Vacheron Constantin - Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Gold

Vacheron Constantin - Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar 18 Carat Pink Gold NEW

The Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar model in 18- carat pink gold is the latest addition to Overseas collection, Vacheron Constantin’s sporting and technical line. This elegant and highly technical timepiece boasts a chronograph and a perpetual calendar – two of the complications most favoured by devotees of mechanical Haute Horlogerie.

This Overseas Perpetual Calendar model, boasting all the signature features of this collection, radiates a sophisticated, refined and immediately recognisable character – starting with the flowing and powerful lines of its case, the bezel inspired by Vacheron Constantin’s Maltese Cross emblem, along with the hourmarkers, crown, screw-lock pushers, as well as the caseback enhanced by a raised medallion depicting the famous three-mast Amerigo Vespucci ship.

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

Its 18-carat pink gold 42 mm-diameter case, like all men’s Overseas models, is guaranteed water-resistant to 15 bar (approximately 150 metres) and houses a soft iron cage protecting the mechanical movement from magnetic fields of up to 25,000 A/m.

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

The association between the pink colour of the case and the subtle sandy shade of the dial lends a luxurious sporting touch to this model. Like the other timepieces in this collection, the hands and hour-markers are accented with white luminescent substance ensuring perfect readability even in the dark.

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

This exceptional model representing a compendium of technical Haute Horlogerie beats to the rhythm of Calibre 1136 QP and its 228 parts: a mechanical self-winding movement – just as one would expect from a sports watch – oscillating at the rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour and endowed with an approximately 40- hour power reserve.

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

In addition to the hours, minutes and small seconds at 6 o’clock, Calibre 1136 QP powers the chronograph functions – sweep seconds-hand, 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock – as well as those of the perpetual calendar – day of the week, date, 48-month counter with leap years as well as a moon-phase display.

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

The Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar is delivered with two straps: one in vulcanised brown rubber and the other in brown alligator leather. A pink gold triple-blade, double-pusher folding clasp guarantees security and comfort for the wearer of this exceptional model.

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

This timepiece is also delivered with a luxurious presentation case equipped with a rotating mechanism that enables the watch – when not worn – to be kept perpetually wound and thereby ensure that the perpetual calendar indications are properly adjusted.

Alpina - Diver MidSize Collection



Alpina - Diver MidSize Collection

Alpina has always been associated with those who dare to push the boundaries of human endurance; people who take risks, daredevils who accept challenges most others would shun, and those who willingly, even eagerly, dive headlong into the adventure known as life.

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


As a salute to those who continue to delve into the last great unexplored domain on earth—that which lies beneath the surface of the mysterious sea—we proudly introduce our new Alpina Diver Midsize Collection.  Lovingly designed and carefully crafted to meet the most stringent demands of even experienced divers, every aspect of the Diver Midsize offers a glimpse into the world of “What if?”


What if I could dive as deep as this watch is designed to go; more than 1,000 feet beneath the surface.  What would I see?  What if I could lie on a beach under the palm tree just like the one so beautifully engraved into the 38mm-wide case back of the Diver Midsize, alongside the Alpina-branded air tanks?  What if I just strapped one of those watches on my wrist and dived right in?

One for women and one for...both!
The new Alpina Diver Midsize Collection is presented in two models.  For ladies, we offer a stunning Mother of Pearl white face, surrounded by eight sparkling diamonds that shine like the midday sun in a crystal clear Geneva sky.
Large white, luminous indices are placed at the 12 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, while an extra-large date window is located in the 3 o’clock position.  Alpina’s signature red triangle is proudly featured at the base of the silver second hand, while the hour and minute hands are luminous white with a silver surround.
 
     Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...    BIG FOTO

 
Ladies can choose between two attractive and functional straps.  With constant attention to a diver’s needs, the Alpina Diver Midsize white model comes with either a white rubber strap that can be adjusted to fit over the arm of a wetsuit, or the watch can be fitted with a stainless steel metal bracelet.  As with most things in life, the choice is yours.
The second model in the Alpina Diver Midsize range will certainly appeal to both men and women.  As the name suggests, with a diameter of 38mm, this midsize watch will look good on any wrist. 
    Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...    BIG FOTO


The striking black dial is set inside a shining stainless steel case.  Luminous white indices stand out from the black dial, and again, the extra-large date window is featured at the 3 o’clock location. 
Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...   BIG FOTO

The turnable uni-directional bezel has luminous engravings at the edges, and both quartz models come equipped with a battery that provides 45 months of dependable service.
 Alpina Diver Midsize faces are covered with sapphire crystal at the front, and the closed stainless steel back is engraved with the aforementioned palm tree, Alpina-branded air tanks and around the edge, the words “Alpina Extreme Diver” and “Swiss Made.”
 
Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...   BIG FOTO


Those opting for the black dial version of the Diver Midsize also have the choice of two straps.  They can select the stainless steel version, or a black rubber strap.

ARNOLD & SON - Hornet James Cook Set "Antarctica"



ARNOLD & SON - Hornet James Cook Set "Antarctica


























 
Arnold & Son was a preferred supplier of marine chronometers to the Royal Navy. Thanks to their precision, the company's instruments were indispensable as a means of determining longitude reliably at sea and accompanied many a captain and explorer on their voyages of discovery. Among them was Captain James Cook, one of the finest navigators and explorers of his era, whose three voyages to the Pacific Ocean are commemorated in glorious full-colour, hand-finished miniatures on the dials of these limited-edition (25) sets of three timepieces. The perfect traveller's watch, they feature indicators for two time zones (including half or quarter time zones), a big date display and a symmetrically ordered crown and pushpieces.

VALBRAY - OCULUS V.01 ANGEL & DEVIL Limited Edition
















The Valbray story starts in 2009 when two passionate people, an engineer and a designer, crossed paths…

Young and talented, Côme de Valbray and Olga Corsini, shared a rich experience in the luxury industry, a profound interest for the watchmaking world and the dream to propose their creativity in complete independence. At that time, Olga was working on a collection for a High Jewelry Parisian Maison and Côme was responsible for fabrication processes at a Swiss high-end watch manufacturer. Passionate about photography and optics, subjects of his end-of-studies thesis, Côme saw one day Olga’s designs inspired by spiral sea-shells and found a resemblance to a diaphragm system. The idea to create timepieces with a modern and timeless design based on this complex mechanism crossed his mind.

One year later, the first prototype was realized and the feasibility of the aperture mechanism was validated.
A meeting of chance and the tenacity of a research gave life to Valbray

VALBRAY - OCULUS V.01   DEVIL   LIMITED EDITION



The uniqueness of the Valbray System

The revolutionary Valbray’s obturator system, that recalls the intensity diaphragm on photography, is a pure example of contemporary micro-mechanical masterpiece, applied on the watchmaking tradition. 
 
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...























Valbray has invested more than two exiting years of teamwork to realize it, tackling several challenges. Finally Valbray did it and registered the patent in 2010.
 
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...
















The system is composed by 16 extra thin blades, entirely fitted in a rotating bezel of only 45 mm in diameter and 7 mm wide.

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














They open and close slowly sliding one over the other on a constant and regularly circular shape.
On the maximum open position of the bezel, the blades completely disappear, leaving an under and different dial of 30 mm appear.
 
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...


















The bezel is waterproof and doesn’t have any sign to operate the system (no pusher, no bar).
The system is thoroughly hidden and independent of the watch movement and it is manually actionable by turning the bezel with the fingers. 

That makes the piece really interactive and intriguing.
