Carl F. Bucherer – MANERO Tourbillon White Gold Limited Edition

Carl F. Bucherer – MANERO Tourbillon White Gold Limited Edition NEW

MANERO TOURBILLON LIMITED EDITION 2016
MASTERY OF CRAFT AND TECHNOLOGY

Since its invention in the latter years of the 18th century, the tourbillon has represented one of the greatest technical challenges in the art of watchmaking. When Swiss watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer introduced its first produced Tourbillon in 2013, the traditional brand from Lucerne reinforced its watchmaking mastery and reputation for horological excellence. Now, a new 2016 Manero Tourbillon limited edition carries on the superb performance and classic styling of the original model, introducing a sophisticated new variation crafted in 18 karat white gold and red gold accents, produced in a series of 188 pieces.

Mark of Achievement

For many years, wristwatches were subject to the negative effects of gravity on the balance wheel, as varying movements of the wearer’s wrist caused the balance wheel to speed up or slow down. A tourbillon is designed to offset these gravitational effects by placing the balance wheel within a specially engineered rotating cage. In this format, the balance wheel and cage orbit independently to maintain consistently accurate timekeeping.

Crafting a tourbillon driven movement stands as a benchmark of watchmaking achievement, one which Carl F. Bucherer has mastered in the Manero Tourbillon. The brand’s own manufacture movement integrates this groundbreaking complication seamlessly, contained within a distinctly classical style Manero watch. The new Limited Edition for 2016 introduces an 18 karat white gold case for the first time, accented with gold toned hands and indexes in contrast to a deep black dial.

Strength and Precision

The Manero Tourbillon radiates sophistication and technical prowess in an elegant 41.8mm diameter case made of 18 karat white gold. The dynamic motion of the tourbillon takes center stage on the dial, displayed prominently through a round cutout at 6 o’clock. At 9 o’clock, the power reserve indicator provides a reading of remaining power, an average of 70-hours of consistent performance delivered by the in-house manufacture movement CFBT1001.

Essential indicators incorporate seamlessly into the refined design of the Manero Tourbillon, including a 24-hour display at 12 o’clock and a third-hand date display. The date numerals which surround the bezel rotate alignment at 3 and 9 o’clock for an intuitive and legible reading of the date. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides reveals a flawless view of the Manero Tourbillon’s dial, while the caseback of sapphire crystal allows a view of the CFBT1001 manufacture movement in action.

Contemporary elements complement the tourbillon’s technical complexity. The unified and graceful design includes the bold writing in Carl F. Bucherer’s trademark style, along with gold toned wedge-shaped index hour markers and tapered lance-shaped hour and minute hands, set in contrast against a satin-brushed dial in a deep and lustrous black. A hand-stitched black Louisiana alligator leather strap with white gold clasp completes the harmonious composition of the Manero Tourbillon Limited Edition 2016.

A. Lange & Söhne – LANGE 1 TIME ZONE Honey Gold Edition

A. Lange & Söhne – LANGE 1 TIME ZONE Honey Gold Exclusive Limited Edition NEW

Exclusive edition of the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE debuts

On 25 October 2016, A. Lange & Söhne presented a special edition of the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE in honey gold. The date is no coincidence. It recalls the presentation of the first Lange collection 22 years ago in the Dresden residential palace – and features a subtle detail of the limited 100-watch edition: on the rotating city ring, Central European Time is represented by Dresden.

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

24 October 1994 is a special date in the history of A. Lange & Söhne. It was the day on which the legendary inaugural press conference after the re-foundation of the company took place in the Dresden residential palace. At the event, company founder Walter Lange and his partner Günter Blümlein acquainted journalists and dealers with the first four timepieces of the new era, among them the LANGE 1.

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

It was a moving moment that Walter Lange later described as follows: "The resonance was overwhelming and exceeded our loftiest expectations." Because the daily newspapers covered the event in their next-day editions, the outsize date had been set to 25. Since then, this number has been shown on all photos of every Lange watch with an outsize date display. Today, the media and social networks spread the news in real time. So in 2016, as a concession to the digital era, the event date and the displayed date are identical.

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

The LANGE 1 TIME ZONE has ranked among the most popular models of the LANGE 1 watch family since 2005. The clearly organised dial delivers a single-glance reading of home time and the time in a second time zone. The time zone is set with a lateral pusher. It advances the rotating city ring with the 24 place names from west to east. On the ring, Dresden – instead of Berlin as in the standard version – represents Central European Time. Additionally, the hour hand on the small subsidiary dial moves forward by one step with each actuation of the pusher. An ingenious synchronisation mechanism also makes it possible to transfer the zone time on the subsidiary dial to the main dial.

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

Subtle colour changes in the design of the city ring differentiate it from the standard version. The dots between the city names and GMT are blue instead of red. Now, the previously black peripheral ring of the second time zone has the same blue hue as well.

The case in 18-carat honey gold has a diameter of 41.9 millimetres. The exclusive material is harder than other gold alloys. The lavishly hand-finished manufacture calibre L031.1 is assembled twice and has a power reserve of three days. Limited to 100 watches, the Dresden edition of the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE is available exclusively in the 17 A. Lange & Söhne boutiques.

Ulysse Nardin – JADE Stainless Steel

Ulysse Nardin – JADE Stainless Steel Manufacture Caliber Essentially for Ladies NEW

Ulysse Nardin “JADE ” Unleashes 

Its Beautiful Femininity in Stainless Steel

A first among many, Jade entered the Ulysse Nardin family of high horology as the signature timepiece for women. Never before had the manufacturer designed and produced an in-house movement exclusively for a ladies collection. Uniquely, this special piece does not call for pushing or pulling of the crown in order to set the date and time. A nail-friendly mechanism, it is intended to protect a woman’s manicure, which is made possible by its ‘1-2-3’ caliber; each manipulation is easily made by turning the crown forwards or backwards without any need to pull it out. As well, ladies no longer need to fiddle to adjust the date. This original watch is stunningly simple and superbly practical to use, making it a favorite among women.

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

Enhancing the practicality of Jade is its incorporation of silicium, a technologically-advanced material with many benefits, one being it is unaffected by magnetics. Ladies can rest assured that functionality will never be inconveniently disrupted by items like mobile phones. Appreciated by its female wearers for its style and substance alike, Ulysse Nardin is pleased to introduce Jade in stainless steel.

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

The name in itself invokes images of eastern royalty, exuding an elegance that is supremely regal. Especially feminine, diamonds enfold its mother-of-pearl dial, which is further accented by a diamond-set bezel and diamond drops and swirls across its face. The theme of curves continues in its time markers, detailed in rich, bold color, as its stainless steel case reveals strength and confidence. Here, soft and strong collide in a remarkable finish.

Now a collection all its own, the Jade assemblage presents endless possibilities for its female clientele, whom Ulysse Nardin is dedicated. Sensual creations meet Ulysse Nardin innovation.

Two legendary manufacturers – Zenith and Cohiba – united in a spirit of authenticity and expertise.

The tobacco leaf on display

Connoisseurs will be fighting to get their hands on this timepiece. And not without reason: Only a handful of Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute to Cohiba pieces have been manufactured. They celebrate Zenith's collaboration with the most prestigious cigar brand in the world. Displayed in an elegant rose gold case of 45 mm in diameter, the timepiece boasts a unique amber-coloured dial.

 Crafted in gold and engraved by hand, it reproduces the texture and feel of a tobacco leaf to perfection, while the shimmering brown enamel brings with it the feeling of an authentic puro. Just like a hand-rolled Habanos, this masterpiece has a complex aroma, combining strength and finesse. Beneath the domed sapphire crystal, the applique hour-markers and the faceted, gold-plated hands showcase the spectacular self-regulating Gravity Control module, encircled by the Zenith and Cuban brand emblems.

Precision hour wheel

The uniqueness of the Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute to Cohiba is also reflected in its Manufacture movement, which combines two mechanisms ensuring unequalled precision: On the one hand, a regulating organ with high-frequency oscillations (5 Hz) enabling tenth of a second time sequencing, and on the other, a patented Gravity Control gyroscopic module which neutralises the effects of gravity on the watch operation. Housed in a case with a water resistance of up to 30 metres and equipped with a total of 308 components – 171 of which are used for the gyroscopic module – the hand-wound El Primero 8804 calibre features off-centred hours and minutes functions, small seconds, a self-regulating Gravity Control module and a power reserve indicator boasting an autonomy of more than 50 hours.

A heads up for enthusiasts: Each Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute to Cohiba is a unique piece equipped with a brown alligator rubber-lined strap with a rose gold triple folding clasp, and presented in an exclusive wood humidor box which transforms into a tobacco case.
