AUDEMARS PIGUET Golf Ambassador Henrik Stenson wins BMW International Open in Germany


“ICEMAN” HENRIK STENSON BACK
IN THE WINNER CIRCLE

The Swede climbs back to world number 5 after his victory
at the
BMW International Open in Germany

Le Brassus, Tuesday 29th June 2016 – Henrik Stenson consolidated his place as the best ranked Audemars Piguet Golf Ambassador worldwide, with a victory at the BMW International Open in Germany. On Sunday June 26th, he had to complete 36 holes due to a flooded course on Saturday. He once again lived up to his nickname “Iceman” when he managed to plough through 3 bogeys in 5 holes without letting it affect his grit to keep the lead during his final round and finally win the title.

Henrik had several great results since the start of the 2016 season (2nd in Houston and in South Africa, 3rd in Orlando and in Abu Dhabi, 4th in Sweden, 6th in Dubai) and a total of 8 runner up finishes since he last won a tournament in Dubai in November 2014. He has now reached the world number 5th place.

When lifting the trophy, Henrik sported a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph specially made for the Audemars Piguet Golf Dream Team. Recognizable with its icy blue strap, it has a white ceramic case with blue ceramic pushers and crown. It is the first time Audemars Piguet uses coloured ceramic outside white and black.

H. MOSER & CIE. – VENTURER Tourbillon White Gold




















H. MOSER & CIE. VENTURER Tourbillon White Gold Unique Piece NEW


H. Moser & Cie.'s fumé dials have become integral to its identity. Their sunburst pattern creates a play of light, gradually diminishing towards the edges, moving from light into shade. In a unique design exercise, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture has reinterpreted these nuances on its dials in a gem-setting technique. Sapphires and diamonds alternate in an enchanting and precious circle, in an invitation to rediscover the Venturer Tourbillon.

Like the Renaissance painters, skilfully applying and blending shades of colour, H. Moser & Cie. has selected
and set the most stunning sapphires according to their colour nuances, to produce their notable sfumato effect
for this unique piece. On the Venturer Tourbillon's two-level dial, the gems reinterpret the fumé aspect in their
own way.

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































The bezel, folding buckle, crown, lugs and sides of the case on the Venturer Tourbillon sparkle with
diamonds of various sizes, highlighting the unusual shapes in the case profile that are so dear to H. Moser &
Cie.
The contrast is striking: the sparkle of the smooth cut stones is set off beautifully by the clean, minimalist
lines of the Venturer collection, inspired by H. Moser & Cie.'s historic pocket watches and by the convex
shapes typical of the 1960s.

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































The curve of the sapphire crystal is echoed in the dial and rounded edges of the hands. The refined, elegant
bezel offers a clear view of the dial, revealing the hypnotic depths of the setting and giving the illusion that you
are actually diving deep into the heart of the tourbillon cage, positioned at 6 o'clock, accentuated by the
skeleton bridge.

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































At the heart of this highly poetic piece, the impulse set in motion in the highly technical movement can be
seen. The HMC 802 self-winding calibre is equipped with a Straumann® Double Hairspring for improved
accuracy and isochronism, and set in an interchangeable tourbillon module.

In this stone-set version, the Venturer Tourbillon is, more than ever, an invitation to dream, to escape.

EBERHARD & CO. – Extra-fort Special Edition for MORESCHI


EBERHARD & CO.Extra-Fort Automatic Special Edition for MORESCHI NEW


One of the best examples of Swiss excellence in the watch-making world paired with the most sophisticated of leather goods has produced the “Extra-fort Special Edition for Moreschi”;

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


... an elegant and refined watch that best expresses a number of characteristics shared by the two companies: a unique and unmistakable style, timeless class and great attention to detail.

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

The idea of creating an Eberhard & Co. watch for Moreschi was inspired by the long-standing and deep-rooted bond of friendship and mutual respect between the two companies: indeed, the watchmaker’s timepiece owned by Mario Moreschi, the company’s founder and grandfather of the current proprietor, dates back to 1949.

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

Jealously guarded and handed down from generation to generation, as tradition would have it for the most valuable and best-loved products, this watch has been a source of inspiration for both companies, eventually leading to the idea of creating a special product that would combine Swiss watch-making know-how with Made in Italy craftsmanship.

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





“When we thought about a product that could meet Moreschi’s aesthetic and functionality
requirements”
, states Mario Peserico, CEO of Eberhard Italia, “our choice fell immediately
on one of our most popular collections: the
Extra-fort in its most essential version: the Extra-
fort
Automatic. We wanted to offer Moreschi a watch that has extremely smooth, clean
lines but which is elegant and charming at the same time.”

Francesco Moreschi - Marketing and Communication Manager at Moreschi SpA - adds:
Moreschi and Eberhard are two concerns, two companies, two brands that are able to
blend tradition and innovation, classic elegance and contemporary style. Hence the
Extra-
fort
limited edition
for Moreschi that not only keeps time, but also marks the history of our
family and therefore of our company.”

The “time-only” mechanical self-winding watch uniquely expresses Eberhard & Co.’s predilection for elegance and harmony. It has a 40 mm case and a beige dial with “soleil” finish.

The colour choice comes from the desire to evoke the warm tones of the finest leather.

The dial is customised with the symbolic logo of the company for which it was created, positioned at twelve o'clock, two men's shoes that come together to form the brand’s identifying M.

The dark brown ostrich leather strap with hand-sewn beige stitching was specifically designed by Moreschi and matches the dial perfectly. The watch has a screw-down crown, curved sapphire glass and is water resistant to 50 metres.

A vintage style and a clear, linear design make the "Extra-fort Special Edition for Moreschi", a refined watch, rich in charm, a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, as well as the ideal companion for businessmen of every era.

After being “unveiled” for the very first time at the international watch-making fair in Basel, the model, in a limited edition of 200 pieces, was officially presented at the Milan Men’s Fashion Week (17 - 21 June) during a dedicated event in Milan on Monday 20 June, at Pisa Orologeria.

ARNOLD & SON - Royal Collection HM Dragon & Fenghuang Edition

Arnold & Son celebrates the dragon and the fenghuang
(Chinese Phoenix) with an exquisitely crafted limited edition

The latest limited edition from Arnold & Son combines inspiration from traditional Chinese paper cutting with traditional Haute Horlogerie. This special tribute to the dragon and fenghuang is limited to just five timepieces.

Manufacture Arnold & Son A&S1001 calibre, hours, minutes,
red dragon and fenghuang on white mother-of-pearl dial, 18-karat rose gold case, diameter 40 mm

In Chinese mythology the dragon is a divine creature signifying power and good fortune, and is the free spirit of the zodiac. In ancient and modern Chinese culture, the dragon is often depicted along with the fenghuang.

The dragon and fenghuang are indeed considered symbolic of blissful relations between husband and wife, a common yin and yang metaphor. A symbol of high virtue and grace, the fenghuang has multiple positive connotations.

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

This limited edition was created to celebrate these divine creatures. The dragon and fenghuang are depicted with a technique reinterpreting the principles of the ancestral art of Chinese paper cutting, also named Jianzhi. Instead of paper the motive is created on mother-of-pearl by applying successive layers of lacquer with a miniature pad, executed with exquisite delicacy of touch and featuring fine details that evoke the depth and texture of the dragon and the fenghuang.

Arnold & Son is proud of this singular timepiece, as Fabien Dutriaux explains: “The light reflected from the depths of the white mother-of-pearl dial illuminates the richness of detail in the exquisite motive and eloquently expresses our mastery of the decorative arts.” It is no small tribute to the craftsman who created it to say that the image on the dial captures all the finesse in the ancestral Chinese art of paper cutting.

The watch is powered by the A&S1001 movement, which is just 2.70 mm thick and manufactured entirely in-house. Housed in a 40 mm 18-karat rose gold case, it has twin barrels that generate a 90-hour power reserve, guarantee a more constant force and in turn a more constant rate and greater accuracy. All the plates and bridges in the movement are hand-chamfered and decorated – a further indication of the traditional craftsmanship upheld by Arnold & Son.
