defined Air/Water/Earth organization scheme (which is represented by the Navitimer, Superocean, and Transocean, respectively). The Colt has traditionally been one of the e...
