RED PASSION

 More than a watch, the Linear Series 3 from Hautlence is a statement, an attitude, a declaration of style. Dressed entirely in red, it embodies a state of mind, a vision of the world where daring is elegance, and every moment is lived with the utmost intensity.

The color of visionaries, passion red symbolizes innovation and, on the Linear Series 3, becomes a sublime way of displaying the time via the linear retrograde jumping hour. Opting for this timepiece is choosing to stand out. Red is not for everyone, only for those who dare!

Red has always represented life and strength, a power in itself. It is no coincidence that is has become the hallmark of iconic car manufacturers or that it is a recurring motif in the fields of art, architecture and design.

Like the Renaissance artists who used red to imbue their works with depth and emotion, Hautlence has chosen this color as the natural option to emphasize the lines of its Linear Series 3 model.

On the left of the Linear Series 3's dial, a graduated scale resembling those used on precision measuring instruments indicates the hours using a linkage. This large, very slim linkage recalls the one used in the first movement developed by Hautlence in 2004: the calibre HL. The small pointer on its end indicates the hour on the vertical scale.

Once the 12 numeral is passed, the snail disengages the probe to release the accumulated energy. The linkage then jumps and returns to the 1 numeral. In addition to the linear retrograde jumping hour, the Linear Series 3 is equipped with a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, whose balletic movement can be admired behind its black skeletonised bridge.

The steel case of the Linear Series 3 guarantees water resistance to 10 ATM and exceptional durability. On the sides, reliefs bring volume and dynamism to the case, the unique shape of which is part of the Hautlence signature. The notched crown features a red rubber band that echoes the strap.

As always at Hautlence, the dial is constructed on several levels. An additional tinted sapphire dial featuring the minute numerals sits on top of the base dial with a vertical satin finish. The main dial is partially open to allow parts of the movement to be seen.

One component visible through the opening is the minute cam. This is integral with the minute hand, which rotates once per hour and lifts the minute sector as the hour elapses. After 60 minutes, the minute sector falls back, driving the hour star including the hour cam.

The calibre D50 self-winding movement is the motor that drives the Linear Series 3. It has been entirely developed, designed, and produced in-house.

Equipped with a module created in collaboration with Agenhor, it comprises 239 components, oscillates at a frequency of 3 Hertz and offers a power reserve of 72 hours. The finely chased oscillating weight recalls the brand's famous Möbius movement.

A veritable work of art, the Linear Series 3 is the perfect companion for those who experience each second with passion.

Jaeger-LeCoultre – REVERSO® Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ Edition

Jaeger-LeCoultreREVERSO® Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ Calibre 826 Pink Gold Edition 2025

A NEW INTERPRETATION WITH A DIGITAL DISPLAY OF TIME SURROUNDED BY A DEEP BLUE STARRY SKY

 KEY FACTS:

Challenging movement: Calibre 826 with 243 components and a 42-hour power reserve
Masterful craftsmanship: 70 pink gold stars shine against a night-blue enamel sky, perfected in 10 hours of work
Limited edition: offering 90 pieces

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Following the introduction in 2021 of the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ to celebrate the Reverso’s 90th anniversary, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new expression of the timepiece in 18k pink gold (750/1000) with an elegant grey sunray dial and decorative enamelling on the reverse. To be made in a limited edition of 90 pieces, this new interpretation again demonstrates La Grande Maison’s constant pursuit of technical innovation married to timeless design and fine craftsmanship.

FROM POLO FIELD TO HIGH WATCHMAKING – AN ICON EVOLVES

Created in 1931, the Reverso was designed to meet the demands of the newly fashionable ‘sporting gentleman’. A challenge was set by polo-playing military officers in India during the British Raj of 1858-1947 to create a watch that could withstand the rigours of the polo field. The Reverso was the answer – a masterful integration of form and function. Quickly adopted by tastemakers from all walks of life, the Reverso soon transcended its original sporting purpose as new variations appeared – for both men and women. However, its iconic double-sided case (historical patent CH159982) and distinctive Art Deco lines have remained constant, making the Reverso one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches.

The Reverso was born as a deft synthesis of style and function. Rooted in the Art Deco aesthetics, it also embodied a mechanical revolution allowed by La Grande Maison’s expertise. From the very beginning of its production, Reverso’s calibres were shaped to follow the curves of its rectangular case, an ingenious answer to maximise space used and therefore the precision of the calibre. In 1931, it was seen as a revolution in Haute Horlogerie: an unusual rectangular case, powered by shaped calibres, set in a dedicated casing ring to protect them from shocks, humidity and the passing of time.

This technical challenge, overtook by the Manufacture, was fully embraced in the beginning of the 1990s, when Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced high complications in Reverso. In 1991, marking the 60th anniversary, the Reverso Soixantieme displayed a power reserve and date, with another first – a sapphire crystal caseback, to observe the mechanical treasure within. During the decade that followed, five of the great classical complications were reinterpreted, with the movement architecture and visual displays reimagined for the rectangular Reverso case. Then, to mark the completion of another decade, the Reverso Septantieme was introduced in 2001.

In 2021, the 90th anniversary of the Reverso’s birth, Jaeger-LeCoultre created the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme. It brought a fresh and exciting stylistic language to the Reverso, presenting an entirely new visual expression of some of watchmaking’s most familiar complications.

A NEW COLOUR FOR THE FRONT DIAL; ENAMEL AND LACQUER ENHANCE THE REVERSE SIDE

Driven by its continuing exploration of beauty and refined craftsmanship, the new interpretation of the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ features an elegant grey sunray-brushed dial and a richly decorated reverse side. The simplicity of the Reverso Tribute iconography – elongated applied indexes, Dauphine hands and a chemin de fer minutes track – places the emphasis on the complications. The ‘Grande Date’ display at 12 o’clock is highlighted by an applied pink golden-coloured frame that echoes the rectangular shape of the case and dial. In the lower half of the dial within the small seconds counter, a moon phase display is set against the background of stars in a deep blue sky. While the colours of these details echo those on the reverse dial, the classically elegant aesthetic gives no hint of the surprise that awaits when flipping the case over.

Turning the case reveals the Nonantieme’s distinctive and visually exciting displays wrapped in the beauty of a starry night sky. The dial comprises two round apertures of different sizes, overlapping and arranged like a figure-eight, which is encircled by gadroons that echo those on the upper and lower edges of the case. The small upper aperture displays a semi-jumping digital hour indication against a white background. Below the hour, the large aperture displays minutes on a rotating disc that is partially concealed by a three-quarter plate, lacquered in a rich shade of blue. Tiny pink gold stars are transferred onto the surface of the lacquer to depict the night sky. Within a smaller circle at the centre, a polished sun and moon indicate night and day as they pass above a horizon. The semi-circle below the horizon is decorated with a guilloché pattern of sunrays and the entire lower aperture is framed by a circle of pink gold beading (18k, 750/1000).

The larger surface surrounding the indications – which had been an unbroken expanse of pink gold in the original Nonantieme – is transformed into a starry night sky with multiple layers of rich blue enamel sprinkled with stars. The latitude and longitude lines are engraved with a hand-held laser to reveal the underlying pink gold case metal.

CLASSIC COMPLICATIONS REINVENTED THROUGH MECHANICAL INNOVATION

Showing the same time on both faces of the watch and comprising 243 components, Calibre 826 was conceived specifically for the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ and was developed, produced and assembled entirely in-house.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Given La Grande Maison’s philosophy of designing movements that closely fit the shape of their case, the rectangular Reverso creates a particular challenge when designing complications that were traditionally conceived for round movements. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

To accommodate the Grande Date display within the confined space of the upper dial, in 2021, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers developed a completely new mechanism comprising two small side-by-side discs (one for the units 1–9 and one for the 10s, 20s and 30s) rather than two “stacked” discs, as is normal. When the date passes single digits, a tiny hook on the units disc latches on to the other disc, turning it to create the double-digit reading (10th, 11th, 12th…etc). This patented invention has the additional benefit of displaying both digits of the date at exactly the same level, rather than one slightly lower than the other.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Although La Grande Maison’s watchmakers had incorporated the digital hours complication in some calibres during the 1930s, they have used it rarely in recent decades. For the display, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers opted for a semi-jumping rather than instantaneously jumping mechanism to allow for a more gradual and elegant transition. Also, because an instantaneous jump requires a large and sudden burst of energy, this choice safeguards the power reserve.

Offered in a limited edition of 90 pieces, this new interpretation of the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ underlines the timelessness and versatility of the Reverso, as well as La Grande Maison’s continuing commitment to craft and creativity alongside mechanical innovation and excellence.

H. MOSER & CIE. – ENDEAVOUR Centre Seconds Concept Purple

 

H. MOSER & CIE.ENDEAVOUR Centre Seconds Concept Purple Grand Fumé Enamel Dial - 2025

 THE MAGIC OF FUMÉ, THE BRILLIANCE OF ENAMEL: THIS ALCHEMY BEARS
H. MOSER & CIE.’S SIGNATURE

  Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Faithful to its heritage of craftsmanship, H. Moser & Cie. has reinterpreted its iconic fumé dials by highlighting the ancestral art of enamelling. Revisited with a resolutely contemporary approach, this expertise gives rise to an original, bright and vibrant shade, the hammered texture of which creates a captivating play of light. 

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Housed in a 40-mm steel case and powered by an HMC 201 automatic movement, the Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel combines the timeless elegance of a three-hand watch with a bold aesthetic and powerful charisma.

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

An absolute classic in watchmaking, the three-hand watch demands impeccable technical mastery, where every detail counts. To stand out, the aesthetics must attain perfection, achieving a perfect balance: immaculate proportions, harmonious forms, high-end finishes. 

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO

With the Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel model, H. Moser & Cie. has turned this timeless elegance on its head by adding a daring touch: a dial that radiates an unprecedented depth of colour, produced using a reinvented enamelling technique. True to its unique approach, the Manufacture has revisited the ancestral art of “Grand Feu” enamelling to bring it in line with contemporary tastes, thereby preserving this precious technique while reinterpreting it in its own way. 

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The process begins with a white gold base on which a textured motif is engraved, creating a hammered effect. Then six enamel pigments, all in different colours, are carefully washed and finely crushed before being meticulously applied in a gradation to create the dial’s bright hue. The master enameller spends hours adjusting each shade with extreme precision, ensuring the colours blend harmoniously together during successive firings, with no pixelation. 

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A dial must be fired multiple times to create H. Moser & Cie.’s unique signature fumé effect. The result is striking: an intense depth, a texture enhanced by the transparency of the “Grand Feu” enamel, and a fascinating colour, called Purple Haze, which is particularly difficult to achieve. This is a true work of watchmaking art that the Manufacture has chosen to let express itself freely and in complete purity, with no logo or index.

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Beating at the heart of the 40-mm steel case is a 100% Swiss mechanical Manufacture movement: the HMC 201 calibre. This automatic movement is equipped with a regulating organ manufactured by H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company, Precision Engineering AG, and comprises a double hairspring, instantly identifiable thanks to the purple seconds hand and the blue balance bridge. Thanks to its architecture that supports openness, the watch components are revealed through partially skeletonised bridges, accentuated by an ultra-modern anthracite grey finish. 

Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This opening elegantly allows the wheels of the gear train, central seconds and bidirectional automatic winding system to be viewed, while the rotor has also been openworked so as not to obstruct the view of the movement, which still guarantees a power reserve of at least 3 days. The timepiece is set off to stunning effect by a purple kudu leather strap, whose velvety texture and deep hue extend the intensity of the dial, adding the final touch to this powerfully bold creation.

BREMONT – TERRA NOVA Jumping Hour Cupro-Aluminium Bronze Edition


BREMONTTERRA NOVA Jumping Hour 38mm Cupro-Aluminium Bronze Edition 2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Bremont’s Terra Nova field watch collection, references and is inspired by military pocket watches of the early 20th century. Styled and meticulously crafted, Terra Nova includes all the hallmarks of these original timepieces, capturing their rugged elegance, practicality, simplicity, and essential functionality, reinterpreted for the 21st century.

In line with the brands commitment to ultimate durability and exceptional quality, Bremont explores a new bronze alloy for its Terra Nova collection. The series of contemporary field watches, with their unique, geometric cushion-shaped case, low profile, and shortened lugs, was introduced in 2024 in resilient 904L steel. For 2025, the British brand introduces three new references in a bronze, high-strength cupro-aluminium alloy.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Traditionally associated with the nautical realm, bronze equally excels on dry land, the domain of the Terra Nova. Cupro-aluminium is a highly qualitative bronze alloy and, following the introduction of superior 904L steel to Terra Nova in 2024, further demonstrates Bremont’s dedication to using the best possible materials to create rugged, tough, and highly durable precision timepieces.

Bronze, but not as you know

Bremont is first and foremost a manufacturer of robust and rugged tool watches, therefore, implementing a particular material always and only happens if it makes functional sense. Cupro-aluminium was selected due to the alloy’s strength, durability, and versatility. It can be easily cast and shaped into intricate designs, crucial for creating the high-quality Terra Nova two-piece watch case with its sophisticated and detailed design. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The alloy also has a higher tensile strength than other types of bronze due to the strengthening effects of aluminium and silicon. This makes the material more durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of being worn on the wrist.

The finer detail you’ll want to know...

Cupro-Aluminium boasts several additional advantages. First, its aluminium and silicon composition ensures it is hypoallergenic, and is more resistant to scratches than traditional bronze, helping to maintain its appearance over time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

While slightly lighter than conventional steel and bronze, every gram counts when it comes to wristwatches. Aesthetically, Cupro-Aluminium offers a unique visual appeal with a soft golden tone and a warm reddish hue. Unlike traditional bronze, it develops a gradual and even patina, avoiding the uneven green or black discoloration, resulting in a subtle, controlled transformation over time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The unique properties of the bronze alloy will transform each of the three new Terra Nova Bronze iterations into highly personal timepieces. Each individual watch will age and patina differently. The high-tech bronze alloy seems alive and will age within three months, doing so very softly and subtly, resulting in an appearance with a subtly distressed look and feel.

Three new bronze references

 Inspired by early 20th-century trench watches, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour Bronze brings together vintage military styling and contemporary watchmaking innovation. Its compact 38mm cushion-shaped case is crafted from vertically brushed cupro-aluminium bronze, a high-performance alloy known for its strength and ability to develop a rich, even patina over time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

At its core is the exclusive BC634 Jumping Hour calibre. This rare complication displays the hours, minutes and seconds through crisp, linear apertures in the montre à guichet style. A compass-inspired sweeping seconds hand overlays the central Wayfinder logo, reinforcing the watch’s connection to navigation and exploration.

Limited to just 100 pieces, this special edition is offered with either a brushed bronze bracelet or a vintage-style tan leather strap. Compact, precise, and rich with character, it’s a collector’s piece built for life in the field.
