HUBLOT - King Power ALINGHI 4000

HUBLOT - King Power ALINGHI 4000

Hublot alongside Alinghi to proudly represent Switzerland and Swiss Made expertise on waters around the world.

Today, at the Société Nautique de Genève, to mark the Décision 35 Alinghi's first race outing, Ernesto Bertarelli and Jean-Claude Biver are together unveiling the watch created in tribute to their partnership.
This partnership is a story of friendship, a human story. It is about mutual loyalty based on a shared passion for the sea and sailing, a love of sport and the quest for performance and for cutting-edge technological innovation, both in terms of materials and original technical developments. It is also about a powerful tie to Swiss Made and the Swiss colours. The two bosses, Ernesto Bertarelli and Jean-Claude Biver, have a shared set of values, as well as a shared concept of team spirit, hard work and effort, and respect.

After its commitments to Alinghi in 2009 and 2010 in the 33rd America’s Cup, Hublot is now renewing its partnership with the Swiss team in its big international challenges. Today, the Swiss watchmaking brand is particularly pleased to announce its presence on board the two monotype series boats chosen by Alinghi for the 2012 season: the Extreme 40 and the Décision 35. The former is taking to the open waters around the world in the highly rarefied Extreme 40 international circuit. The first two rounds took place in Oman at the end of February, and in Qingdao, China, a fortnight ago. The second boat – the Décision 35 Alinghi - will be in action on Lake Geneva. It sets sail from Geneva the first weekend in May – from the 4th to 6th – in the Grand Prix Les Ambassadeurs.
To mark the occasion, Ernesto Bertarelli and Jean-Claude Biver have decided to unveil the new series of watches, limited to just 100 numbered pieces, on 4 May after the regattas at the Société Nautique de Genève. This is an ultra-technical watch designed to meet all the challenges of the maritime environment, a King Power Alinghi 4000 dive watch made completely from carbon – a material similar to that used in boat manufacture – able to withstand the extreme pressures found at depths of 4,000 metres, an exceptional technical achievement. An instrument developed and manufactured in Switzerland to push the limits of what is rational, and what is possible. It took no less than 18 months of research, development and testing to present the first model.

 Ernesto Bertarelli remarked:
 "It is a great pleasure to welcome Hublot back on board Alinghi, and an honour to have as a partner a company which is devoted to representing the values of quality and Swiss Made expertise across the world".
Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot, added:
"Hublot is yet again demonstrating through this partnership its commitment to promoting Swiss values and Swiss technology; the fundamental values of Swiss Made, to which watchmaking as a whole is privileged to refer."

Hublot has always been close to the world of sailing and the sea, through its very name of course, but also through prestigious partnerships such as with Yacht Club Monaco, the Monaco Oceanographic Museum and its Institute, or the Real Club Nautico de Palma with the Copa Del Rey.
Supporting Alinghi is a clear choice for Hublot, which is already delighted with the magnificent forthcoming spectacle on waters around the world, as well as here in Switzerland on Lake Geneva.

MB&F - MoonMachine

MB&F - MoonMachine NEW

MoonMachin by Finnish watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva is both the first of the MB&F Performance Art pieces by a watchmaker and the first to endow a Machine with a new complication. With MoonMachin, Stepan has taken a specially configured HM3 Frog and transformed it with his iconic moon-face moon-phase indicator set in a scintillating firmament of northern stars.

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

The MOON: Around 4.5 billion years ago when the young Earth was still forming, Theia, a proto-planet the size of Mars, is thought to have struck our planet and disintegrated in a ‘Giant Impact’. Some of the debris was attracted by the Earth’s gravity and the rest – consisting of material from both Earth and Theia – went into orbit around the Earth. Within 12 months this orbiting debris coalesced to form the Moon.


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

Over the next 4.4 billion years, the Earth’s tilt in relation to the sun was stabilised by the gravitational pull of the Moon, which provided regular relatively mild seasons over much of the planet’s surface – ideal conditions for life to form and evolve.

Without that cataclysmic event, we would not be here. You might say we are all Children of the Moon.






























 And no sooner did modern man start walking the earth than he stared up at the night sky in wonder and awe at the biggest and brightest orb in the heavens. Perhaps none more so than the inhabitants of Finland – including Stepan Sarpaneva – because the less romantic and less well-known counterpoise to the summertime Land of the Midnight Sun are extremely long nights in winter, which gives the population more time than most to study the moon and stars.

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

 MOONMACHINE:
While considerably less cataclysmic than the formation of our Moon, MOONMACHINE was also forged from the creative collision of two worlds: MB&F's HM3 Frog and independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva.

Before launching his own brand Sarpaneva Watches in 2003, Stepan Sarpaneva worked with some of the most prestigious Swiss brands including Piaget, Parmigiani – where he worked alongside Kari Voutilainen – Vianney Halter and Christophe Claret.

"Stepan has an incredible sense of design and a real sense of detail. His work and everything he surrounds himself with is extremely coherent." Maximilian Büsser

Stepan Sarpaneva: Stepan’s three signature themes are all celestial: his very distinctive moon face; the northern stars and constellations; and the crenellated form of his Korona case – the korona/corona is the plasma atmosphere of the Sun – and all three have been incorporated in MOONMACHINE. Sarpaneva's two moon faces indicate the phase of the moon through a Korona shaped aperture, while the mystery winding rotor is actually a blued 22k gold disc with laser-pierced stars forming stars and constellations visible in the northern sky.

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

 

 






































 “The visible movement at the top of HM3 Frog added a technical aspect that provided a serious counterpoint to the playfulness of the bulging frog-eyed indications. In covering the movement, the moon phase and sky hides this and makes the timepiece more poetic. With MOONMACHINE, HM3 is transformed into a fairy tale.” Stepan Sarpaneva

HM3 Frog: The Frog was chosen as the MOONMACHINE platform because the large visible movement opening in the dial side provides space for the watchmaker to play and the bulbous indication domes of the Frog are reminiscent of how science fiction buffs have long imagined habitable domes on the Moon. The Frog differs substantially from HM3 in that it is the aluminium domes that rotate under the sapphire crystals in the Frog, whereas it is the hour and minute hands that rotate around their respective stationary cones on HM3. And this is no ordinary HM3 Frog – if such a thing can be said to exist – the domes of the MOONMACHINE are unique in that they are perpendicular, rather than parallel, to the wrist.

Rotating the large indicator domes posed a number of technical challenges. The domes are machined from solid aluminium to a paper-thin wall thickness of just 0.28 mm to reduce energy requirements to an absolute minimum. The semi-spherical sapphire crystal domes have to be meticulously machined and polished as the slightest imperfection might create disconcerting magnification effects. And the Frog's unusual method of indicating time necessitated the development of a new gear train for the HM3 engine as the aluminium hour dome of the Frog rotates in 12 hours compared to the 24-hour revolution of the HM3 hour hand.

MOONMACHINE may portray the time in a playful manner, but there is nothing but serious and meticulous attention to detail and care regarding the fine hand-finishing of the high-tuned engine purring within.

Northern Sky Rotor: The multi-layered northern sky rotor adds a stunning background to the twin hand-finished moon faces. It also both disguises the potentially distracting HM3 gold winding rotor and makes use of its motion to add vivacity to the moving stars. The stars are laser-pierced allowing light to reflect from the movement underneath and are not simply placed at random: They form the seven brightest stars in Ursa Major, more commonly known as the Big Dipper/Big Plough/Big Bear, plus the seven brightest stars of Ursa Minor, more commonly known as the Little Dipper/Little Bear, which includes Polaris, the North star.

And in a detail watchmakers will appreciate, one of the stars is strategically positioned to allow access for a servicing tool.

The turning star-filled night sky of the rotor not only brings metaphoric life to the MOONMACHINE, but also literally provides life as it generates the power for both the functioning of the moon complication and the movement. The iconic MB&F battle-axe sits in pride-of-place between the two moon faces at the axis of the rotor.

"With MOONMACHINE, HM3 doesn't just look like it travels through space, it is now a part of space. It becomes a participant not just an observer." Stepan Sarpaneva.

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

While a man’s face formed by craters on the Moon’s surface is the result of over-active imaginations, Stepan Sarpaneva has based MOONMACHINE’s moon faces on his own. It doesn’t get much more personal than that!

MOONMACHINE is available in three limited editions of 18 pieces each: titanium case with white gold moon faces in a light blue sky, black titanium case with white gold moon faces in a dark blue sky and red gold case with red gold moon faces in an anthracite sky.

The Moon: 
Technical Specifications
While other planets have more moons – Jupiter has 62 – and larger moons – Saturn’s moon Titan is twice the size of ours – the Earth’s moon is unique in our solar system because at ¼ the size of Earth, it is very large in relation to its planet, which is why it is so influential.
Average distance from Earth: 390,000km
Travelling time from Earth: three days
Gravity: 1/6th Earth gravity
Length of lunar day: 27.3 Earth days
The moon does not rotate in relation to the Earth
Influences on Earth: Causes two tidal cycles per day; often provides light at night; lunar cycle was one of the very first units of time; its gravity attracts many meteors and stops them hitting Earth; stabilises the tilt of the Earth in relation to the sun.

JAQUET DROZ - SW Tourbillon

JAQUET DROZ - Grande Seconde SW Tourbillon NEW

THE SPORTS WATCH (SW) LINE BY JAQUET DROZ

Sporting values may be seen as the latest thing, but Jaquet Droz adopted them from the start. Today, these values are integral to the brand's passion for measuring each moment of passing time and creating fabulous instruments to do it with. Its sports watch (SW) line is composed of timepieces with which house innovation is definitely... in time. Fine materials join forces with natural rubber and Super-LumiNova to produce a striking visual effect, backed by various exciting surprises on the technology front.

GRANDE SECONDE SW STEEL-RUBBER

When a great classic combines the excellence of traditional watchmaking with the exploits of modern-day technology, it is only natural to expect perfection.

Setting out to develop the Grande Seconde SW Steel-Rubber, Jaquet Droz mobilized the best that its craftsmanship and philosophy had to offer. Its artisans drew inspiration from the brand's unique heritage and history to produce a futuristic model using the revolutionary design of the Grande Seconde and cutting-edge materials. The goal was to create a remarkable, sleek model featuring marvels of innovation... Mission accomplished!

The perfect lines of this dial are obtained in a complex process performed on a single solid block of steel, hollowed to lower the surface level. The elegant balance of the fine-brushed figure eight, the fineness of its spine and the red Super-LumiNova coating on hands and indicators – the red accentuates the depth of the black – all contribute to a refined interplay of volumes, colors and reflections of light. Also hollowed, the plates discreetly stress the dominance of rounded contours. An impression of comfort also prevails: since the bracelet is made of steel – a first for Jaquet Droz – and clad in supple natural rubber, the Grande Seconde SW Steel-Rubber feels surprisingly light and unexpectedly warm. For those who love truly fine watches, this timepiece represents the ultimate in luxury for everyday wear. 


TOURBILLON

In 2011, Jaquet Droz surprised the world of watchmaking by incorporating the tourbillon, a complication that frees the mechanical watch from the effects of gravity, into the brand's iconic Grande Seconde model, whose dial design takes inspiration from a house leitmotif: the number eight.

Today, Jaquet Droz has decided to reinvent this fusion: for the first time, it will be including one of watchmaking's most challenging complications in its line of sports watches (SW), the first of which was presented in 2008.

To meet the challenge, the master artisans from La Chaux-de-Fonds pushed back the limits of watchmaking mechanics. Inserted at the top of the dial, the tourbillon reveals the extraordinary complexity of its mechanism. The upper bridge has been changed to perform the function of the seconds hand, whose elegant profile harmonizes with the sporty look of the watch.

Positioned opposite, the hours and minutes counter uses classical Roman numerals, giving them, as well as the hands, a coat of white Super-LumiNova to set up a contrast with the black rubber treatment of the dial. Set horizontally, the plates, carefully secured with screws, convey the perfect graphic balance and chromatic harmony of the Tourbillon. This visual and technical performance comes in a generously sized 45 mm case whose look of power is highlighted by the precious shimmer of red gold and the fine fluting on the bezel. The alligator strap – used for the first time for a sports watch – brings its own special gleam to this exceptional timepiece.

The Tourbillon expresses the love of sports in perfect luxury.

H. Moser & Cie - Meridian Dual Time

H. Moser & Cie - Meridian - Dual Time


The movement exclusive to the Meridian - Dual Time combines well-known and popular complications with a special new feature: an AM/PM display, which changes automatically from 12 to 24 hours. The prominent window at the top of the dial displays a 12 in the morning (AM) and a 24 in the afternoon (PM) for the home time zone. The somewhat smaller red hour hand for the second time zone can be adjusted forwards or backwards in steps of one hour by means of the crown. Thanks to Moser’s patented Double Pull Crown system, the central position of the crown can be easily located without the watch being inadvertently stopped or the home time being adjusted. If the second time zone is not required, the different-coloured hour hand is hidden under the normal hour hand and thus moves along with it unseen.

With a power reserve of 72 hours, i.e. three full days, the Moser automatic movement HMC 346.121 is one of the longest-running models available. The large, solid gold rotor bears the engraved company seal, a symbol of the quality and authenticity of every Moser watch for 185 years.

The rotor transfers its energy to the large barrel by means of a pawl winding system which is wound up in either direction. One of the two pawls turns the pawl wheel on pull, the other on push. The accuracy of the Meridian - Dual Time is assured by Moser’s characteristic interchangeable escapement module which, naturally, also features a Straumann Hairspring, produced in-house, a Breguet overcoil and a pallet fork and escapement wheel in hardened solid gold.
The Meridian - Dual Time also has Moser’s characteristic freely formed lateral surfaces on the case flanks. The see-through sapphire glass back of the watch allows the observer a closer look at the new mechanical automatic movement developed by Moser.

Alternating 12-and 24-hour display

To indicate morning and afternoon, the Meridian - Dual Time uses a completely innovative system. A slide, moving back and forth, contains only the digits 1, 2 and 4. The correct display is achieved by either the digit 4 being hidden to the right of the window in the dial or the digit 1 being hidden under the dial to the left. The change of display at noon or at midnight takes only a second to complete. This has been accomplished by using a spring, which gains tension over a period of about eight hours without affecting the workings of the rest of the movement. Twice a day, the power of this spring is released at once to produce the rapid movement of the slide.

Perrelet - Tourbillon Automatic

Perrelet - Tourbillon Automatic NEW
 
The new Tourbillon by Perrelet reveals its ingenious mechanism, a gem of the horological art, through an open window at 12 o’clock. Silver-toned and enhanced with several color accents, it stands out to its best advantage as it majestically ticks off the seconds. 


Providing an elegant counterpoint at 6 o’clock, the applied hours and minutes are displayed on a black surface that merges seamlessly into the finely fashioned dial structure. In the center, the raised Côtes de Genève motif creates a shutter-like pattern making a fascinating contrast with the surround composed of overlapping geometrical elements. The latter are reminiscent of the characteristic blade tips of the Turbine collection, a spectacular expression of the Double Rotor that has become a Perrelet signature.

Spread over the entire watch, the black shade reinforces its resolutely high-tech character, further accentuating the bold nature of the most generously sized of all the Perrelet cases, made in this instance in DLC-coated steel. Endowed with a 50 mm diameter, it features a middle on which the the distinctive grooves are widely spaced. The bezel is straddled by various elements adding a sense of volume, while the lugs contribute to the sense of power enhanced by central reinforcements consolidating the secure hold of the rubber strap.

As one would expect from Perrelet, the mechanical movement is of the self-winding type.
The Perrelet Caliber P-311, endowed with a 65-hour power reserve, may be admired through a transparent caseback. As usual in the brand’s creations, it is personalized by an exclusive rotor.

Jaeger-LeCoultre - Grande Reverso Ultra Thin SQ

Jaeger-LeCoultre - Grande Reverso Ultra Thin SQ NEW


A steel labyrinth; a watch with two finely crafted faces. The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Squelette lends its dual nature to the ancestral art of openworking, thereby serving as the emissary of an artistic and technical expertise mastered by only a very few watch manufacturers. Entirely openworked and decorated by hand, the mechanical movement reveals its wheel-trains fascinatingly interwoven according to a purposefully created design that leaves nothing to chance.

The artisan has patiently removed material using the blade of a small saw in order to reduce the mechanism to bare essentials, while nonetheless ensuring its flawless reliability. All the sides have been individually hand-drawn, chamfered, polished, chased and engraved. Blued screws are dotted across this delicate lacework, while the jewels are there as a reminder that this is a first-rate mechanical manually-wound movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 849RSQ.

The latter has become a legend because of its exceptional qualities including a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and an ultra-thin 1.85 mm thickness comprising 128 parts. Its extremely slender architecture calls for exceptional machining precision, while its openworking adds to the complexity of the task and represents an impressive accomplishment. In order to honour this exquisitely meticulous work, the white gold dial is framed by finely engraved arabesques, accompanied on the front by a blue-tinted translucent enamel coating echoing the traditional colour of the blued hands. Issued in a 50-piece limited edition, the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin SQ radiates emblematic Art Deco lines and peerless finesse highlighted by rare forms of craftsmanship inherited from the past and handed down from generation to generation within the Manufacture.
