CORUM - Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Tides Iate Clube de Santos Limited Edition NEW

CORUM - On the Brazilian Market

Swiss watch manufacturer Corum is making an eagerly awaited appearance in Brazil in June, bringing with it the high quality and design of its famous watches that are worn by international celebrities and high-end watchmaking lovers from all over the world. In partnership with Grifith Jeweller, Corum organized an event in the renowned and luxurious Cidade Jardim shopping mall, during which guests and journalists enjoyed an opportunity to discover the brand’s entire collection. The guests then had the privilege of meeting Loick Peyron and spending exclusive moments with the Corum family.




















 Antonio Calce, Corum CEO and Partner said “Latin America is an important market for the watchmaking industry and for the development of our Brand. Thanks to our partnership with Grifith Jeweller, we will strengthen our presence in the Brazilian market. Today Brazil not only plays an important role in the South American market, but also acts as a catalyst in the rest of the world, which means it is essential to develop visibility on this market. This is the beginning of a trustworthy longterm partnership.”

To mark its new deployment and to commemorate its re-launch on the Brazilian market, Corum presented a timepiece that will definitely please brand aficionados: Limited Edition Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Tides Iate Clube de Santos.

“It’s a tribute to the 65th anniversary of the Iate Clube de Santos, one of the most important nautical institutions in Brazil, and to this end Corum chose one of its most emblematic models, the Admiral’s Cup 48 Tides”, explains Cedric Doffey, Director for Corum Latin America.

 Launched for the first time in 1993, the Admiral’s Cup 48 Tides is considered a huge innovation in the watchmaking industry and is still a benchmark in the world of high-end timepieces. More than just a watch, the Admiral’s Cup 48 Tides is an essential navigation instrument.

It provides important nautical information such as the strength of the tide, an estimation of the water levels, the strength of the currents and the time of the tide. It is equipped with Caliber CO277 providing a 42-hour power reserve along with Corum’s exclusive tides module, certified by the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of French National Marina and ensuring full indications of the height of successive tides. The model is presented in two versions: a sporty titanium edition water-resistant to 300 meters, and a more urban model in 5N 18K red gold which is water-resistant to 50 meters.
The Limited Edition consists of 65 pieces and comes in two different models: one in titanium which features blue and yellow details – in reference to the colors of the Iate Clube de Santos – and the second in pink gold.

IWC - PILOT’s Watches Collection Special Edition "Father and Son"
















IWC Schaffhausen PILOT’s Watches Collection Special Edition "Father and Son" NEW

 Big Pilot’s Watch for Father and Son & Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI for Father and Son

For men with a strong sense of family, IWC Schaffhausenis set to take off on a new mission with its exclusive special edition Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son. 
With the Big Pilots Watch and the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI, father and son retain their individuality while demonstrating a mutual passion for the exquisite. These two unusual timepieces form a perfect family unit and are symbolic of a fascination with precision engineering and aviation handed down from one generation to the next.

They are a strong team. They need few words to understand each other. And they have a weakness for sophisticated technology. “Father and son are bound together by a special feeling of belonging. Our new Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son are the perfect opportunity for any family wishing to streng then this bond and to proclaim it stylishly to the outside world, ”comments Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, on the roll-out of this extraordinary pair of watches. In 2012, the year of the Pilot’s Watches, the watch manufacturer renowned for masculine timepieces is launching its second special edition since 2008 for the men in the family; or – to retain the language of flying – the pilot and co-pilot. In life, as in the cockpit, it is a question of being able to rely on one another and of giving the junior member of the team an increasing degree of responsibility. Fathers pass on to their sons vital personal qualities, such as self-confidence, ambition and a sense of responsibility. And not infrequently, a father’s enthusiasm for engineering and perfect craftsmanship will be inherited by the younger generation.

Equipment for the men in the family


For years now, the Pilot’s Watches from IWC Schaffhausen have been growing increasingly popular. They represent a pioneering spirit, combined with a sense of derring-do and adventure. IWC Schaffhausen has taken 2012, its year of the high-flyers, as an opportunity to give the Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son permission to take off yet again.

For fathers, the model of choice is the Big Pilot’s Watch with power reserve and date display. With its impressive 46-millimetre case diameter, it is one of the seriously big players in its field. In watch making terms, it goes way beyond conventional limits: the automatic 51111-calibre movement with its spring-mounted rotor and Pellaton pawl-winding system builds up a power reserve of 168 hours. The power reserve of the mainspring would last even longer, but the movement is stopped automatically after 7 days to ensure the requisite high level of precision.

The smaller edition for the son, with its 39-millimetre case and automatic 30110-calibre movement is, technically speaking, virtually identicalto the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI. This functionaltimepiece has a 42-hour power reserve and,apart from the time, also shows the date. Waterresistance to 6 bar and a glass secured againstdrops in air pressure make the Pilot’s Watchfor sons a reliable everyday companion.

Even if the technical specifications of the two models differ, the visible similarities are unmistakable. Both watches have a stainlesssteel case, an eye-catching crown and a black, riveted alligator leather strap. The shape of the hands, outlined in black, is reminiscent of propeller blades. The inner surface is coated with green luminescent material to guarantee optimum legibility against the rhodium-plated dial. The Big Pilot’s Watch is fitted with a folding clasp while the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI comes with a pin buckle as standard or, at additional cost, with a folding clasp. A gift to last for generations.

It is a hallowed tradition to present the people who mean the most to us with valuable timepieces. Whether as a sign of affection, out of recognition for special service or in memory of a joyful occasion, watches are simply one of the most personal gifts of them all. In this respect, the Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son send out a clear signal. Inscribed with a dedication, both the Big Pilot’s Watch and the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI become valuable family heirlooms that can be passed on from one generation to the next. The inner circle on the case back of both watches is reserved for the engraving of a name, as a stylish dedication and to prevent mix-ups: a practical feature, because this Pilot’s Watch set can be extended to include several watches for fathers with two or more sons.

HANHART - Pioneer MonoScope


HANHART - PIONEER MonoScope Сhronograph  NEW

PIONEER MonoScope – One for all

Just like its legendary predecessors produced by Hanhart, the Pioneer MonoScope features a single button for controlling the entire range of chronograph functions. This new model from the Pioneer collection also bears another striking hallmark of the early precision timepieces made by the Swiss-German watch brand in the widely spaced arrangement of its small seconds and 30- minute counter displays.

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO
In the first half of the 20th century, Hanhart was a key pioneer in developing highly-functional precision chronographs. As early as 1938, the Swiss-German watch brand designed a mono-pusher model for naval officers, featuring its own “Calibre 40” movement.


All of the chronograph functions on this unconventional wristwatch – start, stop and reset – are performed by the same button and always follow strictly one after the other. Unlike its two-button equivalent, the seconds hand on this chronograph cannot be restarted after it is stopped. The next time the button is pressed, the seconds hand invariably jumps back to its initial position. This is the perfect technology for navigating safely and measuring distances at sea as it rules out any possibility of faulty navigation by dispensing with an addition stopping function.

Extraordinary technology and aesthetics

The technical design with a single button is also the trademark feature of the Pioneer MonoScope. The automatic movement enclosed in the generously-sized stainless steel case, which measures 45 millimetres in diameter, has had to be re-engineered slightly to suit this mono-pusher arrangement. The lever which sits directly beneath the point where the button at 4 o’clock would normally be has no function. A large shift lever is therefore responsible for the third strike on the chronograph cam. This cam has also been modified so that it has an additional tooth on its lowest level, enabling the shift lever to control not two, but three positions.

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

This is not, however, the only distinctive element of this new model in the Pioneer collection. A further modification of the calibre has made it possible for the two displays for the small seconds and the 30-minute counter, which are typical of Hanhart chronographs, to be positioned right on the edge of the dial. The aesthetic appearance of this model is therefore perfectly coordinated with the design of its predecessors from the 1930s, for which this arrangement was adopted in order to accommodate the large size – 15.5 lignes – of Hanhart’s early manufacture calibre.

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO


On the Pioneer MonoScope, the centres of the two displays, together with the numerals 2 and 4 as well as 8 and 10, form a straight, vertical axis, resulting in a symmetrically-balanced presentation. Flawless readability, in the characteristic style of a functional instrument watch, is ensured in any situation by the distinctive luminous Arabic numerals and the hands which are also coated with Super-LumiNova®. This is also enhanced by the minute hand, the end of which is bent downwards slightly to ensure a more precise time display. The black and silver colours used on this watch reflect the colours traditionally preferred for precision timepieces.

The typical Hanhart features

In addition to the unmistakable bicompax display format, the new MonoScope – like the other models in the Pioneer collection – is distinguished by the typical characteristics of a Hanhart chronograph: the upper chronograph button, positioned at a greater distance from the lug for more ease of use, is especially striking and is a feature unique to this watch manufacturer. In order to achieve this arrangement, Hanhart integrates a specially designed lever into the case in its own workshops. This redirects the force from pressing the button located at 2 o’clock by the required number of millimetres. No less eye-catching is the striking red button, which has been a hallmark of Hanhart watches since 1939 and, right from the start, it has helped to deter wearers from inadvertently resetting the stopped time during navigation. 
The large, easy-to-handle crown with a deep bevelled edge guarantees safe and simple use. The bezel is available either in a thin design which can be rotated in either direction and which comes with a fluted, slip-proof finish and red marking or in an elegant and plain design with a flat surface. Elegantly contrasting satin-finished and polished surfaces give the case distinctive character. To guarantee maximum water-resistance and robustness, the Pioneer MonoScope is, like the archetypal models on which it is based, fitted with a sealed, screwed-down case back which includes three indentations for the case key. The rivetted strap made from firm, hard-wearing calfskin and a high-quality pin buckle offer a secure fit on the wrist. The Pioneer MonoScope is also optionally available with a stainless steel bracelet and an adjustable folding clasp.
