Let’s move away from the Rolex brands for a bit and looks at something a little different, such as this cool version of the TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition.
Grand Seiko Evolution 9

The Evolution 9 Collection represents the future of Grand Seiko. Based on the Grand Seiko style which has inspired each and every creation since 1967, the Evolution 9 Collection takes the legibility and comfort of Grand Seiko to a new level.
Today, the realm of the Evolution 9 Collection expands with the addition of five new Spring Drive sport watches. Two feature a GMT caliber, two are GMT chronographs and the fifth is a 200m diver’s watch.
The refinements of the Evolution 9 Style are also clear to see; the lugs are wider and the bracelets are more robust and, like the cases, have a low center of gravity to ensure that the watches sit comfortably and securely on the wrist.
The hands are bolder and more clearly differentiated for even greaternlegibility and the numerals on the bezel are of a new font developed especially for the Evolution 9 Collection.
The cases and bracelets are made of high-intensity titanium, which is about 30% lighter than stainless steel and brighter in color.
2022-03-30T09:15:37.311ZRolex Day-Date 40(Image credit: Rolex)The Day-Date has always epitomized prestige and luxury – the peak of human achievement.

Another stunning bi-metal release from Tudor – this time in chronograph form.
The Black Bay Chrono S&G is craftedin steel and yellow gold, with a self-winding Manufacture Calibre, featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch.
Like all models in the Black Bay line, the Black Bay Chrono S&G adopts TUDOR’s characteristic angular “Snowflake” hands, which first appeared in the brand’s 1969 catalogue. The result of a subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking.
2022-03-30T10:07:32.107Z"Tudor has been producing watches that are closely tied to the world of motorsport since the presentation of the Oysterdate in 1970, the brand’s first chronograph.

The Black Bay Chrono S&G model combines these traditions in a sport-chic chronograph, with contrasting sub-counters and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre, with column wheel and vertical clutch."

(Image credit: IWC)
Okay, I’m back from lunch and now I’ll be focusing on a collection of stunning watches from IWC.
Inside the 44mm ceramic case is the IWC-manufacture 69380 calibre, featuring a classic column-wheel design. The chronograph also features a day and date display at 3 o’clock.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Top Gun Edition “Woodland”

If you worry that you wouldn’t be able to keep a white watch clean, then how about this dark green model instead?
The colored ceramic results from a sophisticated manufacturing process in which zirconium oxide is mixed with other metallic oxides. Because the color changes during the sintering process, it takes countless trials and a lot of experience to determine the right blend of raw materials.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun Ceratanium
(Image credit: IWC)
(Image credit: IWC)
This might be the most special release from IWC, as it’s made from ‘Ceratanium’ a ground-breaking material that features the unique advantages of titanium and ceramic.
This patented material is as light and unbreakable as titanium, but at the same time similarly hard and scratch-resistant as ceramic.
It took IWC’s material engineers five-year to accomplish this feat, and is created in a sophisticated manufacturing process, that not only gives the components their outstanding material properties but also their matte black, metallic colour.
2022-03-30T12:39:21.846ZHublot Square Bang Unico(Image credit: Hublot)Hublot has unveiled its own interpretation of the square watch, a, perhaps surprsingly, totally new geometry for the brand.The new shape actually caused a number of issues for Hublot, first of which is the movement. Since every calibre has the wheel as its basic component, it therefore needs a round movement. This is why most watchmakers hide their movement, to give the illusion of using a shaped movement.Hublot decided to take a different direction, putting its own, in-house Unico movement on show. The chronograph has a column wheel visible at 6 o’ clock, while its bicompax display dispenses with a dial, to reveal its secret inner workings.Five 42mm models are available. The first three are in solid titanium, black ceramic or King Gold. The last two blend titanium or King Gold with a black ceramic bezel. Each model comes with a black rubber strap and a folding clasp in the same material as the case.

Hublot decided to get to grips with the shape in order to explore its power and create a totally unique timepiece.

Patek Philippe reinforces the iconic Calatrava collection, in vintage-style, with a new refined case in white gold guilloched with a hobnail pattern or “Clous de Paris” on the entire circumference of the case band.
The stunning charcoal grey vintage-inspired dial features a black-gradient rim, with its slightly grainy texture is reminiscent of antique camera cases.

Another stunning Chronomaster from Zenith, this one featuring a partially open dial to reveal the regulating organ and escapement inside.
Housed in a fairly compact 39.5mm case in steel or rose gold, the new Chronomaster Open revisits the iconic tri-colour dial configuration with a transparent twist. Instead of cutting out the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock entirely, as was the case with the previous generation, the three counter colours are kept thanks to a hesalite crystal element that serves as a readable sub-dial while allowing a view of the silicon star-shaped escape wheel.

The launch collection offers a choice of three dial colours: grey, blue and salmon. This is a fresh, expressive palette, chosen to augment the case.
And then there’s the view from the other side – with the titanium case back and open sapphire crystal framing the Oris Calibre 400, the brand’s in-house five-day automatic movement.
As with all Calibre 400 Series movements, it’s accurate to -3 to +5 seconds a day and carries an impressive 10-year warranty and 10-year recommended service interval.

In watchmaking history, the perpetual calendar is among the most challenging high complications. Fashioning a movement able to automatically adjust the day and date of each month while correcting for leap years is one of the markers of true horological mastery. The new Luminor Goldtech Calendario Perpetuo is a limited-edition watch available in only 33 pieces, whose purchasers will also be invited on a unique journey to Florence to experience Panerai heritage first-hand.

Carrying on with the more ‘out-there’ designs we’ve got the Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table Monotourbillon.
The 12 Knights, each 6mm tall with its own personality and armour, were cast in Pink Gold 750/1000 and crafted individually through micro-sculpture. They sit within translucent purple blocks carved from Murano glass that appear to levitate around the Monotourbillon while the double surfaced flange is carved from a single block of Murano glass too.
To realise this effect, playing with no less than eight layers of décor around the dial was needed; a true marvel considering the limited surface area.
