Monochrome – dedicated to fine watches

First of all, thank you for visiting my weblog.

My name is Frank Geelen, working and living in the Netherlands. The last 8 years I frequented all major watch forums during evenings and weekends and I’ve become very passionate about watches. Over time, reading and posting on several forums, started to cost more and more time. There’s just so much information! That’s why I decided to start making my own selection of interesting watch-related news and personal thoughts about watches. Let me know what you think and share your thoughts by posting a comment.

Another reason for starting Monochrome is to give more attention to watches made by Independent Watchmakers. Their watches get only a minimal amount of attention in all watch-related media. What BIG watch brands or Manufactures do with hundreds or thousands of people, they do alone or with just a few employees. Independent Watchmakers have my sincere and deep respect.
