Zenith Defy 21 Urban Jungle; A Ceramic Survival Watch For City Life And Outdoor Adventures

Can a watch be everything at the same time? Zenith is making a plausible case that it can, with the new Defy 21 Urban Jungle. For the brand, this model proves to be a versatile canvas that can be lavishly decorated with gemstones, like the previously released Pink Edition, or be down to earth like the Land Rover Limited Edition. Two things that even the more extreme watches in the collection share are their superb performance and strong Zenith-DNA. READ MORE

Haute Complication: Louis Vuitton Voyager Flying Tourbillon Poinçon de Genève

With their ‘Factory of time,’ or la Fabrique du Temps, does Louis Vuitton possess a manufacture capable of making even the most complicated watches in-house.

Panerai Takes Platinum To The Next Level With Platinumtech Luminor Marina

These days, many brands have proprietary gold-alloys that improve the properties of conventional ones. Rolex Everose gold is a good example, which not only offers a richer color but combines this with the added advantage that it hardly tarnishes over time. Hublot even achieved significantly increasing the scratch resistance of gold by combining it with ceramic in their Magic Gold. Platinum alloys are far rarer. In part, this is because there is literally less room to innovate. With 18 karat gold, 750 of every 1000 particles in the alloy are pure gold, the other 250 particles are other metals. These are not only needed to make the alloy harder but can also change the color, most commonly into white, pink, or red.
