The dials display a simple but precise musical score under the baton of the orchestra’s conductor, which sweeps back and forth incessantly over the indexes or Roman numerals.

Jaquet Droz – URBAN LONDON Grande Seconde SW Côtes de Genève

Jaquet Droz – URBAN LONDON Grande Seconde SW Côtes de Genève NEW


BASELWORLD 2014 PREVIEW

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde is immediately identifiable by its two off-centered dials that describe a figure eight with great purity of line. A uniquely incomparable timepiece since its inception, it is regularly reinterpreted by the brand’s artisans.

 Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...   BIG FOTO

In 2008, Jaquet Droz launched the Grande Seconde SW, a sporty reworking of this iconic model that has only become more successful over the years. A new version will enhance the line in 2014, complete with alligator leather straps and new Côtes de Genève decoration to give the Grande Seconde SW an ever greater aura of luxury.

 Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...   BIG FOTO

The famous Côtes de Genève ornamental pattern typical of Swiss watchmaking has been used on the dials of a new model in anthracite gray. A series of regular lines, the pattern highlights the watch's features and gives it unprecedented depth.  The traditional rubber and metal strap of the Grande Seconde SW has also been replaced by the fine luster of an alligator leather strap in a color to match the dial.

Jaquet Droz is delighted to unveil the several other variations of this watchmaking icon at Baselworld 2014.

Ulysse Nardin – Perpetual Manufacture

Ulysse Nardin – Perpetual Calendars Manufacture Limited Edition NEW

Perpetual Manufacture. 

The ultimate icon in watchmaking, this new timepiece offers a taste of eternity with its manufacture movement UN-32 that allows the date to be adjusted both forward and backward.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         BIG FOTO

Time is a traveler on the road to eternity. To tame it, people have long learned to impose a rhythm on it, to shape it into a cycle. Thus watches were invented to keep time – but now at last comes one that casts light on eternity itself !

Perpetual manufacture movement Caliber UN-32

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         BIG FOTO

Crafted in celebration of infinity, the new Perpetual Manufacture is powered by the incredible Caliber UN-32, a movement that features the most advanced perpetual calendar in the history of watchmaking. Allowing the date to be adjusted both forward and backward, this mechanical gem naturally accommodates the ebb and flow of time – in perpetuity. As a constant reminder, the dial is stamped with the symbol “∞”, to watch over this emblematic limited-edition piece.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         BIG FOTO

The perpetual calendar is a highly sophisticated mechanism that takes into account not only the months with 30 and 31 days, but also the 28 days of February and the return of 29 February every four years. This means it possesses a mechanical memory of 1,461 days. The first time the Perpetual Manufacture will require manual adjustment will be in 2100, which would normally be a leap year but is an exception in the Gregorian calendar.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         BIG FOTO

As well as the day, date, month and year indications, which can be adjusted easily by turning the crown in either direction, the Caliber UN-32 in this exceptional watch also offers a second time zone. The hour hand can be advanced or moved back by one or more positions simply by using the dedicated “+” and “-” push-pieces at 4 and 8 o’clock. The height of mechanical sophistication, the calendar functions synchronize automatically when the hour hand is changed. And the GMT
hand, picked out with a bold red arrow, can be used to indicate either the original time or a second time zone.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         BIG FOTO

Such a horological gem deserves to be dressed in the finest robes. A worthy heir to the legendary GMT+/- Perpetual, the Perpetual Manufacture showcases a white ocean of infinite depth in the guise of a dial. While ensuring perfect readability, the openwork hour and minute hands add a delicate, light touch that characterizes truly timeless watches, while the GMT hand hovers over the flange marked with 24 hours. And to lend greater exclusivity to an already exceptional timepiece, the 43 mm case with its timeless design reveals a plate inscribed with the serial number on its side at 9 o’clock, making each piece totally unique. Just 250 watches in red gold and 250 in platinum will be made.

EDOX – CLASS-1 ICEMAN III Limited Edition

EDOX – CLASS-1 ICEMAN III Limited Edition NEW

EDOX Iceman Steels For Record Ice Dive

Jumping into a freezing, ice-covered lake and then plunging 75 metres under the ice into the pitch black - all the while holding your breath, only a 5mm neoprene wetsuit to help block out the mind-numbing cold.

However free diving champion Christian Redl is neither mad, nor reckless - and his attempt next month to break his own world record for free diving under the ice, dubbed Mission X-Deep, will be the culmination of many, many months of meticulous preparation.

When 38-year-old Redl, nicknamed The Iceman, enters the frigid waters of Austria's Lake Weissensee on February 15 he faces a test of human endurance that requires ice-cool concentration, superb physical conditioning and - thanks to boutique Swiss watchmaker Edox - an ultra-reliable dive watch.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

Edox is official timing partner for Austrian-born Redl, who will be wearing a Edox Iceman III timepiece on the dive.
The Iceman III is the ideal companion for Redl's extreme dive exploits and a successor to the Edox Iceman I he wore in 2011 when he set his world under-ice free diving record (61 metres), also at Lake Weissensee.
The Iceman III is perfectly suited to Redl's Mission X-Deep; water-resistant to 1000m, the case is forged from super-tough 316L stainless steel with black PVD coating and the 45mm watch features a striking black carbon fibre dial with ceramic unidirectional diver's bezel.
A Swiss quartz chronograph movement ensures super-accurate timekeeping, essential for Redl's dangerous task.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

Redl will use a powered water "scooter" to plunge down a guide rope into the lake's icy void and return to the surface via the same method. With the super cold and pressure squashing his lungs to the size of a fist, the Austrian will require the utmost concentration - and precision readings from the Iceman III - to keep focused mentally on the task at hand.
 

But ever since 1996 when Redl, then aged 20, saw the cult film The Big Blue and took up the extreme sport of free diving this is the type of challenge he has relished - and conquered. Redl is now considered one of the foremost free-diving specialists of his generation.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

For the Les Genevez-based Edox, which celebrates its 130th anniversary this year, Christian Redl's exploits in pushing the boundaries of human endurance are an ideal fit.

Edox, too, relishes pushing the limits of watchmaking to produce ultra-accurate, reliable and technically advanced timepieces. Edox is also the official timekeeper for the Extreme Sailing Series and the world's toughest motorsport event, the Dakar Rally. Last year Edox signed an agreement to become the official timekeeper of the World Curling Federation.

CUERVO Y SOBRINOS – Historiador Flameante Reserva de Marcha

CUERVO Y SOBRINOS – Historiador Flameante Reserva de Marcha NEW

The new ultra-thin Cuervo y Sobrinos in a “power reserve” version

History is a fundamental value for Cuervo y Sobrinos. The Swiss brand with a Latin soul finds its own archives to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration that imbues its collections with a “classic”, timeless style and gives character to shapes and models from the past.
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

Once again, among this year’s new releases at Baselworld there will be an Historiador – icon of the brand, created in the Fifties. This time the somewhat “vintage” design, extremely elegant and typical of the Historiador, is combined with manually wound movements with power reserve at 12 and small seconds at 6; an ultra-slim watch that symbolizes the spirit of the epoch also thanks to a dial decorated with the “guilloché flambé” design typical of the 1950s (from "flambé" comes the name of the model, "Flameante").

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

Intriguing, endowed with finesse and refinement, the new Historiador Flameante Reserva de Marcha makes use of a technical-aesthetic detail making it unique: the power reserve indicator at 12 is a rotating disk instead of the conventional sphere. This idea confirms an important component of the brand’s philosophy, headquartered in Capolago, Switzerland: continual technological innovation at the service of aesthetic harmony and balance.

Many other details make the “Reserva de Marcha” a most appealing wristwatch.

Beneath the transparent caseback in sapphire crystal one can admire extremely high level finishes that underscore the brand’s striving for perfection: the platen decorated with “Côtes de Genève”, the balance bridge in a beautiful anthracite color transmitting technicality and dynamism to the movement and, finally, the classic azure screws. The words “Testimony of style since 1882”, engraved on the movement perfectly summarize the spirit and class that for more than 130 years have always distinguished CyS history.

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        BIG FOTO

 Completing the look is a strap in premium Louisiana alligator.

The result needs no further comment: a timepiece that’s classic, almost nostalgic in flavor, that will not fail to win over whoever loves good taste and understatement.
