 The latest U-BOAT Chimera comes in a new case material featuring forged carbon fibre, employed in Aeronautics, making it extremely resistant yet surprisingly lightweight.

The way the fibres are placed in the case mould are what makes each watches unique.
From an aesthetic point of view, its marbled effect, satiny and soft to the touch.

Each watch is unique because the carbon fibers are distributed in a random manner in the mold. “When the material is compressed under heating, it evolves in an unpredictable way”.

The watch is combined with a distressed calf leather strap, that has been hand finished using traditional artisan techniques, and boasts a GMT complication.

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.

PANERAI – POCKET WATCH 3 Days Oro Rosso PAM00447

OFFICINE PANERAI – POCKET WATCH 3 Days Oro Rosso - 50mm PAM447 Special Edition NEW

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

The absolute purity of Panerai’s design achieves an unprecedented and exclusive expression in the new gold pocket watches, two extremely elegant Special Editions of only 50 units each: the Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Rosso (PAM00447) and the Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Bianco (PAM00529).

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

The pocket watch is one of the most elegant and sophisticated masculine accessories, thanks to its association with the not-so-distant past when a gentleman would never have thought of wearing his timepiece on his wrist: until the early years of the century wristwatches were largely seen as a lady’s accessory. It was only during the First World War that the wearing of wristwatches began to spread among men, gradually transforming the pocket watch as an everyday item into an exclusive rarity, reserved for connoisseurs and collectors. In the first decades of the 20th century, Panerai’s Orologeria in Florence was a popular destination for anyone looking for a pocket watch, as is expressed by the inscription “Orologi da tasca delle principali marche svizzere” (“Pocket watches of the main Swiss brands”) on the window facing the Baptistery in Piazza San Giovanni. The new Pocket Watch 3 Days models are renewing this tradition, and enhancing it with the high quality watchmaking content of the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel.

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

The case of the new Panerai pocket watches has the simple, perfect cushion shape of the Radiomir, the first prototypes of which date from 1936. Available in red gold and white gold, the polished case 50 mm in diameter has a single gold bow surrounding the winding crown at 12 o’clock, instead of the classic wire strap attachments. The dial of the watch is in the classic Panerai style, with large baton hour markers and numerals at the cardinal points, and it has the sun-brushed finish which endows both versions – anthracite for the white gold model and brown for the red gold – with a sophisticated appearance of great depth.

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

The new pocket watches reproduce the construction which has been typical of Panerai dials since the 1930s: two superimposed discs enclose a layer of ecru Super-LumiNova®, which shines with exceptional brightness through the apertures in the upper disc corresponding to the hour markers. This structure ensures remarkable legibility even under conditions of very poor light.

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

As is often the case with precious objects of understated elegance, it is the back of the watch that hides the most fascinating surprise for enthusiasts of high quality watchmaking. The large round cover concealing the movement can easily be opened in order to admire the finish of the P.3001/10 calibre, completely developed and made in the Officine Panerai manufacture at Neuchâtel.

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

  Hand-wound with a power reserve of three days and power reserve indication set in the back, the P.3001 calibre is presented for the first time in a new version, with the bridges and the two barrels skeletonised and with chamfered polished angles. The skeletonising enables the finish and sophistication of the details of the movement to be observed, such as the wheelwork and the gilded engraving. It also reveals the operation of the calibre, for example, the unwinding and winding of the springs in the barrels as the watch is running or while it is being wound. A fascinating spectacle which is protected and concealed from view by means of the polished cover, the outside of which can be personalised with engraving.

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

Also completely original and with every detail designed by Officine Panerai is the watch chain 40 cm long, the design of which is inspired by nautical chains. Like the case, it is made entirely in red gold or white gold, terminated by two hooks of the same material which engage easily and securely.

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

Consistent with the history of the brand, every Panerai watch has a high degree of water-resistance and the two new models, the Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Bianco and the Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Rosso, are no exception, being guaranteed to resist a pressure of five atmospheres (equivalent to a depth of about 50 metres). The exquisite mahogany box specially made to contain the watch also includes a special stand on which the watch can be placed when it is not being worn, turning it into a unique table clock.

HM Horses Set
Limited to 28 sets of 2 timepieces
Arnold & Son greets the Chinese New Year with an exquisitely crafted limited edition set
The Horse is one of the twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac and one of its most revered symbols. To mark the beginning of this much awaited year on 31st January 2014, Arnold & Son proudly presents a special limited edition of 28 pairs of watches inspired by the horses depicted in traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings.

HM Horses Set

Exclusive Arnold & Son mechanical movement A&S1001, hand-wound, black or white lacquered dial with hand-finished miniature painting, 18-carat rose gold cases, diameter 40 mm

© Arnold & Son

The Horse is one of the most powerful symbols in the Chinese zodiac and stands for a wealth of desirable characteristics. Individuals born under this sign, which is symbolic of speed and strength, are reputed to be energetic and independent with a free, unbounded spirit. In honour of the Year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar, Arnold & Son has created 28 pairs of watches, each featuring a depiction of the horses often found in traditional Chinese ink wash painting.

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

Adorning each of the two lacquer dials is a hand-finished miniature painting of two horses, one pair black and grey on white, the other white and grey against a black background. Nuances of tone and shading, from jet black to silvery grey, are achieved by the tiny brushstrokes and texturing gradually to build-up the entire image with an astonishing richness of details. The art of painting miniatures by hand calls for infinite patience and consummate skill. A skill that takes years of concentrated practice to fully master.

The two watches in each pair of this limited edition from Arnold & Son are powered by the A&S1001 calibre, developed, designed and manufactured entirely at Arnold & Son’s workshops, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.The classical design is underscored by the slim, 18-carat rose gold case, which is also available with an optional diamond-set bezel. The simplicity of the black and white lacquered dials, which have just two hands and a minimalist chapter ring consisting of tiny dots, leaves the stage free for the dynamic miniature depiction of two charging horses. The timepieces are each presented with a high-quality black alligator leather strap.
