We from Monochrome love beautiful photos showing gorgeous timepieces and the so-called lume-shot is one our favorite ways to show a watch. When we saw this lume-shot of a Ressence, it was immediately clear that this was the new Weekly Watch Photo. Ressence is an independent Belgian (!!) watch brand that made name and fame when they launched their first watch 2 years ago. The reason for this is that the Ressence Zero Series features more or less the same way to display time as the Harry Winston Opus X, that was also launched at Baselworld 2010!
Monochrome has been making an effort of bringing you the most stunning watch photos , every week a new set from photographers all around the world. Whether the photos are made by professional photographers, like Bert Buijsrogge (check here and here), Ming Thein (see here) or Martin Wilmsen (see here for an example), or hobbyist who post iPhone photos on a Facebook group called wrist shots (check them here), we search for the coolest, most stylish and mouthwatering photos of equally stunning timepieces.

When it comes to classic and extremely desirable timepieces, Kari Voutilainen's Observatoire is on the short list of many collectors. In today's Weekly Watch Photo we show you an Observatoire and tell more about its (base) movement, the competition chronometer Peseux 260. The stunning photos are from Gary, the proud owner of this magnificent beauty.
There are watches of significance, watches of history, and then there are watches of legend. That's how Max started his article about the legendary Type 20 and Type 21 Flyback chronographs made for the French military. Today we show you some great photos of an older Breguet Type 20. Produced from the 1950's until the 1970's and in 1985 production was started again until this day. The difference between the two production periods is that watches from the 1950's to the first half of the 1970's were produced for the French military. In 1985 Breguet started to produce them for the consumer market.
Some years ago - in a period when TAG Heuer had advertisements with celebrities who know how to strap a watch on their wrist instead of holding them in their hands - they had a "Classics" collection comprising a variety of re-issues of important watches from the 1960's and 1970's. Today our Weekly Watch Photo is dedicated to one of these watches, which is also one of my all time favorites... the TAG Heuer Autavia.
We don't know where Konstantin Chaykin went for vacation, but it looks like he went to some sort of futuristic moon landscape. Well, the result is befitting for photos of the Lunokhod. For this timepiece is a tribute to the Sovjet Union's moon-walkers, called the Lunokhod!
Weekly Watch Photo is back, only to show you some beautiful watches and nice photos, for the sake of the art. We’ve already presented you the entire collection of Julien Coudray 1528, including this Tourbillon. And we told you; this watch is a masterpiece of traditional watchmaking. So we’ve been to the manufacture, visited the workshop and grabbed one of their watches, that adorned one of our contributor’s wrists during Baselworld. So sit back and relax. Here is the Competentia 1515 in Red Gold.
Our Weekly Watch Photo has evolved from showing one photo to a set of photos, all showing the same or similar watches. Of course the watch(es) are beautiful and the photos are of such quality that they increase your desire to add this watch to your collection. Of course I cannot help myself and have to tell more about the watch in question, so the WWP is usually accompanied with background information or interesting facts about that watch. This week we'll have a look at one of my personal favorites, the vintage Heuer Autavia GMT.
With our Weekly Watch Photo of this week we go back to our roots. Showing photos that made an impact on us and we're not going to write an extensive story about it. Why, you might wonder? Because there simply isn't much information to be found about the LIP watch in question. The photographer is Frenchmen Etienne Malec, who's photos can be admired here at his website
Shortly before Baselworld started this year, we tried to predict what Tudor would be presenting at the world's biggest watch show. Our prediction was not spot on, however the watches presented by Tudor (the Tudor Black Bay ref. 79220B and the Tudor Ranger ref. 79910) were even better than what we imagined. Especially the Black Bay with Midnight Blue bezel. That one was 'talk of the town' among the watch press for the entire week that Baselworld lasts. Photographer Vincent Lions also loved this watch and immediately ordered one, when he saw the first photos appear online. Lucky for us, because he made some splendid photos that we can share with you.
Two years ago, I took an online class about product photography editing that completely changed the way I approach the photographic process. Coming from a
One of the type of watch photos that I really like, are the so-called wrist-shots. Photos of a watch on the wrist, in its natural habitat so to speak. Simon C is community manager of Bell & Ross and he frequently posts wrist-shots on his Facebook page. So I figured, let's share Simon's wrist-shots to give you an example of what's possible. Simon C posts his photos here on Facebook, however there are more source to find wrist-shots, like Wristshot Facebook Group and following Twitter with hashtag #womw (meaning what's on my wrist... or watch on my wrist). And the Friday Roll Call post, that I already used as source earlier like this magnificent Omega Seamaster PloProf. So now enjoy Simon's wrist shots showing several Bell & Ross watches....

There seems to become a new trend. Watch brands are making really lovely photos of their timepieces, like the IWC photos of the Big Pilot's Watch we showed. Now we show you some new official photos A. Lange & Söhne made of the Lange 1 Timezone Piece Unique for Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este that we featured last week. The photos are made inside an old BMW 507 Roadster, a gorgeous classic and possibly one of my favorite cars of all times! Lange & Söhne took the 'piece unique' and draped it over a leather driver's glove on the steering wheel.

Learn how to make vintage photo locket bracelets with old wrist watches and your favorite antique photos.

Another start of the week with Monochrome's Weekly Watch Photo and today we'll show you just how incredibly beautiful vintage Omega watches can be. Last week we showed you photos of a vintage LIP, which were made by Etienne Malec. Well, Etienne sent us some more photos and we think they are simply brilliant. Of course, the watches shown in the photos are very beautiful, but we also think that the way they are displayed adds to our desire to own one, to wear one. So please enjoy the photos and after that we wish you happy hunting.
