(05/2012) Since 2009, Swiss watch Manufacturer Frédérique Constant celebrates the legendary Runabout yachts of the Roaring Twenties, by offering an attractive series of limited edition timepieces named “Runabout”.
(05/2012) The sleek curves of the case are offset by angled planes defining the many personalities of this versatile line. Diamonds, Rubies, Peridots, Iolites, Citrines, Pink Tourmalines and Amethysts make up the dials of the Promess Baguette.
(05/2012) In 2009, Breitling took its place within the exclusive circle of watch companies with their own mechanical chronograph movement. Not only was the development of this Caliber 01 intended to ensure the brand's long-term independence, but as a specialist of chronographs and instruments for professionals, Breitling also set itself the goal of making the world's best chronograph movement.
(05/2012) Before man devised instruments to track time, the ancients measured their days by the movement of the sun across the sky, and their seasons by the subtly shifting position of the stars twinkling in the night firmament. For 2012, Movado – renowned for its iconic Museum dial defined by a single dot at 12 symbolizing the sun at high noon – presents the Red Label Skymap.
(05/2012) The sporty, daring and elegant Colt 33 reflects the true nature of the Breitling woman. It is now interpreted through an original collection combining exclusive new leather straps composing a delightful bouquet of bright colors, a quintessentially feminine expression of the Breitling spirit.
(03/2012) There are places where a step or a stroke when swimming or rowing can propel one from today into yesterday or tomorrow. But where does this dateline lie?The sun, the earth, and the stars would plead for a straight line—but since there are countries, and countries have boundaries, the international dateline sometimes zigzags. And then sometimes this line is shifted—as Samoa, an island state on this boundary, recently did.
(03/2012) The optical qualities of gold combined with great elegance and the trust that wood and earth convey to us: Zürich braungold is the name of a new variant of the manliest NOMOS watch, the Zürich. This likeably solid color also sets one thinking of warmth, power, and a good whiskey; it isn’t as hard as black, and at the same time it’s even more elegant. And that, for several years now in fashion, brown has gone well with black is all the better.
(03/2012) True to its motto, Atlantic Watch SA is proposing its new “Seashore” line, comprising models that combine classicism and simplicity, and with an enviable price-performance ratio, to say the very least. The 42mm high-quality steel case lends a feeling of determination while remaining thoroughly classical, and reinforces the hours displayed with a sporting allure, sometimes laboriously, sometimes casually.
(03/2012) Following the successful launch of the Pacific Line last year, Chronoswiss sends a fresh wind through its color schemes in 2012: there is now a lot more variety both on the dial and the case.
(03/2012) With the Searamic, Atlantic Watch SA has created an elegant line, as feminine as you like, with an innovative blend of noble steel and ceramic. The rectangular case, deceptively simple in appearance, surprises with its crystal covering the whole surface. A play of light enhances the sobriety of its contours, timeless form.
(03/2012) When the OMEGA Speedmaster was introduced in 1957, it was valued by motorsport and rally drivers for its chronograph performance and for its design aesthetics. In fact, its dial design was inspired by the dashboards of Italian cars of the time; it was also the first chronograph whose tachymetric scale was repositioned from the dial to the bezel.
(03/2012) A diving tool par excellence, the new TUDOR Pelagos is a fusion of technical mastery and mechanical reliability. It is also a proud reference to several style codes that have punctuated TUDOR’s history and left their mark on some of the company’s most iconic models. Capitalizing on this heritage, the Pelagos goes even further, inviting TUDOR to explore the silent world in a new dimension.
(03/2012) As Hamilton enters its 120th year of timekeeping on land, in the air and at sea, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer Limited Edition mirrors the brand’s deep-rooted maritime history. A finely crafted contemporary interpretation of the marine chronometers produced by Hamilton in the 1940s, this precision timekeeper doubles as a wristwatch and table-clock.
(03/2012) To explore the world’s fascinating seabeds, the Turbine watch adopts an original design that is as symbolic as it is functional. The rounded contours of the 11-blade upper rotor subtly evoke a submarine propeller. Spinning freely above the SuperLuminova-coated surface, it creates the illusion of an entirely luminescent dial that naturally gains intensity at night or in the darkness prevailing at great depths.
(03/2012) Ebel is first and foremost the story of a woman, Alice Lévy, who founded the brand with her husband Eugène Blum. Their combined initials gave rise to the brand name EBEL. Throughout its history, EBEL has distinguished itself by the originality and the beauty of its feminine watches.
