With its lean proportions and sharp styling, Panerai Luminor Due reinterprets the unmistakable shape and features of the iconic Luminor collection in a refined form that is equally suited to casual wear and elegant environments that call for elevated dressing.

Originally a time-only model, a complication has been introduced to the collection for the very first time.

The moon phase, among the most poetic complications, is the centrepiece of Luminor Due Luna—the final word in its name being the Italian word for moon, which appears on the dial.

Available in four iterations, all in a 38mm that appeals to a broad spectrum of wearers, it promises to become a key pillar of the Luminor Due family.

In each variation, the complication, situated at 3 o’clock, exhibits a rotating disc with a 24 carats moon against a starry midnight blue sky.

The various references have distinct aesthetic sensibilities that appeal to a broad audience. Luminor Due Luna Madreperla features a mother-of-pearl dial and case made from Panerai Goldtech™, an alloy containing platinum and a high percentage of copper; the combination endows the metal with a deep, red tone.

Applied numerals and indexes with white Super-LumiNova™ appear on the dial, while a polished alligator strap is a lustrous finishing touch. The open caseback reveals the workings of automatic 3 days power reserve calibre P900/MP within.

Two Luminor Due Luna references—both with steel cases—feature white sun-brushed dials with the signature Panerai sandwich structure and beige Super-Luminova™ within their numerals, indexes, and hands.

While one boasts a polished pink alligator strap (PAM01180), the other includes a Luminor Due steel bracelet whose links echo the profile of the trademarked Panerai crown-protection device, a quality accentuated by alternating polished and brushed finishes.

Polishing along the edges of the curved links endows the bracelet with added dimension and refinement.

A final option, with a steel case, sun-brushed blue sandwich dial (PAM01179), and matching polished blue alligator strap, has a handsome monochrome presence.

Luminor Due features Calibre P900/MP, measuring only 5.9mm thick, is an automatic movement with a three-day power reserve.

Water-resistant to 3 bar (about 30 meters), Luminor Due Luna references (PAM01179, PAM01180, PAM01181) feature the quick release system to permit changing straps without using tools.

Pressure applied to the back of the strap releases it from the case, and it can be replaced with equal ease.

Building a collection of straps allows Luminor Due Luna to transform its appearance endlessly.

And the introduction of Luminor Due satin straps, leather straps with a satin-like texture and sheen, further multiplies the options available to owners of Luminor Due Luna or any other watch from the Luminor Due family.

Girard-Perregaux X BUCHERER BLUE
HISTORICAL CRAFTSMANSHIP AND MODERN DESIGN

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Bucherer and Girard-Perregaux have come together to take their collaboration to the next level. Adding a layer of modern design and craftsmanship to tradition, the fruit from the partnership between the two is manifested in the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE.

Welcoming the Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE, a timepiece celebrating Girard-Perregaux’s virtuosity through a blue lens. The Tourbillon with Three Bridges is considered the world’s oldest watch movement still in production, epitomizing the ability of Girard-Perregaux to reinvent yesterday’s tradition for today’s connoisseur:

With time, the bridges of this iconic design have evolved from an arrow-ended shape to a more contemporary “Neo” shape, used in the Flying Bridges. The architecture of the movement has also evolved to give the impression of a levitating movement inside the case.

The Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE truly is a masterwork of Haute Horlogerie. The titanium case is fitted between two sapphire crystal glass boxes reinforcing the visual effect of aerial delicacy.

A HISTORICAL WATCH MOVEMENT

Girard-Perregaux revives history with its modern translation of tradition. The Tourbillon with Three Bridges is considered the world’s oldest watch movement still in production, the epitome of Girard-Perregaux virtuosity.

The structure of the watch movement that appears to be suspended within the case has remained unchanged since the 1860s - earning it the name “Flying Bridges”.

BENEFITS THAT LIE BENEATH THE BARREL

The iconic Bridges collection embodies craftsmanship and design, realised as a complex interplay that makes the invisible visible. By paring back the movement, the main plate seems to disappear within the case.

The automatic movement itself features a micro-rotor beneath the barrel, granting the benefits of an improved power reserve of a minimum 60 hours, optimal winding, as well as an unobstructed view of the movement.

FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN BRIDGE DESIGN

Girard-Perregaux’s Three Flying Bridges present a modern take on tradition. The design of the Bridges, which started out as an arrow-ended shape, has evolved into a contemporary Neo-shape, inspired by the architectural marvels of the world’s metropoles.

For the collaboration with Bucherer, Girard-Perregaux specifically realised the barrel and Bridges of the exclusive 18 timepieces in blue tones.
