Inaugurated in 1871 to promote the arts and science, London’s Royal Albert Hall is now one of the most renowned concert halls in the United Kingdom. Built in the inimitable Victorian style, this vast red-brick monument is comprised of several concentric circles and an impressive glass dome, which towers over the centre of this curved, resolutely rounded structure. Just like this magnificent building, the Belluna range displays perfectly harmonious forms and embodies classic, timeless elegance.

Combining tradition and modernity, the Belluna Heures & Minutes Décentrées is a unique timepiece. Its all-new design is both classic and original, while its magnificent dial offers a play on circles and curves evoking the spectacular architecture of the Royal Albert Hall. It houses two off-centred counters: the hours and minutes counter located at 10 o’clock, and the seconds counter positioned at 4 o’clock. It is this unique touch, together with the scrolling date at 7 o’clock, that gives this model its originality. The radiant silver grained dial captivates with its various finishes: the hours and minutes counter is sunray satinated, the seconds counter is snailed, and the rings surrounding them are black nickel-plated. An opening in the first quarter of the dial displays the name of the model in French – the language of watchmaking par excellence. This extraordinary dial together with the attention paid to every detail make the Belluna Heures & Minutes Décentrées an exceptional model that is emblematic of Mido’s expertise.

MIDO – MULTIFORT Chronograph Caliber 60

MIDO – MULTIFORT Chronograph Caliber 60

A remarkable design for lovers of high-speed sports

Designed for sporting performance, the new Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 unites technical innovation and precision. Its sandblasted black PVD-treated steel case houses the Caliber 60, a next-generation automatic chronograph movement that guarantees up to 60 hours of power reserve. Lovers of high-speed sports can count on the tachymeter incorporated into the bezel – a first for the Multifort collection. The black dial, meanwhile, offers perfect readability and is decorated with vertical Geneva stripes that evoke the suspension cables of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Its remarkable design and black and red colours define the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 as a model steeped in character and shaped for motor sports.

Launched in 1934, two years after the Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed, the Multifort collection shares the structure’s remarkable qualities – a perfect blend of functionality and beauty. A truth that has stood the test of time, as Mido celebrated the 80th anniversary of Multifort production in 2014, making this emblematic collection one of the longest-produced series in the history of Swiss watchmaking.

With its robust yet sporty look, remarkable design and unswerving precision, the new Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 is a spirited timepiece full of character. It is perfectly suited to all sports lovers, and motor sports enthusiasts in particular. The latter can depend on both the tachymeter incorporated into the bezel – a first in the Multifort collection – and the Caliber 60, an automatic chronograph featuring the latest in watchmaking innovation and guaranteeing up to 60 hours of power reserve. It is enough to win over even the most seasoned sports fans! The Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 is fitted with a robust 44 mm-diameter case in black PVD-treated steel. Its sandblasted finish complements the matt black bezel perfectly. The central seconds hand and the snailed counter at 3 o’clock are dedicated to the chronograph function, as indicated by the colour red. The snailed counter at 9 o’clock indicates the seconds, while the date appears in an aperture at 6 o’clock. The latter can be easily changed thanks to a quick corrector located on the side of the case at 10 o’clock.

The combination of red and black gives the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 a resolutely sporty look, which is further reinforced by the black dial decorated with vertical Geneva stripes evoking the suspension cables of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
