Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is pleased to present the [RE]Master02 Selfwinding – a tribute to an asymmetrical watch created by the Manufacture in 1960 (Model 5159BA). Following in the footsteps of [RE]Master01, launched in 2020 to reinterpret a chronograph from 1943, this new limited edition of 250 pieces features an asymmetrical 41mm rectangular case in the new 18-carat sand gold alloy, whose tone oscillates between white and pink gold. [RE]Master02 is enriched by a “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” parted dial, divided into twelve different triangles decorated with a linear satin finish that create unique effects of light and texture when assembled.

Combining vintage aesthetic with cutting-edge performance, this new reference is equipped with the Calibre 7129, an hour and minute movement. With this new model, [RE]Master establishes itself as a collection in its own right, continuing to offer contemporary interpretations of timepieces that defined their era.

A CONTEMPORARY REINTERPRETATION

Since 1875, Audemars Piguet has followed its own path, combining watchmaking tradition with cuttingedge technology and pioneering new materials and designs.

Over the years, the Manufacture has used a wide variety of materials, colours and case forms, ranging from traditional geometries such as the circle, square and rectangle, to more unexpected trapezoidal or octagonal shapes.

This boundless creativity reflects the free spirit that Audemars Piguet has preserved and nurtured for generations. Like the remastering of music recordings, the [RE]Master collection, launched in 2020, creatively reinterprets the aesthetic codes of some of the Manufacture’s rarest timepieces, representative of their respective eras. In the 1960s, Audemars Piguet produced several models inspired by the Brutalist current, with angular geometric shapes devoid of ornamentation.

" Between 1959 and 1963, Audemars Piguet created more than 30 Asymmetrical models, most of which were produced in less than 10 pieces. [RE]Master02 is a fantastic opportunity to revive this forgotten golden age."
Sébastian Vivas
Heritage and Museum Director, Audemars Piguet

 It was also the golden age of asymmetrical watches for the Manufacture, with more than 30 models created between 1959 and 1963, most of which were produced in less than ten pieces. The 5159BA Model, launched in 1960 and produced in seven units, one of which is on display today at the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, belongs to this generation of watches, with its asymmetrical 27,5 mm rectangular case in 18-carat yellow gold and a dial that breaks with the codes of classic watchmaking.

Today, the [RE]Master collection expands with a new 41mm reference in sand gold, combining contemporary watchmaking with historic design.

AN ASYMMETRICAL CASE IN SAND GOLD

[RE]Master02 features a case crafted in sand gold, a new 18-carat gold alloy whose shades vary between white and pink gold depending on the light and the movement of the wrist. Launched earlier this year on a Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked reference, this new material, which takes its name from sand dunes, is composed of gold, copper and palladium for a warm appearance. The asymmetrical case creates a strong visual impact with its many facets. While its rectangular shape is accentuated by sharp corners and extended by integrated lugs, the case also follows the slope of the sapphire crystal at 3 o’clock.

Its surface has been entirely brushed with a satin finish for a matt, “raw” look that contrasts with the polished contours of the dial. The satin finish of the sand gold required skill and dexterity to ensure that the geometric edges and corners of the case retained their sharpness.

The caseback, also crafted in sand gold, is engraved with “Limited Edition” and harmoniously echoes the dedicated asymmetrical oscillating weight in matching tones.

A PARTED DIAL

The dial of [RE]Master02 combines different geometric forms such as the rectangle and the triangle. The “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial, obtained by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), is made up of twelve triangles of different sizes and shapes, separated by galvanised sand-gold-toned partitions that meet at the centre. Each individually machined brass triangle is given a linear satin finish before being placed on a brass plate using minuscule legs. Once meticulously assembled by skilled craftspeople, all the parts create a visual effect that plays with the light and brings the dial to life.

To sit in harmony with the case and the diagonal lines of the dial, the hour and minute hands are crafted in 18-carat sand gold, as is the “Audemars Piguet” signature at 3 o’clock, obtained by galvanic growth. Both the hour-makers and the date indication have been omitted to give full expression to the geometric shapes and linear satin finish. Reading the time is facilitated by the diagonals that cross the dial.

The asymmetry of the case is accentuated by the sapphire crystal, which has a 15.8° bevel for greater visual impact. Two years of research and development went into the design of this bevelled crystal to guarantee water-resistance and meet Audemars Piguet’s quality requirements.

For aesthetic coherence, [RE]Master02 is mounted on an alligator leather strap in contrasting shades of blue that match the tone of the dial. Its elegant matt finish enhances the play of light.

AN EXTRA-THIN CALIBRE

[RE]Master02 houses the Calibre 7129, an extra-thin hour and minute movement without date indication that is based on the Calibre 7121, launched in 2022 on Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin models.

This 2.8mm thick movement produces more energy thanks to its new construction and its larger barrel, enabling the mechanism to achieve greater precision over a longer period of time.

different shapes and sizes separated by galvanised sand gold partitions

The oscillating weight, mounted on ball bearings, is equipped with two reversers to ensure bidirectional winding. In addition, inertia blocks have been inserted into the thickness of the balance wheel to prevent aerodynamic friction from slowing it down.

In keeping with the Haute Horlogerie tradition, the Calibre 7129 features refined decorations such as Côtes de Genève, circular satin, snailing, sunray brushing, circular graining and polished angles, all of which can be admired through the sapphire caseback.

The latter also reveals the dedicated 22-carat gold oscillating weight, whose sand gold tone subtly echoes the colour of the case.

A COLLECTION IN ITS OWN RIGHT

Launched in 2020 to celebrate the opening of the new Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet in Le Brassus, the first model in the collection has a vintage aesthetic. Reinterpreting a rare chronograph from 1943, this limited edition of 500 pieces retains the aesthetic codes of the original timepiece with its two-tone steel and pink gold case enriched with a gold-toned dial.

 However, this remastered edition has a modern twist with a larger, 40mm case, repositioned counters enhancing legibility and, of course, a latest-generation chronograph movement, the Calibre 4409, whose refined finish is visible through the sapphire caseback. Combining the design of the 1940s with the latest watchmaking technologies, [RE]Master01 symbolises both the tradition and the pioneering spirit that pervades every Audemars Piguet watch.

 Today, the [RE]Master collection expands with this limited edition, which allows Audemars Piguet to reinterpret some of its older timepieces, which have left their mark thanks to their aesthetic singularity,

[RE]Master02  is enriched by a “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial that combines different geometries. It is subdivided into twelve individually machined brass triangles that have been decorated with a linear satin finish before being placed on a brass plate with minuscule feet. The triangles are separated by sand gold partitions that facilitate the reading of the time.

Hanhart – 417 ES TORNADO Maiden Flight Flyback Edition

 

Hanhart 1882 – Special Edition 417 ES Pilot Tornado Maiden Flight Flyback Сhronograph 50th Anniversary Edition 2024

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

August 2024 will mark the 50th anniversary of the maiden flight of the Tornado. To mark this occasion, Hanhart, with friendly support of PANAVIA Aircraft GmbH, is launching a special edition limited to 148 pieces – Hanhart 417 ES Tornado Maiden Flight. The number of pieces is based on the day and month of the maiden flight on 14 August.

A SPECIAL DAY IN AVIATION HISTORY

August 14th 1974:
On this day, a TORNADO took to the skies for the first time as part of the flight testing of a new multirole combat aircraft in European defense cooperation.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The two-tone aircraft, painted white and red-orange with registration number P.01 D-9591, was flown by a British-German crew under the radio call sign LUNA 23 for test purposes at “Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 61”. British pilot Paul Millett was in the front cockpit, with German test pilot Nils Meister in the rear. The maiden flight ended safely and successfully after 33 minutes in Ingolstadt/Manching.

As a milestone in European defense cooperation, the TORNADO went on to equip the air forces of the partner nations Germany, Great Britain and Italy, as well as the export customer Saudi Arabia, in large numbers.

As a supplier to the young German Air Force, Hanhart delivered one of the first service watches for aircrews to the Bundeswehr in 1955. The basic model for the special edition corresponds in appearance, dimensions and function to the 417 ES service watch of the time.

 Hanhart supplied the German Armed Forces with this timepiece for almost ten years until 1963, when the brand concentrated on the production of manual stopwatches. The few surviving examples of the historic 417 have since become coveted vintage chronographs for collectors.

JOURNEY INTO THE PAST

In a sense, the watch is also a time machine, combining the distinctive details of the past with the most modern materials of our time. Particularly ingenious are the sharply drawn and highly polished chamfers that mark the transition from the sanitized horns to the flanks.

  The fluted bezel rotates continuously in both directions, a typical stylistic feature of a Hanhart. Its red position markings are reminiscent of the historical model, as are the details on the dial. The bi-compax layout and lettering appear to be a direct copy of the early 417. The numbers, fonts and branding have also been reactivated.

PRECISION AND RELIABILITY

To ensure the chronograph’s precision and reliability, the screwdown stainless steel case houses the reliable Swiss Made Sellita AMT 5100 M Flyback movement. In addition to a stop-second, it offers a power reserve of up to 58 hours when fully wound.

The historic 417 was also hand-wound, but its limited water-resistance severely restricted its range outside the cockpit. The new Hanhart 417 ES TORNADO, limited to 148 pieces, is water-resistant to 10 bar.

THE COCKADE– GER/IT/UK

The Hanhart 417 ES TORNADO bears the cockade in the colours of the three partner nations (Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) on the dial below the running second at 9 o’clock.

This cockade was worn by P.01 below the cockpit on the port side. The eye of the second hand has been reduced in size to make the cockade more visible.

OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES

The TORNADO logo is located on the lower half of the dial.

An embossed view of the plane from above with the wings at 67° and the TORNADO logo adorn the back of the watch. The location, date, duration of the flight, registration number and serial number XXX/148 are also engraved on the case back.

The hour indices, hour, minute and stop-second hands are coated with luminous material in Old Radium colour to enhance the vintage look of the watch.

OUTSTANDING COMFORT

On the wrist, a black calfskin strap with a waistband-style padding ensures comfort from day one. The Alcantara lining also promises a particularly pleasant feel against the skin. A stainless steel buckle with the historic Hanhart logo ensures a secure fit. The limited edition watch is also available with an optional high-quality stainless steel bracelet (+ 200,- EURO).

OTHERS MAY SHOW THE TIME, HANHART MEASURES IT

As a pioneer in the development of wristwatch chronographs and stopwatches, Hanhart has played an important role in the history of the German watch industry. Thanks to its passion for technical inventiveness, Hanhart continues to set itself the highest standards and is guided by the following maxims: precision and reliability, perfect readability and simple, safe operation as well as the best possible robustness.

Since 1882, the watch manufacturer has been producing timepieces that combine perfection with unmistakable design. The development, production and distribution of the mechanical watches is located in Gütenbach in the Black Forest in Germany.
