Celebrating its 100th year, Tudor brings to the table a nod to its past, the resurrected Tudor Monarch. The Monarch was once a key element of the watchmaker’s lineup, popularly available in two-tone, carrying a softer, very 1990s aesthetic, that has since disappeared from their catalogue. Making a spectacular reentry, the new Monarch presents an exciting blend of vintage allure and modern sensibilities.
The redesigned Monarch is a distinct presence in Tudor’s lineup owing to its angular case design. The case caught the eye due to its sharp faceted look, a trend that’s quite popular in recent watch designs. But the reinterpreted Monarch isn’t just about aesthetics; it also offers practical advantages including an 11.9 mm thickness, 100m water resistance, and a screw-down crown under its stylish facade.
Following the groundbreaking Piaget’s Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon, Bulgari has risen to new heights in ultra-thin watchmaking. Just a year after Piaget’s record-breaking creation, the world’s thinnest tourbillon at 2mm, Bulgari introduced the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon. Crafted in titanium, it challenged the limits of watchmaking mechanics and form factors, reaching a remarkable thinness of 1.85mm. Now, keeping the same ultra-thin 1.85mm profile, the horological marvel is set in platinum, crafting an elegant and pure expression of mechanical ingenuity.
