Racing driver Ollie Millroy joins the JEANRICHARD family at full throttle

“It is an honor to be selected as a Friend of the Brand JEANRICHARD and to be able to carry the mutual values into the world of international motorsport. As it's a sport that essentially revolves around racing against the clock, it's a perfect arena to promote a modern, stylish watch brand such as JEANRICHARD and I really look forward to wearing my new Aeroscope three hands at my next races in Asia and beyond", said Ollie Millroy.

Ollie Millroy’s experience in racing started in his early years on the kart circuit, where he had his first involvement with the exciting world of “speed”. When he later in life progressed into international karting, he followed a remarkable path and won several championships, such as the British ICA 2006 and the Italian Winter Cup, also in 2006. He was then selected as a scholarship driver for BMW Motorsport and in 2012, his professional career led him into GT racing, where he was signed up by legendary sportscar team and Le Mans 24hr winners, Ecurie Ecosse.

The partnership between Ollie Millroy and JEANRICHARD is based upon the mutual principles as well as the common Philosophy of Life to experience a new journey every day.

“It is fantastic to have such a young spirit, being part of the JEANRICHARD team.

Ollie Millroy will be sporting a JEANRICHARD Aeroscope three hands with a titanium case. Just like a flight instrument, the Aeroscope 3 Hands watch features optimum reading of its displays even in semi-darkness. The stick indexes and Arabic numerals made out of Billight, a mixture of resin and Superluminova that gives a lucid effect to the entire index, and not just to its upper surface. The bezel has a minute-circle marked out with 5-minute gradations, enabling the wearer to read the time at a glance.

The JEANRICHARD Aeroscope three hands is available with different dial treatments in black, white, grey, green and dark blue with a grainy finish. As a final detail, it features a rubber strap fitted with a folding buckle.

A tribute to a Multifort from 1940, this timepiece is endowed with technical features that will appeal to all those who appreciate examples of fine watchmaking. Its case in rose PVD-treated steel protects an automatic chronograph movement with chronometer certification.

Launched in 1934, two years after the completion of Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Multifort collection shares with this famous structure the distinction of offering a perfect balance between function and aesthetics. A truth that has stood the test of time, as this year Mido celebrates the 80th year of Multifort production, making this one of the longest-produced collections in the history of Swiss watchmaking.

The Multifort Limited Edition Heritage is a rare timepiece. A model of classic, timeless elegance, endowed with technical features that are certain to appeal to fine watchmaking enthusiasts. Its rose PVD-treated steel case houses an automatic chronograph movement with chronometer certification. Much more than a men’s accessory of unquestionable refinement, the Multifort Limited Edition Heritage is a genuine precision instrument. Pushpieces located at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock activate the chronograph functions. The two dedicated counters are positioned at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. The three blued steel hands of the chronograph display bring an extra touch of finesse to this unique model. A third counter, at 9 o’clock, marks the passing of the seconds, and the aperture at 3 o’clock displays the day and date.

The 44 mm case stands out by its refined shape and resistance. The vertical Côtes de Genève adorning the silver dial subtly evoke the slender forms of Sydney Harbour Bridge, an early 1930s symbol of architectural modernism. For perfect readability, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, treated on both sides, protects the dial. The transparent case-back enables fine watchmaking enthusiasts to admire the automatic chronometer movement, certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (the official Swiss chronometer testing institute). It is decorated with blued screws, and the oscillating weight is adorned with Côtes de Genève and engraved with the Mido logo. This model is equipped with a brown leather strap and a folding clasp in stainless steel with rose PVD coating. It is water resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft).

CORUM – HERITAGE VINTAGE INGOT


CORUM HERITAGE VINTAGE INGOT NEW

The fascination of gold

In 1977, Corum celebrated the most universal of precious metals by creating a gold ingot watch. Drawing upon its rich history, the House based in La Chaux-de-Fonds pays tribute to this iconic 1970s model through a version featuring a dial graced with 15 grams of 24-carat gold resembling a freshly poured ingot and aptly named Heritage Ingot


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

Gold has been a perpetual source of fascination since the dawn of time. Noble, precious and radiant, as well as dense and malleable, it gives life to some of the most beautiful handcrafted watch and jewelry creations. The supreme reward in sporting competitions, gold is also an authentic barometer of the international economy. Slumbering in the vaults of the world’s main central banks, it represents a reassuring and tangible value in the face of international upheavals. In 1977, Corum offered a fresh twist on this symbol of prosperity by creating a watch featuring a dial in the shape of a genuine pure gold ingot.

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

Years have passed, but the appeal of gold remains as powerful as ever.  Corum pays tribute to the historical 1977 model through a new creation with a delightfully vintage touch: the Corum Heritage Ingot watch. Composed of an authentic 15-gram ingot in 3N 24K yellow gold, the dial is engraved with the inscription 999.9 – standing for the highest degree of purity (known as fineness) for this precious metal – along with its weight and the Corum signature. A hole drilled at the center accommodates the blackened steel hands modeled after the original model. The circumference of the 27 x 36 ingot-dial is finely beaded, while discreet hour-markers stand out against the inner bezel ring so as not to spoil the pure aesthetic.

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

This precious ingot, of which the authenticity is confirmed by an official certificate, is beautifully framed by an elegant rectangular case in 3N 18K yellow gold with delicately fluted sides echoed on the crown bearing the famous Corum key. Concealed from sight by a finely striated solid caseback in 3N 18K gold, the automatic CO 082 caliber beats with Swiss-level precision at the rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

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

Like the ingot-dial, this refined mechanism opts for a pure, restrained approach that involves showing only the essentials – namely the hours and minutes – and has a 42-hour power reserve. A distinguished black crocodile leather strap fitted with an engraved pin buckle sets the perfect finishing touch to this precious golden composition.

Ralph Lauren Sporting 45 mm Automotive Chronograph NEW


Here we present a preview of Ralph Lauren’s brand new 45 mm Automotive Chronograph timepiece which will be unveiled at the much awaited SIHH 2015 luxury watch fair (19 – 23 Jan, Geneva).

This model belongs to high performance and elegant Automotive Collection that was created as an expression of Ralph Lauren’s ability to create worlds of design that represent not just beautiful objects, but a philosophy of living. The Automotive timepieces represent an especially personal vision of watch design. Ralph Lauren’s collection of automobiles, painstakingly assembled over decades, is one of the finest in the world, and many of the design elements of the Automotive collection are derived from the same fusion of aesthetics and mechanical excellence.

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

Echoing automotive coachwork, the Automotive collection is characterized by case shapes that combine strong geometry with sweeping, graceful curves. The exposed screws on the bezel, as well as the brushed and polished surfaces of the cases, express the same mechanical fascination as a powerful engine.

 The dials of the Automotive watches are styled after the perfectly composed cockpit instruments of the world’s finest cars.

In particular, the Automotive collection has been inspired by Ralph Lauren’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, in its use of carefully selected elm burl wood as a dial element — the same material found on the automobile’s dashboard.

This particular chronograph timepiece from Ralph Lauren’s Sporting Collection is equipped with a mechanical self winding movement made by prestigious Swiss watch manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre exclusively for Ralph Lauren.
