Hublot Big Bang King All Black Blue (ref. 322.CI.1190.GR.ABB09) Automatic Diver

Aug 31, 2009 by Evgueni Matoussevitch 3643 views

The limited edition Hublot Big Bang King All Black Blue (ref. 322.CI.1190.GR.ABB09) is finally presented in a larger than life 48 mm black ceramic body. The new member of the family seems to partially overcome All Black series' main problem: total lack of legibility regardless of lighting conditions. Even if the new "blue on black" color scheme doesn't add much to the timekeeper's legibility in normal light, the watch will surely be a lot more readable in the dark or even under water. Although I am seriously frightened that somewhere out there roams a maniac who is ready to take this expensive dark beauty for a swim in a salty, aggressive water.

The new Favre-Leuba Bathy V.2 mechanical depth meter is one of those diving watches any watchmaker can be proud of. Although it clearly won't become such an omnipresent luxury accessory as Rolex Submariner, the device still deserves some attention of true connoisseurs thanks to its built-in mechanical pressure gauge, which is not only easy to read, but is also quite interesting from the point of view of industrial design.

Blancpain Speed Command Chronograph watch

May 05, 2008 by Evgueni Matoussevitch 2738 views

Here comes the big one. With its 45mm Blancpain Speed Command Chronograph (ref. 5785F-11D03-63), the Swiss watchmaker has introduced its sportiest model so far. Although the basic design of the timekeeper defies the recent trend of making rugged-looking devices (inspired by real tools, they often come with lots of angles, lots of machine-brushed surfaces and feature deliberately rudimentary, even crude look to their components), the new Speed Command makes a strong impression thanks to its glossy black sapphire bezel and scratch-resistant body of the same color.
