H. MOSER & CIE. MAKES THE PERPETUAL CALENDAR MORE ACCESSIBLE
WITH A VERSION FOR EVERYDAY WEAR


In theory, sand, water and high-tech mechanics do not mix well. However, H. Moser & Cie. has developed a perpetual calendar in its Pioneer collection that is the first complication of its kind to be water-resistant to 120 metres. Why? To be on time for the ice-cream man? For those who think it's important to sport a stylish timepiece even on the beach? To seduce mermaids? Well, yes and no. Some may say "pointless". H. Moser & Cie. would argue "incredibly practical".

In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. launched the Pioneer collection. Bold and modern, the mark of a pioneering and
adventurous spirit, with a strong design which makes reference to the industrial world, models in this
collection are both elegant and comfortable – perfect for everyday wear. The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar
follows the same philosophy: a perpetual calendar which is easy to use and comfortable to wear.

Edouard eylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., sums up: "Without a doubt, the perpetual calendar is the most useful
complication of all. But, because the mechanism can be fragile, it is often kept safely hidden away in a box.
With the
Pioneer Perpetual Calendar, we wanted to create a piece that is perfect for everyday wear, on land
or in water, with its complex mechanism protected in a lightweight, robust and watertight case."
The case of
the Pioneer Perpetual Calendar is akin to a suit of armour, measuring 42.8 mm in diameter, and made of
several sections. This modular case is made from 5N red gold, featuring black DLC-finished titanium
components continuing the modern interpretation in the exceptional non-geometric shapes adorning the
sides of H. Moser & Cie models.

The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar features an ardoise fumé dial. To emphasise the practical aspect of this
model, its leaf-shaped hands are filled with Superluminova® and complemented by luminescent markers
indicating the hours on the flange. As for the strap, H. Moser & Cie. has chosen black alligator leather. The
boldest customers, however, will choose the rubber strap.

At the heart of the Pioneer Perpetual Calendar beats the legendary H. Moser & Cie. perpetual calendar
calibre, a marvel of ingenuity and complexity enhancing a complication which is executed with absolute
simplicity. It features 12 indices indicating both the hours and the months, a date window at 3 o'clock, an off-
centre small seconds at 6 o'clock and a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock: powered by the HMC 800 hand-
wound movement, this watch guarantees a generous minimum 7-day power reserve.

With its Pioneer Perpetual Calendar, H. Moser & Cie. is reinterpreting the perpetual calendar, bringing it into
the 21 st century and ranking it amongst those models which marry style and practicality. Guaranteed to
delight water sports fans and fish alike!

SINN – 910 Chronograph Anniversary
















Sinn Spezialuhren 910 Chronograph 55th Anniversary Limited Edition NEW

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






























To mark its 55th anniversary, German watch brand Sinn is presenting the 910 Anniversarylimited to just 300 pieces and boasting a special technical feature. For in addition to a stopwatch, it also features a split-seconds mechanism for recording intermediate times. This split-seconds hand moves in sync with the second stopwatch hand until the push-piece is pressed at 8 o’clock.

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






































Limited edition to 300 units
• Case made of stainless steel, polished/satinised
• Split-seconds function
• Ratchet wheel chronograph, exquisitely decorated
• Double scale for measuring units per hour (e.g. kilometres)
• Sapphire crystal glass on both sides
• Attached appliqué
• Pressure-resistant up to 10 bar
• Resistant to low pressure

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







































The split-seconds hand then remains in the ‘off’ position to allow you to read the intermediate time. On pressing the push-piece again, the split-seconds hand catches up with the second stopwatch hand and continues to move in sync with it.

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

















The historical value of an additional feature adds to its appeal. The 910 Anniversary features a ratchet wheel chronograph that stops the time. Timepieces constructed in this way are something of a rarity these days. They are regarded as technically demanding and as an expression of traditional watchmaking, since the ratchet wheel control mechanism has been a key component in traditional chronographs since the mid 1900s.

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






































While production is extremely complex, the utmost care and precision is required in assembly. Since the ratchet wheel controls the start, stop and reset functions, it is subject to high levels of stress. The highest possible resistance to wear and tear is required in order to make full use of the benefits, for example an easy-to-operate push-piece. The workings of the perfectly synchronised mechanism can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal back, which provides great aesthetic appeal.

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







































Thanks to the vintage-look dial and attached appliqué, the chronograph also has a particularly high-quality and exquisite feel. To commemorate the 55th anniversary, the limited-edition number and the years ‘1961–2016’ are engraved on the case back.

ARMIN STROM HITS TOP SPEED WITH ITS MAX CHILTON EDITION
EDGE DOUBLE BARREL

With its rugged look and audacious design, the ARMIN STROM Edge Double Barrel suits the daring, high-octane world of professional car racing. The independent Swiss watch brand designed a custom edition together with pro driver Max Chilton, a friend and brand ambassador, that accentuates the timepiece's strong look with new graphic details. The Max Chilton Edition Edge Double Barrel commemorates his competition in the North American Verizon IndyCar Series this year.

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



























Drawing on Chilton's number and IndyCar, ARMIN STROM's designers integrated a number of eye-catching details. On the dial side, Chilton's numeral 8 appears in the small seconds register. Striking blue hour numbers match the blue on his turbocharged Chevrolet racecar.

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


























A special plate on the back is etched with Chilton's "Max" logo and notes this special series is limited to just eight timepieces.

"I love a heavier and larger watch on my wrist that still has a sporty feel to it," says Chilton. "The Edge offers this in a way I haven't seen before, and I feel very lucky to have one designed and turned into a limited run of eight."

Along with the Chilton design additions, ARM16 caliber features the timepiece's unusual geometric and angular components. Unconventional cross-grinding decoration of the hand-beveled bridges intensifies the watch's industrial feel. The bezel is enhanced with a series of cutouts.

Pierre DeRoche – TNT Royal Retro Skull 47 Edition


Pierre DeRoche TNT Royal Retro Skull 47 Limited Edition NEW

A CONTEMPORARY  
TNT  ROYAL RETRO SKULL
PAYING WITH LIGHT AND SHADE

The inherently rebellious, unique and technical TNT Royal Retro Skull reflects the highly contemporary trend for personalisation, while preserving all the original qualities of its Royal Retro movement. 

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
































The world’s only calibre capable of housing six retrograde seconds mechanisms stages a fascinating ballet of six hands dancing across ten-second periods that instantly draws the gaze and positions this timepiece firmly in the category of “showtime” complications. In the notable absence of a dial, its broad and eminently visible central bridge provides unlimited space for brand aficionados to make their individual model even more exclusive and personal. On this first limited-edition interpretation, the hexagonal central going train bridge is adorned with a skull motif that has become a classic theme in contemporary watchmaking. A distinctive laser-engraving technique creates a striking play on light and shade exploring the many nuances of grey. Contrasting shades outline the shape of the skull using the “light trapping” method, offering a fascinating means of marrying metal with this promising form of expertise.

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

The excellence of Dubois Dépraz, a renowned Manufacture of complicated movements, powers the beating heart of the TNT Royal Retro. This sporty timepiece displays the hours and minutes, seconds with retrograde function appearing on six 10-second sectors, moving retrograde hand indicator and a date window. Its 47.5 mm-diameter case is made of steel and black PVD-coated titanium, set in this version with 240 brilliant-cut totalling approx. 1.10 cts.

Carole and Pierre Dubois, founders of the Pierre DeRoche brand, make an absolute priority of reliability, driven by a blend of creativity and exclusivity. The unique alchemy of this couple’s relationship reflects the horological complications enriching the collections of the Maison.
