The brand has decided to take the iconic Bugatti 370 timepiece, and its transverse tubular movement, as its basis. This model, which marked the creation of the partnership in 2004, demonstrates the brand's cutting-edge creative spirit and the quest for technical excellence which made it possible.

The Bugatti Anniversary Limited Edition opens with the Bugatti Mythe. The aesthetic of this timepiece is based on an emblematic Bugatti component: the remarkable Type 57 grille.

This grille, which graced the very first Bugatti cars, has a striking structure, formed of lines rather than mesh. These lines are echoed in the watch dial and they extend downward beyond its perimeter, affirming the Art Deco style which made the historic grille such a success.

In addition to this homage to Bugatti's history, the Bugatti Mythe timepiece also pays tribute to the ongoing collaboration between industrial and artisan traditions in both the automotive and watchmaking worlds. Inextricably linked at Bugatti, industry and craftsmanship see their potential combined in every creation, and this is what the brand's reputation is based on.

The Bugatti Mythe evokes this marriage through the dual-colour effect of the surfaces of its case middle. A mottled anthracite grey surface, which reinforces its "industrial" appearance, represents this side of the spectrum; the burnished, gold surfaces reflect the refined, artisan side.

The Bugatti Mythe is possessed of a powerful symbolism, which encapsulates the history of two brands and the success of a collaboration that is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Tutima – M2 Pioneer Titanium Chronograph

Tutima – M2 Pioneer Titanium Chronograph NEW

The professional timepiece for the toughest assignments in any environment – German Engineering from Tutima Glashütte

Uncompromising functionality and absolute reliability are the base values of a professional timekeeping instrument. The NATO chronograph by Tutima, the official watch of the German army, has proved itself outstandingly during missions across the globe for decades. Now comes the M2, destined to continue this success story. The solid titanium case with an extra-strong sapphire crystal and screw-down case back protects the mechanical movement from shock, dust and moisture – and now even from strong magnetic influence.

New Inner Values

The M2 is one of the new generation chronographs from Tutima Glashütte and its features include.
The effects of magnetic fields on the rate precision of a mechanical movement can be devastating, to put it mildly. In order to rule out its influence right from the start, the chronograph movement of the new M2 is surrounded by a combination of soft iron and mu-metal, a magnetically soft nickel-iron alloy. In terms of movement technology, the M2 also completes a generational shift.

Contrary to the previous generation, which was outfitted with Lémania Caliber 5100, a Tutima Caliber 321 ticks within the M2. The reconstruction of the dial train creating an easily legible sweep minute counter – as has been the case with the previous generation for decades – is a proprietary Tutima development. Additionally, the arrangement leaves room for the 24-hour display as with the Lémania 5100, offering the wearer valuable orientation aid during missions lasting days, under water or even in space.

Reliable Functionality

Legibility and user-friendliness are two elements that topped the M2 developers’ functional specification document. The hour and minute hands as well as the hour markers are inlaid with strong luminescent material, and the red tips of the chronograph hands also gleam for a long time after the light source has vanished in the dark. The non-slip rotating bezel of the Pioneer model variation is outfitted with compactly fitted glass luminescent capsules and a large reference marker at the 12 o’clock position, which allows it to be read off even in full darkness.

There is hardly a thing to improve on the functionality of the screw-in crown and the large buttons integrated into the case, which the M2 has inherited from its predecessor – however the chronograph buttons have indeed been improved with the addition of a non-slip, ribbed rubber surface.

The case back made of light titanium, like the case, is decorated with the silhouette of an aerobatic double-decker plane and ensures that it is reliably water-resistant to withstand a pressure of 30 bar (300 meters). Both M2 model variations are available with a choice of titanium link bracelet or a leather strap secured to the case in a form-fitting manner.
