Ateliers DeMonaco Tourbillon "Xtreme Precision" Oculus Petite Minute Watch Hands-On
Last year in 2014, the boutique watch company Ateliers DeMonaco releases their new newest model, the Tourbillon Oculus Petite Minute watch with a version in 18k rose gold and one in 18k white gold – each has titanium in the case as well. It also represents one of their most cost-effective tourbillon-based watches, and one that is both attractive and accurate, according the brand. I go hands-on to take a look at this rare Swiss/Monegasque timepiece.Pim Koeslag wears many hats. In addition to being the technical director of Frederique Constant and Alpina, he also runs Ateliers DeMonaco. You might recall when I spent time with Pim at Frederique Constant in Geneva in 2013, when he taught a fellow best watches audience member and myself how to build a watch. I last covered a few DeMonaco Tourbillon watches here, which, you’ll notice, cost significantly more than the DeMonaco Tourbillon Oculus Petite Minute collection.
Giuliano Mazzuoli Cemento Watch
When it comes to watches, and particularly the new releases that hit around this time of year, we like to keep an eye out for the different, or otherwise unusual announcements. While this sometimes takes the form of designs or complications, it can also be something as simple as a material used. As a case in point, we have the recently announced Giuliano Mazzuoli Cemento watch.Now, as you might surmise from its name, the Giuliano Mazzuoli Cemento is indeed made using cement. No, they have not tried working it in as some weird ceramic replacement in the movement. Rather, Giuliano Mazzuoli took their Carrara watch, which features the use of marble for the case, and went with a specially treated and polished cement in its place.
