GRAHAM – Chronofighter Superlight CARBON 47mm

TRUE COLOURS

New Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon watches go where others feared to tread

Some believe the rainbow leads to a pot of gold. Graham suggests carbon may be a more exciting destination. Its new Chronofighter Superlight Carbon watches integrate the inspiration of dynamic coloured Formula One tyres. The brand with petrol in its veins and style on the brain presents timepieces that fuse superlight carbon technology with supercharged looks.

• New technology: Superlight black carbon composite case
• Black carbon trigger, bezel, dial and buckle (3K carbon frame)
• Automatic chronograph
• Tachymeter
• Date at 8 o’clock
• Fast-action start / stop carbon trigger
• Integrated rubber strap with “Clousde Paris” decoration

Turning revs means turning heads

The strong Graham affinity with motor racing is more than skin-deep. Sponsorship of the Brawn GP Formula One team from 2009 to 2011 preceded partnerships with the Swiss Porsche Cup, the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, the Baja 1000, the GT Asia Series, the Spengler Cup, Silverstone circuit, the Swiss Gurnigel Hill Race and the Club Porsche Romand. The combination of carbon, a pillar of contemporary racing car prowess, and the head-turning tyre colours, accurately reflect these watches’ intrinsic union of appearance and performance.

Unlike with the tyres, the straps’ functionality is weather-independent so their robust rubber composition is constant. It goes without saying that none of these pieces is for “softies”. Orange conveys anticipation, green action, and purple asserts itself confidently as the new red. With their integrated “Clous de Paris” pattern, these stylish, bold attachments are as out there as a pace car.

In racing, weight definitely does matter. In the Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon it does too. Weighing in at less than 100 grams each, these sporty timepieces are never slow off the grid.

The case, trigger, bezel, dial and buckle are made of the innovative superlight carbon that’s become the 21st century hallmark of Formula One car construction. The resultant watches’ lightness could cause them to become forgotten; their distinctive design with the iconic trigger ensures that’s not going to happen.

Schwarz Etienne – Roswell 08

Schwarz Etienne – Roswell 08 Brown Dial Steel 45 mm

Baselworld 2018

SCHWARZ ETIENNE, THE DYNAMIC SWISS BRAND FROM LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS, IS PLEASED TO UNVEIL ITS LATEST ITERATION OF THE ROSWELL WATCH, THE ROSWELL 08, A TIMEPIECE FEATURING A HIGHLY INNOVATIVE DATE MECHANISM.

THIS WATCH HARNESSES MUCH MECHANICAL KNOW-HOW, IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE AND CUTTING-EDGE, CONTEMPORARY STYLING.

In 2015, Schwarz Etienne released its inaugural Roswell timepiece, a watch defined by rounded contours coupled with sharply defined edges. The silhouette of this watch was inspired by the shape of a flying saucer and is a graceful reference to its inspiration, the Roswell mystery.

While the source of the Roswell’s nomenclature is a mysterious alien phenomenon, there is no mystery to the various mechanisms at work on this fascinating timepiece. Its date mechanism is presented in a new light and profoundly revisited. Its architecture plays on volumes, contrasting materials and colours. Each of its components comes in perfectly finished steel, standing out from the dark and uniform finish of the movement, including the micro-rotor. Column wheels, jumper, springs, and levers are freely disclosed.

A crescent-shaped aperture at 2 o’clock reveals the prevailing date while at 11 o’clock a subtle second’s display resides. A fundamental aspect of the dial’s design is the exposure of the balance. The gleaming balance cock sits adjacent the unique balance wheel, incorporating the Schwarz Etienne logo. The hours and minutes are imparted using elegant Alpha-type hands.

Schwarz Etienne exhibit a profound technical competence, courtesy of 115 years of watchmaking excellence. This innovative Manufacture has expertly designed a date mechanism which features enhanced functionality and increased reliability.

The self-winding micro-rotor movement ISE 100.11, an evolution of the ISE 100.00, features a balance and hairspring fully developed and manufactured in collaboration with E20 Innovations, a sister company of Schwarz Etienne. The ISE 100.11 is an inverted movement with the regulator and micro-rotor positioned on the dial side of the calibre. The movement possesses a power reserve of 86 hours and is exquisitely finished with impeccable attention to detail.

This exceptional timepiece is housed within an unashamedly masculine stainless-steel case, measuring 45mm in diameter. The knurled crown is shrouded by a special guard, whose lower part of which acts as a push-button for the rapid correction of the date. The Roswell Date is offered on a tobacco calfskin strap featuring a bright orange or pistachio green calfskin lining.

Once again, Schwarz Etienne has displayed its capacity to surprise with its eye-catching design and mechanical virtuosity. The Roswell 08 is unique and is a perfect illustration of the ingenuity of this dynamic and progressive maison. The Roswell mystery lives on.
