It is not often that we get really excited about a watch but the new S05 collection with black DLC coated titanium cases from Armand Nicolet are truly gorgeous. DLC stands for Diamond Like Carbon and as its name suggests it is an extremely scratch resistant and hard wearing coating which improves the resilience of the base metal, in this case titanium. DLC was originally developed for military safety critical applications, and is used extensively in F1 and by NASA. What makes this watch attractive is the innovative mix of matt black and a splash of colour on the dial, as you can guess, we absolutely love it.

This particular model, T618N-NR-G9610, is the complete calendar chronograph, containing the Armand Nicolet in-house AN 7751 TNK calibre movement. The matt black dial is extremely striking and the hour markers and hands have been applied with a black luminous coating. The 44mm case is a great size, balanced by a thickness of 15mm. The crystal is anti-glare, and screw down crown and case back provide water resistance to 30 ATM (300m). An absolutely gorgeous watch, available now http://www.watchconcierge.co.uk, go on, be different....
