Event Report: Tudor Launched The Black Bay Bronze.

Recently, Tudor ran a very successful campaign in Singapore with the launch of the Black Bay Bronze. The launch was met with an overwhelming response from the public and watch collectors alike. In expectation of the huge turnout, Tudor led guests in by batches. This enabled everyone to take a closer look and be given an opportunity to try on the Black Bay Bronze, instead of just putting it in a display case. I felt that this was a brilliant idea, providing guests some personal time with the watch. Guests were able to examine it up close and have a sense of how it felt on their wrists.

Vacheron Constantin 2016 Overseas Collection.

This year Vacheron Constantin revamped their iconic Overseas collection. There are five new models this year. Each model comes with additional leather and rubber straps that are easily interchangeable. Slim is in and the Overseas Ultra Thin caught my eye: slim, chic and very good looking! Following are pics of three of the models that I have selected to feature.

 Overseas Ultra-Thin in 18K white gold, 44 mm case and 7.5mm thick.

A slim case with the automatic Cal. 1120 beating inside. 

The more affordable Overseas Automatic in stainless steel case (Cal 5100). There is also a pink gold version. Definitely more elegant than the older version.   

 White or blue dial?

I think the blue looks better!

Strap change on all Overseas models (spring lever) made easy with this new design. You don't have to use any strap changing tool and the risk of scratching the watch. 

 The Overseas Chrono (in-house Cal 5200) featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch system for a smoother start and stop of the chronograph.

Finally the Overseas Small model for ladies.

Looking good on a lady's wrist!
